South Africa’s Goscor Earthmoving Equipment (GEM) has welcomed the SANY SY210C-9 excavator into its range of small and large equipment for construction, mining, agriculture, sand and stone, forestry, roadworks, and plant hire sectors.
The 21 tonne machine features a six-cylinder in-line, water-cooled Cummins 6BT5.9-C140 engine, with a rated power of 140 hp (104 kW) at 2,000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 571 Nm at 1,300 rpm.
The engine is matched to the hydraulic system, thanks to the proprietary Dynamic Optimisation Matching Control System (DOMCS) developed by China’s SANY.
Andre Steenkamp, General Manager of the SANY range under GEM, said: “This advanced control system not only boosts operating efficiency by 6%, but furthermore slashes fuel consumption by 10%, which also goes a long way in reducing the total cost of ownership.”
The matched auto-idle speed function is designed for further increasing fuel efficiency, while ensuring maximum stability during idling for smooth operation, GEM, a SANY distributor, said.
“Variable working modes include heavy-duty, standard, light-duty, and break, which enhances the versatility of the excavator in different working environments.”
Additional “smart” features include an advanced GPRS monitoring system and machine alerts to allow for proactive monitoring of engine hours, fuel usage, and location history. The upgraded undercarriage has a unique X-shape structure for its lateral beams, providing extra strength and rigidity, excellent torsion, and bending resistance, according to the company.
SANY’s full range of plant and mining equipment includes excavators, graders, rigid dump trucks, wheel loaders, rollers, pavers, cranes, port machinery, pile driving and concrete pumps.
“The main differentiator for SANY in the local market is highly-competitive pricing for this global brand, supplemented by increased parts-holding and full in-field service and technical back-up through GEM’s national branch structure,” GEM said.
SANY’S equipment has been tailored to African operating conditions, focusing on “enhanced durability, fuel efficiency, user-friendliness, and reliability”.
