Compact Power for High‑Efficiency Jobsites
The Kobelco SK55 series (also known as SK55SRX‑6/7) brings exceptional excavation performance in a compact, short‑radius design—ideal for utility work, rental fleets, landscaping, and any site where space is limited but productivity must remain high. For example, the SK55SRX‑7 offers an operating weight of 11,817 lb (5,360 kg) and a 37 hp (27.7 kW) Yanmar engine.Efficiency, Reach & Jobsite Results
With its short‑tail swing design, the SK55 excels in tight environments. It offers up to 12 ft 9 in (3,890 mm) digging depth and approximately 20 ft (6,100 mm) reach at ground level. The advanced hydraulic system shortens cycle times by up to 7 % and improves travel speed by up to 12 % compared to previous versions.Operator Comfort & Fleet‑Friendly Features
Operators benefit from a roomy ROPS/FOPS cab (or canopy option), excellent all‑around visibility, ergonomic controls and straightforward service access. Kobelco’s iNDr cooling system reduces noise and dust ingestion—especially helpful in rental or multi‑machine environments. For rental operators like Rocky Rents, the SK55’s combination of compact transport dimensions and full‑size mini capability makes it a strong fleet addition.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
