2012021000 Printed in Japan
 Announcing ACERA GEOSPEC and the Concept of Beautiful Performance.

The Power Wave of Change

When we set out to design our new hydraulic excavators, we kept our eyes on the big picture.
Of course we wanted machines with greater digging capacity.
But they also had to be fuel-efficient and economical, while imposing less of a burden on the local and global environments.
Applying our advanced technologies, we developed KOBELCO’s new ACERA GEOSPEC series,
an entirely new kind of excavator that beautifully balances all the demands of today’s construction industry.
Lean and efficient with capacity to spare, these sleek powerhouses bring a whole new style to the worksite while setting
new standards for environmental responsibility.

Pursuing the “Three E’s”

The Perfection of Next-Generation, Network Performance
Enhancement Economy Environment
Greater Performance Capacity Improved Cost Efficiency Features That Go Easy on the Earth
New hydraulic circuitry minimizes pressure loss Advanced power plant that reduces fuel Auto Idle Stop as standard equipment
High-efficiency, electronically controlled consumption Noise reduction measures (with improvement of
Common Rail Fuel Injection Engine Easy maintenance that reduces upkeep costs the sound quality) minimize noise and vibration
Powerful travel and arm/bucket digging force High structural durability and reliability that
retain machine value longer

ACERA GEOSPEC
The “GEO” in GEOSPEC expresses our deep respect for our planet, and for the solid ground where excavators are in their element. This is accompanied by SPEC,
which refers to the performance specifications needed to get the job done efficiently as we carry on the tradition of the urban-friendly ACERA series. Photos in this catalog are the optional specs with 0.93 m3 bucket, 800 mm shoes, arm rock guard, and pre-air cleaner.
