The rounded form says it all: an excavator built with a tiny rear swing for maximum maneuverability. But KOBELCO has taken this concept one step further by seeing just how much digging performance can be packed into a machine. It’s not the compact design that matters so much as the performance and functions that are actually used on site. And that's just where the new SR Series really shines, thanks to our NEXT-3E concept. So much so, in fact, that the SK135SR and other members of the series bear the same Acera Geospec name as our line of full-size excavators. Thanks to key iNDr technology, we've realized a whole new level of quiet operation, backed by a next-generation power plant that pushes performance to extraordinary new heights. Nine years after developing groundbreaking machines with tiny rear swings, KOBELCO continues to forge ahead as the leader in the field.

The “GEO” in GEOSPEC expresses our deep respect for our planet, and for the solid ground where excavators are in their element. This is accompanied by SPEC, which refers to the performance specifications needed to get the job done efficiently as we carry on the tradition of the urban-friendly ACERA series.
