The SANY SY215C-8 is one of the best-selling models among domestic excavators and enjoys a high reputation in the market. In this article, we share the experience of Mr. Gao, a seasoned user from Liaoning Province (Member OO8), who has been using this model for his business. This report serves as a representative feedback of the SANY SY215C-8, a widely popular model in the domestic excavator market.
1. User Background
Mr. Gao, born in the 1970s, is from Liaoyang, Liaoning. He is a seasoned construction machinery user with extensive experience. Five years ago, he entered the construction machinery rental business and previously purchased a Longgong ZL50C and a XGMA 951 loader. The SANY SY215C-8 is the first excavator he bought for his own use. Mr. Gao conducted extensive research before choosing this model and found it to be the best option for his needs.
2. Purchase Information
In April 2010, Mr. Gao purchased the SANY SY215C-8 through financing lease from the SANY dealer, Sanjun Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., in Liaoning. The total price was 840,000 RMB, with a 240,000 RMB down payment and the remainder financed over 24 months, with monthly payments of 29,000 RMB. As part of the deal, he received 10,000 RMB worth of free accessories. Before making the final decision, Mr. Gao considered several models, including the Hyundai R215-9, Doosan DH225LC-7, and SANY SY215C-8. After a thorough comparison, he chose the SY215C-8 for its superior configuration, including the fully imported Mitsubishi engine and Japanese Kawasaki hydraulic components.
3. Operator Situation
The operator of the SANY SY215C-8 is a young local man from the 1980s who is responsible for both the maintenance and operation of the machine. He is experienced and ensures proper care and operation of the excavator.
4. Work Conditions
After purchasing the machine, Mr. Gao initially used the excavator for around 100 hours of scattered work at home. The machine was then moved to a high-speed railway construction site managed by China Railway 19th Bureau, where it has been used for digging foundation piles and land leveling. The work environment mainly involves soft soil and earthworks.
5. Work Efficiency
The SANY SY215C-8 is praised for its speed and efficiency in the field. Mr. Gao noted that compared to other machines on the same site, such as the Komatsu PC220-8 and Doosan DH225LC-7, the SY215C-8 is slightly faster and more responsive, which makes it popular with the on-site team.
6. Fuel Consumption
Fuel consumption for the SY215C-8 is relatively low for its class. When operating at 7 throttle levels, the fuel consumption is between 12-14 liters per hour. When working at full throttle (10 levels), fuel consumption rises to around 18 liters per hour. Overall, the fuel efficiency of the SY215C-8 is competitive compared to similar models in its category, making it a cost-effective choice for operators.
7. Product Performance and Issues
Engine:
The engine has been running smoothly for over 1400 hours without any issues. The only downside noted by Mr. Gao is the engine noise, which is louder than that of the Doosan DH225LC-7, especially when working alongside it.
Hydraulic System:
The hydraulic system has not encountered any problems and continues to perform reliably.
Other Issues:
The only issue Mr. Gao has faced is an accident where the air conditioning condenser was damaged by the operator. This was a minor incident and Mr. Gao managed to repair it himself. Overall, the machine has had no major mechanical failures or quality issues, with over 1400 hours of use.
8. Dealer and Service
Mr. Gao is very satisfied with the service provided by SANY’s local dealer, Sanjun Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. He has found their response times to be fast and their service support reliable. In his own words, “The service is quick, and they respond to any inquiries promptly.”
9. Spare Parts and Maintenance
Mr. Gao mentioned that he has mostly dealt with maintenance parts, which are relatively expensive. While the parts are of high quality, especially considering the imported Japanese components, he expressed a desire for slightly lower prices to help reduce operating costs for users.
10. Conclusion
Overall, Mr. Gao is highly satisfied with the performance of the SANY SY215C-8. Since its purchase, the excavator has performed well without any major failures related to the machine's quality. It is particularly well-suited for earthworks, offering excellent fuel efficiency and fast operation. The service from the dealer has also been commendable, providing a solid support system for the machine. Mr. Gao is optimistic about the next few thousand hours of operation, hoping the excavator will continue to perform well and generate profits for his business.
