The Kobelco SK230SR LC-7 is a reduced-tail-swing hydraulic excavator in the 23-ton class, designed for general earthmoving, utility work, and confined jobsite operation. It is part of Kobelco's SR series and uses a short-radius upper structure to improve maneuverability in tight spaces. The machine is typically equipped with a diesel engine, hydraulic system optimized for digging and lifting, and a reinforced undercarriage for stability. Common applications include trenching, site preparation, grading, and material handling. The SK230SR LC-7 is used in construction, civil works, and infrastructure projects where compact swing clearance and digging performance are required.
