Kobelco SK210LC-10 long reach: fronts, buckets and lift

Identify the long front before using the SK210LC-10 range table

Kobelco's Southeast Asian long-reach sheet offers both fifty-foot and sixty-foot fronts on the SK210LC-10. The longer arrangement uses a smaller ISO-heaped bucket and a slower published swing speed. Those differences make the front specification essential when comparing dredging machines.

The model badge alone does not identify the permitted bucket or the operating envelope.

The sheet's fifty-foot combination uses an 8,750 mm boom with a 6,350 mm arm. Its sixty-foot combination instead pairs a 9,900 mm boom and 7,900 mm arm. The adjacent sixty-foot SK260LC uses different components again.

Do not borrow the SK260 dimensions simply because the nominal reach class matches. A replacement arm, transport plan or attachment quotation must name the actual combination.

Shoe width also changes the published mass and ground pressure. The Southeast Asian table supplies separate entries for 600 mm and 800 mm shoes within each front arrangement. Its lightest figure is not a general weight for every long-reach machine.

Read across one complete column; selecting the lowest weight and lowest pressure from different columns would describe a configuration the table never specifies.

The North American fifty-foot machine has its own lift conditions

The North American sheet identifies a Hino J05E-UM and a net rating of 160 hp. Its SK210 lift chart assumes the stated counterweight and 31.5-inch shoes, with the bucket absent. Accessory weight must be deducted from the listed capacities.

A coupler or fitted bucket is therefore part of the lift calculation, not free payload above the chart figure.

That chart distinguishes loads over the front from loads over the side, and identifies hydraulically limited entries with an asterisk. Maximum digging reach is not a lifting capacity. Select the row for hook height and the column for working radius, then use the matching orientation.

A photo showing the boom at full extension supplies none of those missing load conditions.

The North American ditch-bucket schedule is SAE-rated and includes a material-density restriction. Southeast Asian ISO bucket figures answer a differently specified question. Keep the standard, market and front together instead of choosing the largest capacity from either publication.

The same caution applies to swing speed: regional sheets disagree, so a faster figure from another edition is not evidence that a particular machine is faulty.

For a dredging quotation, request the boom and arm identification plus the installed bucket's mass. Those details allow the range envelope and load chart to be matched to the machine. Without them, even an accurately copied reach figure cannot establish how much material the excavator can safely handle at that distance.
