Kobelco
Kobelco has laid new ground in the Australian market with the launch of a 16-tonne
digger/dozer hybrid; the ED160 Blade Runner.
The ED160 Blade Runner combines the digging power of the popular Kobelco
SK135SR-3 excavator and a six-way power and tilt dozer blade. The blade is similar
in size and volume to the blade on a
90 HP dozer.
The ED160 Blade Runner can
be used anywhere an excavator or
bulldozer would be deployed, for
example cutting forest roads and
associated drainage work, or stripping
vegetation prior to digging trenches
and laying pipes. The ED160 Blade
Runner offers powerful digging
together with fine grading capabilities
to provide a one-machine solution on
job sites.

look’ textured finish, and a comfort
grip for improved ergonomics. All

whatever the conditions.

toughness of yesteryear with the
form and functionality required
from today’s hard-working tradies,
through a range of jeans, shorts,
