Service-ready · no immediate repairs needed. Sourced from Hunan, China. 150-point inspection PDF + 80–120 photos available on inquiry.
Below are manufacturer-published nominal specifications. Actual measured values for this unit are in the inspection report. We verify all critical values against the machine on inspection.
We grade by measured fact, not by hope. The bars show our inspector's estimate of remaining service life per major system. Detailed wear photos and OEM-tool readouts are in the inspection report.
The timeline below traces this unit’s known service events. Where source-yard records are incomplete, we reconstruct typical service intervals based on hour count — and disclose this transparently.
First major service interval — engine oil, hydraulic filter, fuel filter replacement.
Mid-life service — coolant flush, final drive oil, swing gear lubrication.
Routine service — air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, hydraulic oil sample analysis.
ExcaYard 150-point pre-export inspection — engine compression, hydraulic cycle test, undercarriage measurement, ECM data extraction.
The 150-point inspection report is the primary trust document for this purchase. It is shared as a PDF on inquiry — no registration, no gated download. Major findings, wear measurements, ECM screenshots, and the grading decision are all visible.
Some exporters quote low CIF then add discovery fees, doc fees, handling fees, lashing surcharges. Our CIF is the total — only port-side destination charges (controlled by your local broker, not us) are extra.

2020 Sany SY215C with just 3,200 hours — a near-new domestic Chinese unit sourced from a contractor in Hunan province. Low hours, Mitsubishi-licensed engine, and Sany's modern hydraulic platform make this an excellent value-class option in the 20-ton segment.
Mitsubishi 6D34 licensed engine, 1.0m³ bucket, 21T operating weight, Kawasaki main hydraulic pump. Undercarriage approximately 85% remaining. Original cabin glass and seat. Service intervals all up to date.
Grade A. With only 3,200 hours the machine is well within its first service life. Engine compression strong, hydraulics tight, no leaks. Cosmetic condition excellent. The most cost-effective Grade A 20T machine in our current stock.
Chinese brands like Sany have closed the quality gap dramatically in the last 5 years. The SY215C uses imported components (Mitsubishi engine, Kawasaki pumps) on a domestically-built chassis — combining international powertrain reliability with China-price economics. Ideal for cost-conscious buyers in emerging markets.
Africa (Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt) and Central Asia where price-to-performance matters more than brand prestige. Also strong in Russia where Chinese brands have rapidly displaced sanctioned Western machines.
Container shipping (40HQ with arm removed) is the most economical method. FOB Shanghai or Guangzhou available. Transit to Lagos 28-32 days, Vladivostok 8-10 days, Mombasa 22-25 days.
Modern Sany, XCMG, and SDLG machines use internationally-sourced critical components (engine, hydraulics) on Chinese-built chassis. With proper maintenance, expected service life is now comparable to Japanese brands at 60-70% of the price point.
Sany has dealer presence in 150+ countries. For markets without local dealers, we can package essential spare parts with the machine shipment at cost.
Lower than Cat/Komatsu but improving. Best value retention is in markets with established Chinese dealer networks (Russia, Africa, Southeast Asia).
