The Kobelco SK55 is a mini-excavator in the 5-tonne class, combining an operating weight of 5263 kg with an engine output of 37 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.16 m3, positioning it as a compact but capable machine for tasks requiring controlled digging force. As part of Kobelco's established excavator lineup, the SK55 is designed to balance manoeuvrability with productive output in confined working environments.
Mini-excavators in the 5-tonne class are well suited to urban construction, landscaping, utility trenching, and site preparation work where access is restricted. The compact footprint allows operation in areas inaccessible to larger equipment, making this class a practical choice for contractors working on residential and light civil projects. The 0.16 m3 bucket capacity supports precise excavation and material handling without the overhead of a full-size machine.
When inspecting a used mini-excavator of this class, buyers should assess the condition of the undercarriage, including rubber tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these components are subject to significant wear. The boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings warrant close examination for play and wear. Hydraulic hoses and cylinder seals should be inspected for leaks, and a full cycle of all functions, including swing, travel, and auxiliary circuits, should be performed under load. Service history documentation, particularly evidence of regular oil and filter changes, is an important indicator of how the machine has been maintained.
On the European used market, the SK55 is recorded at an average price of EUR 3200, with the current observed price range also sitting at EUR 3200. Buyers evaluating this machine should consider comparable units from direct competitors in the same weight class, namely the Komatsu PC55 and the Hitachi ZX55U, when benchmarking condition and value for a given asking price.
