en.Wedoany.com Reported - Japan's Kobe Steel (KOBELCO) has launched the new 130-ton demolition excavator SK1300DLC-11, which offers increased tool capacity and working height, capabilities previously only seen in larger-tonnage equipment.
KOBELCO states that through various boom and arm combinations, the SK1300DLC-11 can achieve a working height of up to 130 feet and a tool weight of up to 21,000 pounds, enabling it to handle a wide range of applications from high-altitude demolition to foundation work. The excavator features a modular design for easy disassembly and transport. The minimum transport weight of the main unit without counterweight is 134,000 pounds, with no single component exceeding 39,800 pounds.
The model is powered by a 512-horsepower Isuzu Tier 4 Final engine, the same as KOBELCO's recently launched SK850LC-11 model. This engine meets emission regulations through diesel oxidation catalyst and selective catalytic reduction technology, without a diesel particulate filter. The total operating weight is 302,000 pounds.
The SK1300DLC-11 is specifically designed for demolition operations, featuring an independent demolition excavator front end, three-section high-reach, and four-section high-reach multi-configuration front attachments. KOBELCO's new Next Advance attachment system allows operators to handle heavier tools stably at greater heights. The independent boom specifications are suitable for various applications, from low-rise building demolition to foundation demolition. Two settings are available: Normal mode with a maximum tool weight of 21,000 pounds, and Foundation mode allowing the use of larger breakers weighing up to 26,400 pounds. Operators can also equip the independent boom specifications with an insert boom, achieving a working height of 79 feet above ground.
The three-section ultra-long attachment specification balances working height and reach. The 115-foot or 102-foot boom configurations offer working ranges of 69 feet and 62 feet respectively, greater than the four-section specification. When using the four-section ultra-long attachment specification, operators can choose between 115-foot or 130-foot boom configurations. The new articulation joint in the insert boom lowers the machine's overall center of gravity, enabling the use of large breakers. Additional features for the high-reach attachment include transport and storage brackets, water spray system, electronic onboard lubrication system, quick-connect piping, boom and arm safety valves, two-piece removable split counterweight, removable track system with remote lift, energy-saving ECO mode, in-cab hydraulic release, combined rotation and material crusher with proportional hand control, return oil line and filter, and reversible fan.
KOBELCO equips all -11 series excavators with a new cab featuring enhanced ergonomics and safety functions, more space, and better visibility. The demolition-specific SK1300DLC-11 is equipped with noise reduction features and a 30-degree tilting cab with an emergency descent system. The company states that the pilot joysticks move horizontally without requiring wrist bending, while offering shorter lever travel for faster, more precise movements. Multiple air conditioning and heater vents are directed toward the operator. On the right console, a knob integrates multiple functions into a single user interface on a 10-inch color display. The menu displays key information including working modes, maintenance intervals, and fuel consumption. Additional cab features include a 270-degree camera system (with switchable rear lower camera view or high-reach attachment view), rearview mirrors, LED work lights, rear swing flashing lights, secondary FOPS protection and bar-type front guard, P5A safety glass, falling object guard, cab anti-interference system, stability tilt warning, public address speaker system, FM/AM, AUX, Bluetooth radio, smartphone holder, USB charger, and 12-volt power outlet.
The SK1300DLC-11 comes with a three-year/3,000-hour limited machine warranty and a five-year/3,000-hour engine emissions warranty provided through KOBELCO and its dealer network.
KOBELCO SK1300DLC-11 demolition excavator specifications include: engine power 512 hp, engine model Isuzu 6WG1, operating weight 279,100 lb – 302,000 lb, tail swing radius 15' 10", swing speed 3.3 rpm, swing torque 232,332 lbf. Attachment configurations include: two-piece removable counterweight, removable track system with four-point upper frame lift; long insert boom (N2-A), main front boom (N3/N4), front boom (N5/N6/N7); standard front arm (N8-A, pin-on SK500), half-length front arm (N8-B, pin-on SK350). The machine can operate in multiple configurations as a three-section/four-section high-reach or using a "separate" demolition excavator boom. The separate demolition/excavator boom assembly (with insert boom N2-B) has a maximum height of 78 feet, tool weight 21,164 pounds, working depth 26 feet, pin-on SK500 linkage. Three-section and four-section UHR front ends have maximum heights of 101 feet (tool weight 13,448 pounds), 115 feet (tool weight 11,464 pounds), and 130 feet (tool weight 9,480 pounds, using ultra-long insert boom). Pin-on SK500 when using standard front arm (N8-A), pin-on SK350 when using half-length arm (N8-B).
