Kobelco SK140SRLC-5 Tracked Excavator
The Kobelco SK140SRLC-5 tracked excavator is a 14 ton machine with a reduced radius tailswing, ideal for working in confined spaces. It is powered by a 4-cylinder Isuzu AR-4JJ1XASK-01 diesel engine compliant with the latest emmissions regulations which generates 105hp. Different boom options include monoboom, offset boom and two piece hydraulically adjustable boom. The latest release from the Kobelco fanshop is a 1:50th scale replica of the SK140SRLC-5 tracked excavator which has been developed and produced by Motorart, following hot on the heels of their previous release, the impressive SK210LC-10 conventional tracked excavator.
A blade has been fitted to the undercarriage and even here, extra detailing has been included, with protective covers over the pistons and the hydraulic feed hoses added, something I have not seen included on other models with a blade.
The cabin has a brightly coloured off-white interior with the side and rear interior panelling replicated while the black seat, armrests, joystick controls and foot pedals are all present, complete with the hydraulic cut-off safety lever.
The range of movement of the boom, arm and bucket linkage is authentically captured with small friction fit pins used for assembling the joints. The only areas which could look better are the silver heads of the pins used for the bucket linkage and these would be better if painted over so they are not as noticeable.
Another nice feature on the model is the inclusion of the auxiliary hydraulic circuit which terminates with a silver coloured connection, ideal for anyone wanting to add an aftermarket attachment which requires a hydraulic feed. The SK140SRLC-5 tracked excavator model is exclusive to Kobelco and is available from the Kobelco Fanshop along with other models currently available including the SK210LC-10. Shown below is the SK140SRLC-5 alongside the Kobelco SK210LC-10 showing the size difference |
