CONSTRUCTION equipment manufacturer Sunward has announced the firm will make its Plantworx debut this year.
The 500m2 stand will host the launch of several new products from Sunward, which launched itself in Europe in 2015.
Just over half of the stand will be set aside to demonstrate Sunward’s range of short tail excavators, including the recently launched SWE 155UF medium excavator. This will be on display alongside the 2.5-tonne zero tail swing SWE 25UF mini and SWE 60UF compact diggers.
Plantworx will also act as the UK debut for Sunward’s SWE 20FED – a two-tonne fully electric mini-excavator. The machine is described as particularly suitable for urban sites with strict requirements around emissions and noise. A tail swing radius of just 1,110mm makes it suitable for confined spaces.
The SWE 20FED is available in cab and canopy format. It features a lithium-ion battery and a three-phase asynchronous motor, providing an autonomy of more than six hours under full working load. The machine can be fast charged in under two hours or fully charged in seven.
Also debuting in the UK will be the new SWE 155UF medium short tail. Weighing 16-tonnes and boasting a short radius, the model is also available with a two-piece boom. It is equipped with a Cummins engine with 90 kW/2200 rpm.
Sunward’s SWE 08B, SWE 18UF, SWE 35UF and SWE 90UF excavators will also be on display.
Elsewhere on the stand, Sunward plans to present its compact tracked loader, the SWTL4538, as well as a scissor lift.
Plantworx will see the debut of Sunward’s new SWA 16JE electric articulated boom lift. The machine is said to have all-terrain capabilities and a compact size, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor work. Safety features include an anti-tilt system and emergency lowering valve.
New attachments to be showcased include hydraulic quick couplers, augers, sorting grapples, buckets, breakers and Steelwrist tiltrotators.
