Sany UK To Showcase New Excavators At ScotPlant 2022

SANY UK & Ireland will have its biggest ever stand at the ScotPlant show later this month and will debut two new excavators now available in the UK. The SY390H, a 40-tonne tracked excavator, and the SY75U, a 7.5-tonne conventional type excavator in the midi class will be exhibited alongside the existing range of SANY's excavators from mini's to 50-tonne demolition machines.

The new SY75C with Stage V YANMAR engine is one of the most impressive SANY compact excavators and offers the ultimate in productivity. With its powerful high torque drive, the latest hydraulic technology, compact dimensions and state of the art cab, the SY75C is a mighty compact powerhouse that offers a great price to performance ratio.

The larger 40-tonne, SY390 machine is an excavator boasting impressive performance, efficiency, comfort and economy. With world renowned components such as a Cummins L9 Stage V engine and Kawasaki pumps the SY390 provides plenty of power with refined hydraulic pump control. Cab comfort is ensured through a heated air suspension Grammar seat, a 10-inch touch screen, proportional controls on the joysticks and features such as blue tooth phone technology and an operators cool box. Fuel economy is a major focus on all SANY excavators and the recent testing of the SY390 has shown fuel savings of up to a massive 42% over the outgoing SY365C (37T) model meaning significant savings as the construction market has to move to white diesel.

All SANY excavators come with SANY's industry leading 5 year warranty as standard giving customers peace of mind when it comes to the quality and cost of ownership of the machines.

Commenting on the upcoming show, Leigh Harris, Business Development Director for the UK & Ireland said: "We have a fantastic stand at this year's event and the SANY team are really looking forward to meeting our customers, both old and new. One of the main selling features of a SANY excavator is the robustness and reliability of the machine, which is of particular importance in Scotland as the ground's a bit tougher and the operating conditions are harder. This is the ideal opportunity for Scottish operators to come along and familiarise themselves with our machines as we'll have our full range on display."

SANY will also be showcasing the SY16, 1.6T canopy excavator aimed at the utility and landscaping marketing and larger SY26, a 2.6T excavator with cab design, both of which were officially launched to the UK market at the Exec Hire Show earlier this year.

For those who would like to put their operating skills to the test, the SANY Operator Challenge will also be in full swing over the course of the two day event.

The SY390H and the SY75U are now both available from the SANY dealer network across the UK and Ireland.
