The 20–21.5 t class "doer of earthmoving" — fuel-efficient, powerful digging and precise control for general construction.
Get A QuoteOverview
The SY215C is the 20–21.5 t class medium excavator engineered as the everyday workhorse of general construction, urban sites, roadworks and medium earthmoving. It is built for contractors seeking predictable performance and low running cost.
A Mitsubishi 4M50 powertrain rated at 118 kW cuts fuel cost by up to 10%, while optimized positive-flow hydraulics raise operating efficiency by up to 5%. A 0.93 m³ bucket delivers 138 kN bucket digging force and 103 kN arm digging force.
Low-effort ergonomic controls and reduced pressure loss make long shifts comfortable and precise, and SANY's dealer network across 180+ countries backs every machine with parts, training and warranty. Ask for a direct quote for your earthmoving scope.
