Our main business is in crawler cranes, and with a product line-up that competes with the best in the world, the KOBELCO brand is now widely trusted for quality and reliability. We have diversified our range of wheel cranes, focusing on developing machines for this new age where care of the environment is such a high priority. In the used equipment business we see future potential worldwide.

The global economy is difficult to predict, but whether times are good or bad Kobelco Cranes is committed to making our products more attractive and the information and services we supply more profitable. To achieve this, in other words to further strengthen our management base, we examine all possibilities, such as opening new business bases overseas, and decentralizing for greater specialization, and reject nothing. Also, we believe it is equally important as an organization to make full use of our employees’ individual talents, and to give satisfaction to all our stakeholders.

At Kobelco Cranes we will stay on track while ever aiming for greater flexibility.
