The Kobelco SK380SR LC-7 is a reduced-tail-swing hydraulic excavator in the 38-ton class, designed for excavation, trenching, site development, and material handling in confined jobsite conditions. It is part of Kobelco's SR series and combines a short rear swing radius with a long undercarriage configuration for stability and maneuverability. The machine is commonly equipped with a diesel engine, advanced hydraulic controls, and a reinforced boom and arm assembly for demanding earthmoving applications. The SK380SR LC-7 is used in construction, utility, roadwork, and general contracting where reach, digging force, and compact swing clearance are important.
