2002 Kobelco SK130UR Hydraulic Excavator - 6,213 Hours - Enclosed Cabin

Overview

The Kobelco SK130UR is a compact to mid-sized tracked hydraulic excavator engineered for versatile earthmoving, demolition, and material handling applications. This 13-tonne class machine delivers reliable performance across construction sites, landscaping projects, and general excavation work. The SK130UR platform is renowned for its balanced digging force, smooth hydraulic response, and operator comfort in an enclosed cabin configuration. With over two decades of proven field performance, this model remains a practical choice for contractors seeking dependable mid-range excavation capability at competitive operating costs.

This 2002 example presents as a working machine with honest patina reflecting its 6,213 operating hours. The turquoise paint shows characteristic fading and oxidation consistent with age and outdoor exposure, particularly visible on the cabin roof and upper boom panels. The enclosed cabin remains structurally sound with functional glazing, though window seals show age-related deterioration. The Isuzu four-cylinder diesel engine runs and operates, delivering 62.5 kilowatts of power. Undercarriage condition reflects moderate wear typical of this hour range, with rubber track pads retaining approximately 50-60% remaining service life. The boom and arm show surface corrosion and minor denting on the counterweight, while the hydraulic system functions with minor weeping at connection points. The standard 1500 GP bucket is included with 3x additional buckets 480mm Rock bucket, 900mmW Rock Bucket and 300 Trench Bucket. This is a machine ready for work, not showroom condition, and priced accordingly for buyers seeking functional excavation capability rather than cosmetic presentation.

Comparable 2002-era Kobelco SK130 machines with similar hours have recently sold in the Australian market ranging from AUD 18,000 to 24,000 depending on undercarriage condition and hydraulic integrity. This example, with its functional enclosed cabin and operational hydraulic system, represents fair value for contractors requiring immediate excavation capability without significant restoration investment.
