Light Mining and Quarrying Machines Built for Demanding Environments

In mining and quarrying, you do not get second chances. The conditions are rough, the cycles are long and everything is heavier—from the material you are moving to the expectations on your machines. Whether you are loading shot rock, managing overburden, working in tight benches or breaking down material for haul-off, you need machines that deliver raw power, hydraulic control and the structural integrity to last.

SANY’s heavy-duty excavators, the SY385, SY500 and SY750, are built for exactly that. These are not scaled-up versions of construction models. They are engineered with reinforcements, oversized components, and heavy steel construction to handle nonstop abuse in mining and quarry environments.

The SY385 is a proven fit for small operations, aggregate yards and bench-level stripping. It delivers breakout force and lifting capacity that smaller production machines cannot match. The SY500 raises the bar with additional horsepower, larger hydraulics and counterweight flexibility for contractors who need more capacity. And for deep benches or large-volume movement, the SY750 provides serious digging force, high-capacity buckets and the strength to handle repetitive heavy hits.

Flexibility is built into the lineup. Both the SY500 and SY750 are available in long stick or mass excavation configurations, allowing operators to prioritize reach or breakout force depending on the site and material.

Hydraulics are another standout. These machines come with powerful auxiliary systems, dual auxiliary circuits, a case drain and full quick coupler plumbing from the factory. Combined flow options maximize attachment performance, while in-cab adjustments for flow and pressure let operators fine-tune their setup. Whether you are running hammers, crushers or rippers, SANY machines are ready to go to work without modification.

Transportability matters too. The SY500 and SY750 are equipped with removable counterweights for easier transport across state lines or between pits without extra permits or breakdown.

Operator experience is not overlooked. Each model includes a spacious, sealed cab with HVAC, air-suspension seating and intuitive controls. FOPS guarding is available, and rearview cameras are standard. Select models feature rearview and blindside cameras for added awareness in loading zones or crowded quarry floors.

And like every SANY, these machines are backed by full steel construction, reinforced frames, high-output Cummins engines and a 5-year 5,000-hour warranty. Narrow track options are also available for jobs that demand lower ground friction and tighter maneuverability.

For contractors who need breakout force, auxiliary power, operator protection and long-life durability, SANY’s mining and quarrying excavators are ready to perform.
