About · Kobelco SK300

Overview

The Kobelco SK300 is a large crawler excavator in the 30-tonne class, produced continuously since 2002. It operates at a working weight of 31000 kg and is powered by an engine developing 282 hp, with a standard bucket capacity of 1.2 m3. These figures place it firmly in the heavy civil and infrastructure segment of the excavator market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Machines in this weight and power class are typically deployed on heavy earthmoving, bulk excavation, deep foundation work, and large-scale site preparation. They are also well suited to quarrying, road construction, and demolition support where high digging forces and substantial bucket capacity improve cycle efficiency. The 30-tonne class is a common choice for contractors handling projects that exceed the practical limits of mid-size equipment.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting any machine in this class, prioritise a full review of service and maintenance records to confirm scheduled work has been completed. Examine undercarriage components including track shoes, rollers, and sprockets, as these represent a significant cost centre on heavy excavators. Check hydraulic cylinders, hoses, and couplings for leaks or wear, and operate all functions through their full range to identify any response irregularities. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent qualified engineer is advisable before committing to a transaction at this price level.

Current market

Price position

In the European market the SK300 carries an average asking price of EUR 55750, with a typical price range running from EUR 52000 to EUR 59500. Direct competitors in this segment include the Hyundai HX300 and the JCB JS330, both of which occupy comparable weight and power brackets. Buyers comparing options should assess total hours, service history, and regional parts availability alongside headline price when evaluating value across these three models.
