There is nothing middle of the pack when it comes to SANY’s mid-sized excavators. Getting the right machine for the job is vital, and SANY understands how to help.
The machines in the middle of SANY’s fleet have proven popular due to their flexibility, diverse applications, and good value. Three machines, in particular, are ticking boxes for its customers and seeing an uplift in deliveries.
The SY80U, SY135C and SY155U are all impressive machines in their own right. As Andy Hopcroft, General Manager Yello Equipment explains.
“People and businesses are starting to see the value in these products. Particularly the availability, the lead times, the warranty and the price tags,” he says.
“Companies are looking for a high yielding machine that can perform all day, every day. It’s all about that return on their investment. The SANY tag is ‘quality changes the world’. We live by that ethos as well.”
The SY80U
Sitting within its compact hydraulic excavators, this machine would be a great addition to a contractor’s construction fleet. Launched in Australia in 2021, the SANY SY80U was a highly anticipated machine from the SANY fleet, due to its list of features and possible applications it was designed for.
Since arriving on Australian shores, the SY80U has lived up to its reputation. It has quickly become a go-to machine for those looking for a reliable, robust machine.
“It’s a really versatile machine even in those environments with limited space. It’s a little powerhouse, we’ve been really impressed with that little model,” he says.
The SY80U is a suitable choice for road and line construction, work on bridges, redevelopment in urban housing construction and landscaping. The applications are endless due to its 9T limited swing, Yanmar T4F engine, load-sensing hydraulic system, reinforced boom, arm, swing platform and its undercarriage.
Within the cabin of the SY80U, operators can benefit from a comfortable cockpit with heating and AC for all-day operation. It also has ergonomic seating, convenient gear changing on the blade lever and joysticks with two proportional control circuits that are also part of the standard equipment.

The SY135C
SANY’s Medium Excavator range starts to introduce some of the bigger machines of the fleet. These units cater for efficiency, safety, and performance.
The SY135C is SANY’s 15T excavator combining power and performance. Ideal for baulking out and delivering on large earthmoving requirements, the universal machine is well suited for digging, crushing, loading and backfilling.
It can also be used in limited space, such as road and canal construction, inner city areas, horticulture, landscaping, and demolition work. Its power allows it to reach high excavating forces, which would otherwise only be possible with a bigger machine.
Another benefit of the SY135C is its large operating radius. This can help to save time, since the machine needs to be moved far less often on the construction site.
The SY155U
The SY155U is no stranger to the market, with extensive media coverage since its launch earlier in the year, due to the high demand and anticipation for this new model. This 16T machine was built using the feedback of experienced operators to ensure it delivers maximum comfort and efficiency.
This machine is powered by a reliable and efficient Isuzu engine and is easy to transport. It can be street ready with a bolt-on rubber pad option and minimal tail swing. The SY155U delivers reliable, high-performance day in and day out.
Hopcroft says customers can also receive extended support after acquiring these models.
“Recently we’ve had a customer who’s been really surprised with the performance, the power and the price tag of these units. What really blew his socks off was the class leading warranty, a five-year extended warranty on our 10 key components. So basically, anything that’s worth money is covered,” he says.
“They’ve absolutely loved it. These machines have nailed the task at hand and that’s given them the confidence to start talking about growing his fleet [of SANY machinery].”
With a range of attachments also available, the SY155U allows operators to reduce the time it takes to change work tools providing convenience and flexibility in the field.
In addition to these three models, SANY has more than a dozen different machines of varying weight classes and applications available within its fleet. SANY also offers finance options, warranties, first-class customer service and an ongoing service and maintenance program.
