Safety First with the Kobelco SK550DLC-11
Demolition site safety is paramount. The SK550D LC-11 integrates advanced technology to provide exceptional awareness and accident prevention. The standard Eagle-Eye View system uses cameras on the right, left, and rear of the machine to eliminate blind spots, with the feed displayed clearly on the large cabin monitor. To prevent accidents during operation, the innovative Cab Interference Prevention System alerts the operator and automatically performs a soft stop if the attachment comes too close to the cab. Furthermore, a stability warning system constantly calculates the machine’s posture and alerts the operator with an alarm if it detects a tipping hazard.

We understand that time spent on transport and setup is lost revenue. That’s why the Kobelco designed this machine for quick and easy assembly and disassembly, ensuring maximum uptime. The NEXT attachment joint system uses a simple hook and pin structure that allows for safe and rapid boom changes. For transport, the machine’s crawler width can be hydraulically retracted without needing to lift the machine, and the counterweight is designed to be easily separated. Even hydraulic pressure can be drained safely from a menu on the operator’s monitor, simplifying the entire disassembly process.
