The SANY mini excavator, flexible for tunnel construction
Underground tunnel construction has strict requirements that the construction equipment should be small and flexible enough to rotate and move through narrow spaces. SANY’s latest mini excavators, the SY16C and SY35U, are specially designed for working in confined spaces, which are perfect for the requirements of tunnel construction. That’s why SANY mini excavators are loved and recommended by tunnel builders.
Zero tail swing design ensures flexibility
A couple of SANY mini excavators were used in tunnel construction in Australia. Samuel, the chief builder of the tunnel, highly praised the SY35U’s performance. “This mini excavator is well suited to confined underground construction sites that only small-sized machines can get into and work in. The SY35U has no tail which allows it to swing freely in any direction so that the operator can work without reversing the machine… If the right track is near the wall, it is helpful for the operator to be able to swing the excavator left to stop it from hitting the wall.” Samuel said that SY35U’s flexibility greatly improves construction efficiency and helps you get ahead of schedule.
