Kobelco Semi Long Reach hybrid excavator for Markusse

The Markusse company from 's-Heer Abtskerke (Zeeland) has took delivery of a Kobelco SK210HLC-10 Semi Long Reach hybrid excavator. This fully equipped hybrid crawler excavator, with an 11-meter reach, replaces a 2013 Volvo EC220D with 11,000 hours on the counter. This is already the fourth Kobelco for Markusse!

A unique feature of the hybrid Kobelco is that the energy for propulsion is not generated solely by the swing engine. The 25kW generator motor charges the battery pack continuously. Due to the flywheel effect, this takes very little energy and the battery is charged even when idling. The swing motor of the hybrid is fully electric and at every digging cycle the electric motor supports the conventional fuel engine. This allows the same work to be done at lower rpm. The Kobelco SK210HLC-10 with large battery pack with lithium-ion technology is one of the most successful hybrid machines in its class.

In addition to extending the boom and dipperstick, this hybrid machine is equipped with a dome under the monoboom, cross control to promote the extension boom and the counterweight is weighted at 2 tons. Furthermore, the Semi Long Reach for Markusse was equipped by the professionals of the Kemp Group with, among other things, a hydraulic quick coupler, leak oil line, BMWT immobilizer, Carkit, 27MC and FreshFilter overpressure system.
