SANY Group has launched five all-new small excavator products with fully elevated functionality and performance, which will officially go into the market in 2024.
The SY60C, SY75C, SY80U, SY95C, and SY135C, developed for the European and North American markets, have rolled off the assembly line at SANY’s industry park in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, marking a milestone of SANY’s overseas product strategy.
Aiming to enhance SANY’s competitive advantages in the small excavator markets in Europe and the U.S., SANY has carried out in-depth surveys and research based on the needs, suggestions, and questions from markets outside China, and introduced Plan H – the High-Quality Plan (HQP) in July, which is composed of both product development and quality improvement projects.
“SANY’s international market strategy prioritizes product development as its foremost focus. The launch of five new products by SANY not only strengthens its position in the international market but also drives the overall product development of the entire series”, said Chen Jiayuan, CEO of SANY Heavy Machine, a business division of SANY Heavy Industry.

The enhanced configurations guarantee a more flexible, convenient, and safer operating experience, key upgrades include equipping two sets of auxiliary lines and one set of quick-change lines as well as a standard rear camera that offers a 15 percent better field of view. The standardized and serialized global product configurations for small excavators have also increased the product generalization rate to 75 percent.
The upgraded appearance of the new models not only improves the aesthetics. The 20 percent taller cover achieves smoother aerodynamics and brings up the product’s thermal balance by 8 percent. In the meantime, the new cabin is fully equipped with intelligent controls, Bluetooth, and multi-functional key panels. The cabin sealing rate is up by 20 percent.
