SANY UK is gearing up for Plantworx 2025 with a 20-strong machine line-up that includes the company’s first micro-digger.
The SY10U, with a one-tonne operating weight, is powered by a Kubota diesel engine delivering 8.8 kW of power. This ultra-compact machine with zero tail swing has been specially designed for the smallest job sites and confined working areas, with expanding undercarriage (745-1100 mm) and adjustable dozer blade to enhance versatility.
Also premiering at the event will be the new two-tonne SY20C – SANY’s smallest mini-excavator that features air conditioning as standard – and the reduced tail swing SY60U, of the six-tonne class. Optimised for compact sites and demanding applications, SANY said the 42.4 kW Yanmar engine of the SY60U ensures a ‘powerful performance while keeping emissions low’.
SANY will also display its full range of electric excavators, equipped with lithium ion phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are said offer several significant advantages, including safety, longevity, environmental friendliness, and high discharge performance.
The manufacturer launched the electric two-tonne SY19E mini-excavator in 2023 and will have a new upgraded model on display. SANY will also introduce the SY35E, a second fully electric mini-excavator at the show. The four-tonne SY35E is described as boasting up to six hours of operation, 30% lower energy consumption, and a fast-charging function.
Also on the stand will be the 23-tonne class SY215E. SANY said this fully electric crawler excavator, launched in 2024, has received ‘exceptional’ feedback due to its long running time, fast charging capabilities, and digging performance.
For those seeking lifting equipment, the full telehandler range will be on display with lift heights ranging from seven to 18 metres. The two latest models to join the line-up, the 9m STH936 and fully electric 6m STH625e will make their UK debut at the event.
Completing the showcase will be a selection of tandem rollers.
Leigh Harris, business development director for SANY UK, said, “Plantworx is a key event for the construction industry, and we’re proud to showcase SANY’s commitment to innovation, performance, and sustainability. With several UK product debuts and the opportunity for visitors to get hands-on with our machines, Plantworx 2025 is the ideal platform to demonstrate how SANY is helping businesses work smarter and more efficiently.”
Visitors will also have the opportunity to take the controls in a dedicated demo area, where six different excavators will be available — from the one-tonne SY10U to the eight-tonne SY80U, which was relaunched last year and is now available with optional TAB boom and bolt on counterweight.
Those who would like to demonstrate their operating skills can compete in the SANY Operator Challenge, featuring the fully electric SY19E mini-excavator. The competition will be running throughout the duration of the event, with prizes up for grabs.
