If you’re looking for a mid-range excavator with a restricted tail swing but enough power to stand out from the crowd, the SANY 155U is now available to order from CEA
With CEA being named the new local dealer for SANY excavators in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia and the national dealer for material handling equipment, the partnership means CEA customers across these states have access to premium quality machinery from a well-respected global brand, while SANY customers can now access CEA’s expertise and nationwide reach.
With new equipment beginning to enter the country, a popular mid-range machine in recent years has been SANY’s SY155U 15-tonne compact excavator.
CEA product manager Deon Cope says there’s a good reason for this – plenty of power in a compact machine.
“The SY155U gives CEA a true 15 tonne class reduced tail excavator that fills an important market segment,” he says.
“It delivers the power, stability and lift capacity customers expect from a conventional machine, while offering the reduced swing clearance and confidence required for tighter sites.
“For contractors, it means fewer compromises – you get productivity, reliability and operator comfort in a compact working machine.”
With reduced tail swing, the SY155U’s designed for work on restricted sites but brings the power with an Isuzu 4JJX engine delivering 78.5kW (105hp) @ 1,900 rpm.
With SANY describing the SY155U as its ‘jewel in the crown’ this model delivers high level performance in tight spaces with a 103kN digging force, 0.6 cubic metre bucket capacity and top travel speed of 5.3km/h.
The maximum digging depth of the machine reaches 5,468mm with a max digging reach of 8,338mm, with a maximum dumping height of 6,756mm.
“A standout feature of the SY155U is the reduced tail swing design, which improves site safety and manoeuvrability without sacrificing stability,” Cope says.
“Operators also benefit from a spacious, well appointed cab with excellent visibility, intuitive controls and low noise levels, making it comfortable for long shifts.
“From a contractor’s perspective, SANY’s focus on heavy duty structures, proven hydraulic components and simplified service access translates into strong reliability and lower whole of life costs.”
Cope also says the warranty is a major strength of the SANY offering.
“The SY155U is backed by SANY’s industry leading warranty support, delivered locally by CEA,” he says.
“This gives customers real confidence that their machine is protected long after delivery, with parts availability, technical support and experienced service teams.”
With fuel prices always front of mind, low energy consumption is achieved via a smart auto-throttle function, which adapts the pump capacity to the available engine power.
For improved safety, the SY155U comes fitted with non-slip handrails, large mirrors and a camera for greater visibility around the machine, while a reinforced chassis ensures the excavator can withstand the wear and tear of construction sites.
In the cab, an air-suspended seat and climate control help make a long day comfortable, with a high-resolution display providing easy access to all machine functions. Different operating modes that can be selected by the operator adjusts the engine and hydraulic power to suit the application at hand.
For maintenance the engine bonnet is easy to open, and the filter, radiator and battery are arranged centrally for quick access.
“The SY155U is ideally suited to civil, infrastructure and urban construction sites where space is limited but performance can’t be compromised,” Cope says.
“We see strong demand from contractors working in road construction, general earthworks, services installation, commercial building sites and industrial developments, particularly where machines are operating close to traffic, structures or existing assets.”
The SY155U is now available to order through CEA’s QLD, NSW and SA branches, with units either in stock or scheduled for arrival.
“We’re encouraging customers to speak with their local CEA branch early, as interest has been strong ahead of the official market release,” Cope adds.
