MANUFACTURER Sany has released a "reworked" edition of one of its popular compact excavators. 

Based on the eight-tonne SY80U, this "advanced version" is said to deliver enhanced operator comfort and productivity. Featuring a new optional two-piece boom, it is also fitted with a Stage V Yanmar engine. 

The new SY80U comes with a next generation cab with the "highest levels of comfort" to ensure that the operator can achieve maximum productivity while working. Highlights include an upgraded, ergonomic and comfortable air suspension operator’s seat and a new sleek and intuitive 7” touchscreen display that has been designed with high performance and ease of use in mind.

The joysticks with two proportional control circuits are also part of the standard specification and enable safe and precise control of the machine including all its attachments. 

The tried-and-tested Stage V Yanmar engine remains as the centrepiece of this machine that has a digging depth of 4,535 mm, dumping height of 4,530 mm and digging reach of 7,290 mm. The optional two-piece boom increases reach and control, making it ideal for applications such as groundworks, drainage and preparing trenches for utilities. There is also a 260 kg counterweight option, while the two-piece boom model has a 400 kg counterweight as standard. 

 

“The upgraded operators cab and the addition of the optional two-piece boom further empowers operators to do more in less time, maximising productivity while delivering a superior user experience,” said Jonathan Smith, product manager at SANY UK. “This improved model is the result of feedback from our customers and our commitment to providing real solutions to the market”.

The SY80U is registered and protected with the CESAR Datatag Scheme and CESAR ECV for quick and easy verification of emissions category and also comes with EVI telematics as standard.

The new model is now available through SANY’s dealer network across the UK and Ireland.
