SANY UK Launches Its First Micro Excavator

SANY UK has introduced the SY10U, a 1-tonne class micro excavator engineered for high performance in confined and urban environments. This latest addition extends SANY’s compact excavator portfolio, offering contractors, landscapers, and utility specialists a machine that balances compact dimensions with robust output.

Built to meet the growing demand for efficient equipment in tight-access applications, the SY10U canopy machine features:

• Operating weight: approx. 1,195 kg
• Maximum digging depth: 1,868 mm
• Maximum reach at ground level: 3,539 mm
• Engine output: Modern Kubota engine delivers 8.8 kW @ 2,200 rpm
• Hydraulic system: load-sensing with precision control
• Zero tail swing for safe operation against walls and in restricted spaces
• Retractable undercarriage (from 745 mm to 1,100 mm) for passage through narrow entry points

Durability and serviceability were key priorities in the SY10U’s design. Steel bodywork and a reinforced boom and arm ensure structural strength, while simplified ground-level service points reduce downtime.

“The SY10U marks an exciting step for SANY UK as we expand our mini and micro excavator range,” said Leigh Harris, Business Development Director. “Customers have been asking for a machine that combines reliability, efficiency, and compact design – and the SY10U delivers on every level.”

The new model also benefits from EVI telematics and SANY UK’s industry-leading 5-year / 5,000-hour warranty, reflecting the company’s confidence in build quality and lifecycle value.

The SY10U is available immediately through SANY UK’s authorised dealer network across the UK and Ireland.
