The SK240LC is a 24-tonne machine, and 24 tonnes is the awkward middle of the Kobelco range: heavier than the 21-tonne SK210LC that fills most rental fleets, lighter than the 25- and 26-tonne SK250-8 and SK260LC-8 that most catalogue columns are built around. Owners of this class discover the consequence on the first serious repair. The parts book they were handed covers the neighbouring models, the dealer's system asks for a model code that does not match the machine in front of them, and every quotation turns into a negotiation about which machine the seller thinks they own. This guide sets out how Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. prices a 24-tonne order so that the number you receive is the number for your machine.
Why a 24-tonne machine creates ordering friction
Excavator parts are catalogued by model, and model codes are assigned by market and by production run. A machine sold into one region as a 24-tonne unit can share its engine, hydraulic pump and undercarriage with a machine sold elsewhere under a 25-tonne badge, or share almost nothing with it, depending on which platform the factory was building that year. Nothing about the number on the decal tells you which case you are in. What tells you is the data plate and the component plates, which is why the first step in quoting this class is a set of photographs, not a price.
Five photographs that decide the quotation
| What to photograph | What it decides | Why it matters on a 24-tonne machine |
|---|---|---|
| Machine nameplate (model + serial) | Model family, generation, build period | The serial breaks ties between two machines carrying the same model code |
| Engine nameplate | Every engine-bay number: filters, injectors, turbo, gaskets | Engine fitment follows the engine code, never the excavator decal |
| Hydraulic pump plate | Pump assembly and regulator family | Two pump families can sit behind the same sheet metal |
| Final drive plate | Travel motor and reduction numbers | This is where the most expensive mismatches happen |
| Track shoe and link measurement | Undercarriage numbers | Shoe width and link pitch are measured, not guessed from the model |
The families we quote for this class
Our SK240LC model page lists seven supplied categories (Kobelco publishes the model range at kobelco.co.jp), and they are supplied in order of confidence. Filters, seals and engine consumables are the easiest: the engine plate settles them. Hydraulic components — pump assemblies, regulators, swing and travel motors — need the component plate, because the assembly number is what the factory built, and the internal parts carry their own numbers underneath it. Undercarriage is a measurement exercise: rollers, idlers and shoes are matched to the machine by dimension and by the number cast or stamped on the part. Electrical parts sit in between: controllers and monitors are matched by serial range, while relays, sensors and switches are matched by number. Cooling and cab parts are the slowest to confirm because the same machine can carry two different cooler stacks depending on the market it was built for.
What "commonly quoted" means in our quotations
When a number is not confirmed for your serial, we write it as commonly quoted and say so in the quotation. That is not a hedge, it is information: it tells you the number is the one the market uses for that position on that class of machine, and that fitment will be confirmed against your plate before the carton is sealed. Every line also states whether the item is genuine, OEM or aftermarket, because the three are not interchangeable in price or in service life, and a buyer comparing quotations deserves to know which one they are comparing.
How an order is built
An SK240LC order at Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. is built in three passes. First we confirm the machine: plate, serial, engine code, component plates. Second we confirm the position: which circuit, which side, which generation, using the parts diagram if you have one and our own part number search if you do not. Third we quote, with availability split honestly between stock and order. We hold 3,000+ part types on the shelf and have 100,000+ part numbers available to order through original supply channels, and we would rather quote a three-day lead than promise next-day on something we do not hold.
Where we stand, in plain terms
Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. is an independent supplier. We are not affiliated with Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and we do not present ourselves as a Kobelco dealer; Kobelco parts reach you through original supply channels, alongside quality aftermarket alternatives where the buyer prefers them. What we do hold is formal authorization for Mitsubishi, Garrett, TONGMYUNG, Marusan and NIKURA, and a parts business that has run since 2007. On a machine like the SK240LC, that experience is the difference between a quotation that fits and one that has to be returned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SK240LC the same machine as the SK250-8?
No. They are different models and the safe assumption is that nothing transfers without checking. Some components in the 24- to 26-tonne band are shared across a platform family, but which ones depends on the build period and the market the machine was sold into. Send the machine nameplate and serial plus a photo of the component plate, and Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. confirms fitment against your machine rather than against the model name.
Can you quote parts for a 24-tonne Kobelco without the serial number?
We can quote a price, but not a confirmed fitment. A model code alone will get you an indicative number; the serial and the component plates are what turn it into an order we will stand behind. For high-value items such as a hydraulic pump assembly 2924610-0030 / YN10V00005S156 or a travel motor, we will not ship on a model code alone.
What stock do you actually hold for this class?
3,000+ part types on the shelf in Guangzhou, and 100,000+ part numbers available to order through original supply channels. Filters, seals, relays and sensors for the 24-tonne class are usually shelf items; pump assemblies, travel motors and swing machinery are usually order lines with a lead time we state up front.
