Get A QuoteOverview
The SANY excavator lineup spans the complete working spectrum — compact 1 t mini excavators built for tight urban sites, general-purpose mid-size machines for building and road projects, and 400 t mining-class giants engineered for the world's largest open-pit mines. Across the range, large models offer bucket capacities from 1.5 to 8 m³, engine power from 205 to 567 kW and operating weights up to 125 tons, with more than 20 optional working devices covering quarrying, infrastructure and general earthworks.
Every machine pairs the engine, hydraulic pump and main control valve as one optimised system, improving energy transfer, cutting fuel use and lowering routine maintenance expense by up to 50%. A reinforced multi-stage fuel filtration system keeps engines protected in dusty and high-altitude conditions, while a design lifetime of up to 25,000 hours supports long service intervals and fewer unplanned stops on site.
Typical applications include municipal and residential construction, road and railway earthworks, quarry and aggregate operations, water conservancy projects and large-scale mining. SANY excavators are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management and CE-certified for key export markets, and are supported by genuine parts, training and after-sales service through a global network of more than 270 authorised dealers across 180+ countries.
