The Kobelco Tier 4i SK485 Mark 9 excavator delivers up to 15-percent fuel efficiency with a new Economy power mode, and features an upgrade to Kobelco’s intelligent hydraulics. The unit features an operating weight of 111,774 pounds and a dig depth of 25 feet, 7.5 inches. The larger, isolation-mounted cab features standard ROPS and FOPS protection, repositioned controls, moveable front and door windows and more glass to improve side visibility. A new control monitor provides key operating data, including a new function that graphs fuel consumption per hour, and a rear camera view to improve the operator’s view of the back of the machine. The unit is engineered for heavy applications such as mainline pipeline construction, road and bridge work and sewer and underground utilities. www.kobelcoamerica.com/Pages/homepage.aspx
