    SANY, a top Chinese construction equipment manufacturer, recently launched a new addition to its family of mini excavators, the SY26U, designed to excel in urban construction zones, as well as for agricultural, landscaping, and other applications.

    Tested & Approved

    The new SY26U, created for the U.S., European, and Australian markets, was recently shown off at a SANY America Open House event, where customers got a chance to get behind the joystick of various machines. Those who tried out the new mini excavator liked the machine’s superior digging force and impressive swing speed. Another customer complimented the SY26U’s Yanmar Tier 4 Final engine, which is both powerful and energy-efficient. Other standout features include an advanced SLSS hydraulic system, a large-sized display screen showing the machine’s condition and optional attachments, and the TOPS/FOPS-certified cab, which ensures the operator remains safe while working with SANY’s equipment.

    This is a zero tail swing model that supports independent boom swing, making it ideal for use in cramped spaces. The mini excavator’s intelligent control system is capable of coordinating pump output and available engine power the produce a more efficient hydraulic system that consumes less fuel.

    An Operator-Friendly Excavator

    Other features that operators will appreciate include a shock-absorbing mechanical suspension seat, a design that simplifies routine maintenance tasks, a large engine hood that makes it easy to access internal components, and a common rear access for the air filter, oil filter, water separator, oil dipstick, expansion tank, and oil filling mouth.
