SANY reinvents 8-tonne excavator

SANY has announced the release of the reworked SANY SY80U compact excavator. Based on the success of their popular 8-tonne machine, this advanced version is designed to deliver enhanced operator comfort and productivity, features a new optional two-piece boom and like all SANY excavators comes with a 5 year / 5000 hour warranty for complete peace of mind.  

The tried-and-tested Stage V Yanmar engine remains as the centrepiece of this powerful machine that has a digging depth of 4,535mm, dumping height of 4,530mm and digging reach of 7,290mm. 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 260kg counterweight option, while the two-piece boom model has a 400kg counterweight as standard. 

The new SY80U also 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” touch screen display that has been designed with high performance and ease of use in mind. The joysticks with 2 proportional control circuits are also part of the standard specification and enable safe and precise control of the machine including all its attachments. Furthermore, the ergonomically positioned control lever for the blade with integrated operating position selector makes it even easier to adapt the machine to the relevant work situation, making operation even more effective.

“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 extensive dealer network across the UK and Ireland.
