Mr. Pradana, Director @ Indonesia

PT. Karya Terang Utama, a palm oil plantation company based in Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat, has found the perfect machinery partner in the KOBELCO SK50P mini excavator. According to Mr. Pradana, Director of PT. Karya Terang Utama, the compact size and powerful performance of the SK50P make it exceptionally suited for operations in plantation environments. Designed with a short radius and strong swing bracket, the excavator easily navigates tight plantation paths without damaging palm branches—ensuring optimal yields.

Built for tropical conditions, the SK50P includes air vents for cooling, a larger radiator, and a dust filtration system to protect the engine. Its strong boom, reinforced arms, and pre-fuel filters enhance durability, even in swampy terrain. Fuel efficiency is adjustable via S-mode, further improving cost control.

Mr. Bastian, an operator who has worked with the SK50P since 2010, praises its comfort, easy controls, and straightforward maintenance. He also highlights the machine’s reliability and bright lighting, which supports safe operation even at night.

The SK50P’s powerful engine and efficient hydraulics deliver excellent performance for tasks such as digging water channels and lifting heavy loads, making it a trusted asset in plantation operations.
