SY18C | SY18U

EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE IN MINI FORMAT

The SANY SY18C and SY18U mini excavators deliver outstanding digging performance, precision control, and stability in a highly portable 1.8-tonne package. Powered by a Yanmar 3TNV80F Stage V diesel engine, both models provide 14.6 kW at 2,400 rpm of efficient, low-noise output. A higher bulldozer blade height improves grading efficiency and earthmoving capacity, while the load-sensing hydraulic system ensures smooth, responsive operation and reduced fuel consumption.

 

The SY18U’s zero-tail configuration provides exceptional manoeuvrability in confined spaces, while the SY18C features a conventional tail design that delivers superior digging stability and reach. Both are available with either an open canopy or enclosed FOPS/ROPS-certified cabin, featuring a suspension seat and intuitive controls for operator comfort. Designed for tight urban sites, landscaping, and utility work, these machines are easy to transport thanks to their light weight and compact frame and come standard with all the features you will need — without compromising strength or performance.
