The Kobelco SK380SR LC-7 is a short-radius crawler excavator in the 38-ton class, designed for construction, utility, and site development work where reduced tail swing is required. It is part of Kobelco's SK-7 series and is commonly used for digging, trenching, loading, and general earthmoving applications. The machine features a hydraulic excavator undercarriage, a short rear swing design, and a cab configured for operator visibility and control. The SK380SR LC-7 is typically selected for projects with space constraints, while still providing the reach, breakout force, and lifting capability expected from a large excavator in the excavators category.
