When H&S Contractors were awarded the job of extracting sand from the Nepicar Sand Quarry in Kent they knew they would need something a little bigger than they had available in their extensive fleet, and they had no hesitation in opting for a new SANY SY500H; at 50 tonnes, it is a beast of a machine that has been proving itself for the last couple of months.   It’s a hard type of sand in the quarry and nothing less would have been up to the task of digging it out before it is loaded on to dump trucks to…

When digger operator Alan Mayman was told he was getting a new excavator, he didn’t know what to expect when he arrived on site that morning, and when he discovered it was a SANY SY500H, he still didn’t know what to make of it as he was not in the least familiar with the brand.   But as he has told Awesome Earthmovers, he has been thoroughly impressed by its performance, by its power and by its build quality. “It’s a nice smooth machine, with plenty of power, has a great comfortable cab that is well insulated to keep out…

It was B&B Tractors who was one of the first SANY dealers to put out the upgraded SY215C Stage V engine excavator to a UK Customer.   The excavator has been delivered to local recycling contractor Midlands Landfill who has replaced an 18-tonne machine with the SANY. Primarily used to load a mobile crusher or screener, the smaller SANY has been reported to be nimbler and more capable whilst delivering lower fuel consumption and increased cab comforts over its predecessor.   “We took a Stage VI machine in demonstration for a short period of time.” Explains quarry Foreman Lee Jacks;…

Established 10 years ago, ReCon Waste, headed up by Managing Director Daniel Connolly, not only processes and recycles waste materials, but also focuses on the construction and agricultural sectors and operates a mixed fleet of machinery.   The two new machines – a 16-tonne SY155U short-tail-swing and a 21-tonne SY215C – are the first SANY excavators in the ReCon fleet and Daniel says won’t be the last as his operators have been, in his words, ‘blown away’ by their driveability, performance and comfort.   Investing in the SANY excavators wasn’t a decision the company took lightly. “We shopped around for…

Field & Forest Machinery is a well established equipment supplier, specialising in machinery and attachments for the arboricultural industry throughout the UK.  After supplying a customer with some forestry attachments for a SANY SY26U, Tom Brown of Field & Forest was so impressed by the 2.6t mini digger, he bought one himself.   "I could not believe how well built the SANY excavator was and then saw how well it performed with the forestry attachments I supplied" commented Tom. "I had a requirement for a 2.6t machine to add to my hire fleet and have not been disappointed by the…

Migdale Building is a building contractor based in the beautiful town of Bonar Bridge, nestled in the heart of Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. Owner, Robert Sawyer, decided earlier this year that he required a new 2.7t mini excavator to add to his business in order to meet busy work load demands. After reviewing the market for many months, Robert decided on a SANY SY26U and has not been disappointed!   'I spent some considerable time reviewing the mini digger market and decided on SANY because they offered the best value for money when it came to specification and components'…
