SANY SY35U – 3.8-tonne mini-excavator with air-conditioned cab for civil engineering and landscaping (new)
If you need a mini-excavator to do more – dig deeper, deliver more power, have a longer reach – whilst still remaining manoeuvrable and easy to transport, the 3.8-tonne class is the right choice. The SANY SY35U is the most powerful model in the compact ‘SANY’ range: exceptionally well-equipped as standard with an air-conditioned cab, a dozer blade and a 5-year components warranty – built for professional, full-time use in civil engineering and landscaping.
High-performance 3.8-tonne mini-excavator with air-conditioned cab and dozer blade for civil engineering and landscaping
- Civil engineering and sewer works: With a digging depth of 3,105 mm and a reach of 5,465 mm, the SY35U can handle even deeper trenches and larger excavations.
- Gardening and landscaping: Power and precision in one – the dozer blade assists with levelling and backfilling, whilst the air-conditioned cab ensures you can work with full concentration even in summer.
- Demolition and attachments: Proportional auxiliary control circuit with adjustable oil flow rate (up to 88 l/min) for hammers, grapples and other attachments.
- Continuous commercial use: Robust and straightforward, with a 5-year or 10,000 operating hours component warranty for planning certainty.
The three figures that matter
Operating weight around 3.85 t. In short: more weight means greater stability and digging force. The SY35U sits at the top end of the compact class and packs a correspondingly powerful punch – bucket breakout force 30.4 kN.
Digging depth 3,105 mm, reach 5,465 mm. A large working range that allows many tasks to be carried out without repositioning the machine – from deep utility trenches to wide excavations.
18.2 kW diesel engine, hydraulic system up to 88 l/min. The high-flow load-sensing hydraulic system ensures powerful yet precise movements – even when operating several functions simultaneously.
Standard equipment
- Enclosed cab with heating and manual air conditioning, suspension-mounted controls, large monitor
- Load-sensing hydraulic system, proportional auxiliary control circuit on the joystick, adjustable oil flow rate
- Dozer blade, cylinder protection on the arm
- 8 pre-set attachments, radio with speakers, 12 V socket, windscreen wipers with washer system
- LED work lights on the roof and boom, rotating beacon
- Automatic speed adjustment, two travel speeds, swing brake
- Rubber tracks, lashing eyes, battery disconnect switch, lockable hoods
- 5-year / 10,000 operating hours component warranty
What to look out for before buying
- Plan your transport. Weighing around 3.85 t, the SY35U requires a suitably approved trailer and a towing vehicle with sufficient towing capacity – it is heavier than the smaller models, but significantly more powerful.
- Match the attachments. Thanks to adjustable oil flow and an auxiliary control circuit, you can operate a hammer, grapple and similar attachments – ensure you select the correct weight class (around 3–4 tonnes).
- Application profile. If you regularly need to dig deeper and with greater force, the SY35U is a better choice than the smaller 1.8- or 2.6-tonne models; for very narrow access routes, however, a smaller model may be more suitable.
