Powerful and dependable, the K008-3’s diesel engine delivers superior horsepower and performance. It offers low noise and vibration levels, exceptional fuel efficiency, and complies with the EPA’s 2008 Tier IV emissions regulations.
TPSS is standard equipment, allowing the operator to select the most familiar operating control pattern, either ISO or SAE.

All the hydraulic hoses hidden with in the boom and dipper arm. With the boom mounted on top of the boom, the K008-3 increases service life by offering outstanding protection from damage.
Rollover Protective Structure provides you with an extra measure of safety. It folds down to make easier transporting and storage of the excavator.
By running inside the dipper arm, the bucket hoses are also well protected from damage.

A convenient toe-heel pedal lets you easily operate both the boom swing and upper-house swivel at the same time.
For maximum productivity, its digging/dumping heights, digging depths, and digging radius at ground level have all been increased.
To enable passage through narrow spaces such as doorways and gates, the adjustable width track frame can reduce the K008-3’s track width down to 2’4”(700 mm) by simply operating a single lever. Plus, changing the blade width is as easy as removing one pin by hand.
