Kobelco comfort

The -11 series cab is equipped with enhanced ergonomics and safety features with ample space and visibility. The operator’s pilot levers move horizontally without arching of the wrist, while also providing shorter lever strokes to deliver a swifter, more precise movement.
Built for demolition, the sound suppressed 30-degree tilting cab comes with an emergency lowering system. As well, the -11 machine features a 270-degree camera system with switchable rear-under view camera or high reach attachment view, rear view mirrors, LED work lights, rear swing flashers, demolition Level II FOPS guard and bar type front guard, P5A safety glass, falling object deflector, cab interference prevention system, stability tip-over warning and public address speaker system for on the ground handsfree communication.
Multiple air conditioning and heater vents are directed towards the operator to maximize comfort, while a jog dial integrates multiple functions into a single user interface with the large 25-cm colour monitor.
The menu screen facilitates reading of valuable information including work mode, maintenance intervals and fuel consumption. The cab is also equipped with an FM/AM, aux input, Bluetooth, hands-free telephone radio, smartphone holder, USB charger and a 12V power outlet.
The 512 hp Isuzu 6WG1 engine meets current Tier 4 Final and Stage V emission requirements. The engine features a 15.7-litre, in-line 6-cylinder design, known for its power and reliability in demanding applications.
The engine is commonly used in various heavy-duty trucks, construction and other industrial equipment. Kobelco currently uses the 6WG1 engine in its SK850LC-11 excavator.
