Mechanically sound · cosmetic wear disclosed. Sourced from Hunan, China. 150-point inspection PDF + 80–120 photos available on inquiry.
We do not list specifications we have not personally cross-checked against the Sany SY485H OEM brochure for this exact variant. On your inquiry, we send the complete spec sheet (engine power / hydraulic flow / dimensions / dig reach / travel speed / fuel consumption) along with the 150-point inspection report.
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.

This is a 2018 Sany SY485H excavator with 6,300 hours, sourced from our yard in Hunan, China. Weighing 48 tons with a 2.3 m³ bucket, it is powered by a Cummins QSM11 engine. Grade B condition means it shows normal wear from heavy excavation work but remains fully operational. The machine has been inspected and serviced for export, with no major structural or mechanical issues. It is a reliable choice for large-scale earthmoving projects.
The Cummins QSM11 engine delivers 298 kW, providing strong power for demanding tasks. The 2.3 m³ bucket is suitable for rock and heavy soil. Operating weight is 48 tons, with a maximum digging depth of 7.1 m. Key components like the hydraulic pump, final drives, and swing motor show consistent performance. Undercarriage is estimated at 60-70% remaining life, with no excessive wear on tracks or rollers.
Grade B: The machine has visible cosmetic wear, including paint chipping and minor scratches. The engine starts reliably with no unusual smoke or noise. Hydraulic system functions smoothly, but there is slight leakage at some fittings. Bucket teeth and cutting edge show moderate wear and will need replacement soon. Overall, it is a solid workhorse with no hidden defects, ready for immediate deployment.
The Sany SY485H is a proven model in the 48-ton class, known for its fuel efficiency and durability. Parts are widely available across Africa, SE Asia, and the Middle East due to Sany's extensive dealer network. The Cummins engine is standard, simplifying maintenance. This machine fits well in large-scale mining, quarrying, and heavy infrastructure projects. Its competitive pricing and robust build make it a cost-effective alternative to Japanese or Korean excavators.
Ideal for heavy excavation, mining, and quarry operations. Particularly in demand in markets like Indonesia, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia, where large excavators are needed for coal, granite, and construction projects. Also suitable for infrastructure development in Latin America and CIS countries.
