MIMICO is pleased to announce the arrival of the SK500XDLC-10, the first in a line of extra heavy-duty excavators in its XD Series. The SK500XD is built for great durability, engineered to operate in harsh conditions for a variety of applications in New Zealand, such as quarry excavation, subdivision work, underground utility installation, and heavy infrastructure. Weighing in at 52,200 kg, the SK500XD is the heaviest machine in its class.
Designed for the most extreme work environments, the SK500XD is purpose-built with a robust machine body and substantial additional reinforcements to all key areas of stress and wear across the boom, arm, underbody and undercarriage. The specially adapted heavy-duty boom and arm set is built to last in the harshest of applications, and features factory fitted, triple-plated, hardened steel applied to all key structural sections, including the boom to arm connection, the boom centre and the end of the arm – providing a high level of durability and longevity to the attachment structures. A specially designed full-length rock guard is installed on the inside of the dipper arm, on top of additional steel plating.
