Overview

Kobelco's SK210LC-11 competes in the core 20–22 tonne class. Its iNDr (integrated Noise and Dust reduction) system draws cooling air through a single filtered intake and exhausts it at the rear, making the machine remarkably quiet and easy to keep clean in dusty jobs.

Who it suits

Urban contractors where noise matters, and anyone working in dusty demolition or recycling.
