Below are manufacturer-published nominal specifications. Actual measured values for this unit are in the inspection report. We verify all critical values against the machine on inspection.
We grade by measured fact, not by hope. The bars show our inspector's estimate of remaining service life per major system. Detailed wear photos and OEM-tool readouts are in the inspection report.
The timeline below traces this unit’s known service events. Where source-yard records are incomplete, we reconstruct typical service intervals based on hour count — and disclose this transparently.
First major service interval — engine oil, hydraulic filter, fuel filter replacement.
Mid-life service — coolant flush, final drive oil, swing gear lubrication.
Routine service — air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, hydraulic oil sample analysis.

2018 Kobelco SK200-8 from a Sichuan general-construction contractor, 6,800 hours. The SK200-8 is the modern evolution of Kobelco's flagship 20-tonne platform, featuring the iNDr (integrated noise reduction) cooling system that makes it noticeably quieter than competitors — a real benefit in urban work where noise restrictions apply.
Hino J05E-TI engine, 0.92m³ general-purpose bucket, 20-tonne operating weight, undercarriage approximately 65% remaining. iNDr cooling package — measurably quieter under load than Cat 320 or Komatsu PC200 of similar age. Comfortable Kobelco cabin with above-average operator station.
Grade A. Engine and hydraulics test to spec, no leaks under load. The iNDr cooling system is intact and functioning normally. Cabin in excellent condition — the Kobelco operator station tends to wear better than competitors due to higher-quality seat and dash materials. Service records complete.
Kobelco is the underrated brand in the 20-tonne class. Operators who try one often switch from Cat or Komatsu — the cabin comfort and quieter operation are real advantages on long days. Resale value is slightly below Cat/Komatsu but the price-to-performance is excellent on the used market.
Urban construction (noise-sensitive sites), general earthmoving, infrastructure, mid-scale quarry. Strong markets: Philippines (Kobelco has loyal following), Indonesia, Vietnam (industrial work), Thailand, Myanmar.
Container shipping (40HQ) at 20 tonnes. FOB Shanghai or Guangzhou. Transit: Manila 14 days, Jakarta 16 days, Bangkok 13 days, Yangon 18 days.
Yes — iNDr has been in production since 2008 on the SK-8 series and is well-proven. The main maintenance consideration is keeping the dual-air-intake filters clean (replacement every 500 hours). Filter parts are inexpensive and globally available.
Hino is one of Japan's largest commercial truck engine manufacturers. The J05E-TI is the same engine family used in Hino delivery trucks and Kobelco excavators — excellent parts availability, proven reliability.
