    Mini excavator loaded with big features

    Aug. 15, 2014
    Construction equipment requires lots of power for digging, breaking, hauling, and any other heavy-duty task at hand. But just because compact construction machines are smaller than their full-size counterparts doesn’t mean they can skimp on power. They still need plenty of force for digging, high torque for drilling, and enough power to work quickly.

    Mini excavator loaded with big features

    A big trend in small construction equipment is to capitalize on the features of full-size equipment while retaining the benefits of compact design. Take the SY35U mini-excavator from SANY America Inc., Peachtree City, Ga. The SY35U is powered by a 27.4-hp diesel engine driving a load-sensing hydraulic system that achieves high fuel economy without sacrificing performance.

    SANY America’s SY35U mini-excavator has features normally found in full-size excavators, but not necessarily compact versions.

    The excavator’s dual hydrostatic transmission provides two ground speeds from its hydraulic motors.  In addition to its double-acting hydraulic cylinders for work functions, the SY35U also relies on a hydraulic motor for swing speeds of 9 rpm.

    As with other compact construction equipment, the ability to change attachments quickly is important to take full advantage of a machine’s versatility. To accomplish this, the SY35U has hydraulic lines running down the boom and arm as standard equipment, giving operators easy access for connecting attachments.
