WILMINGTON, NC — KOBELCO Construction Machinery USA Inc. announces that Sound Heavy Machinery (SHM) has been appointed a full-line distributor of KOBELCO excavators across 37 counties in North and South Carolina.

Through this expanded partnership, SHM now offers KOBELCO’s complete lineup of excavators, including SR Series, conventional, specialty, and demolition models, building upon its existing KOBELCO mini-excavator designated market area. Customers will now have access to a broader range of KOBELCO machines, from the SK17SR mini excavator to the SK520LC-11, supporting a wide variety of applications across the construction, forestry, aggregates, agriculture, and auto dismantling industries.

Sound Heavy Machinery is a full-service construction, agricultural, and material handling equipment dealership serving customers throughout the Carolinas. Since 2010, SHM has provided equipment sales, rentals, parts, and service for cranes, excavators, loaders, aggregate equipment, material handling equipment, and other heavy construction and agricultural machinery.

Already an authorized dealer for KOBELCO mini excavators, SHM now expands its KOBELCO offering to include the full line of KOBELCO excavators, as well as other equipment brands, including AUSA, ASV, Lamtrac, Anaconda, Faresin, and Terex RT.
