Release time: 2026-11-02
SANY's small and mid excavators — SY75, SY95, SY135 and SY155 — give contractors Chinese-brand value with modern hydraulics and low hours from Shanghai yards. They sit below the well-known SY215 and cover village roads, irrigation, building sites and light quarry work across Africa and South America. This guide compares the four sizes, lists what to check on video, and explains how to buy a used SANY SY75, SY95, SY135 or SY155 excavator from China.

Shipping from Shanghai
SY75 and SY95 units often fit an open-top container with the bucket removed; SY135 and SY155 usually go on a flat rack or by RoRo. Ask for FOB Shanghai and CIF to your port, and check local import age limits with your broker. Parts availability for SANY is strong in many African and Latin American markets, which keeps downtime low after arrival. See our Africa import guide and Latin America guide.
