SANY SY26U – 2.76 t mini-excavator with cab for civil engineering and landscaping (new)
Too big for the garden, too small for the building site? The SANY SY26U operates right in between these two worlds: a mini-excavator weighing around 2.76 t, which, thanks to its 1,550 mm width, can still fit through narrow passageways and courtyards – yet is still capable of serious civil engineering work with a digging depth of 2,820 mm. Fitted as standard with cabin heating, a suspension seat, two proportional auxiliary control circuits and a rotation control on the joystick, it is a fully-fledged piece of machinery for all-day use.
Compact mini-excavator with cab for civil engineering, pipeline construction and landscaping
- Civil engineering and service connections: With a digging depth of 2,820 mm and a reach of 4,850 mm, the SY26U handles trenches, foundations and pipework with ease.
- Pipe and cable laying: Precise excavation with sensitive, proportional control – even when using specialist tools on the auxiliary control circuit.
- Gardening and landscaping: Trenching, planting and landscaping – gentle on the ground thanks to 300 mm rubber tracks.
- Urban and indoor construction sites: With a width of 1,550 mm and a height of 2,430 mm, the SY26U can access courtyards, passageways and buildings.
- Demolition and attachments: Proportional control of the breaker, shear and rotary circuits via the joystick, including pipework – hammers, grapples or rotators can be operated directly.
The three key figures
Operating weight 2,760 kg. In short: this weight ensures stability and digging force. Weighing 2.76 t (including the operator), the SY26U delivers noticeably more power than the 1.8-tonne class, whilst still offering good transportability.
Digging depth 2,820 mm, reach 4,850 mm. A generous working range for this class – the bucket breakout force of 27.9 kN ensures rapid progress even in compacted ground.
Yanmar engine, 15.2 kW. The tried-and-tested Yanmarthree-cylinder 3TNV80F (2,500 rpm) delivers powerful performance without being oversized – economical in fuel consumption and robust in continuous use.
Standard equipment
- Cab with heating, radio with speakers and USB socket, 12 V socket
- Suspended seat with adjustable armrests
- Auxiliary control circuits 1 and 2 with proportional control via the joystick
- Crusher and shear circuits, as well as the rotation circuit, controlled proportionally via the joystick, each including pipework
- 8 pre-set attachments
- LED work lights on the front of the roof and on the boom, rotating beacon
- Removable windscreen, windscreen wipers
- 300 mm rubber track, two travel speeds, swing brake
- Battery isolator, travel alarm
What to look out for before buying
- Plan your transport. Weighing 2.76 t, the SY26U requires a suitable trailer and a towing vehicle with sufficient towing capacity.
- Match the attachments. Two auxiliary hydraulic circuits and the swing circuit make the SY26U very versatile – ensure that attachments are suitable for the excavator’s weight class.
- Choose the right size. For very narrow access routes, a 1.8-metric-tonne excavator is often the better choice; if you regularly need to dig deeper than 3 metres, the 3.5-metric-tonne class is a better option. The SY26U is the all-rounder in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sort of work is the SY26U suitable for?
For civil engineering and service connections, pipe and cable laying, gardening and landscaping, as well as demolition and excavation work in buildings. It is the all-rounder between the very small and the larger mini-excavators.
Will the excavator fit through narrow passages?
With a width of 1,550 mm and a height of 2,430 mm, the SY26U fits through many gates, passageways and into courtyards. For very narrow access points under 1.5 m, a smaller model is recommended.
Can I operate a hammer, grapple or rotator?
Yes. Two proportional auxiliary control circuits, as well as a crusher, shear and rotation circuit on the joystick, are fitted as standard – including pipework – and suitable attachments can be connected directly.
How comfortable is the workplace?
The cab features heating, a radio with a USB port, a suspension seat with adjustable armrests and a removable windscreen – designed for long working days.
How do I transport the SY26U?
With an operating weight of 2.76 t, it requires a suitable trailer and a towing vehicle with the appropriate towing capacity.
