NEW EQUIPMENT NEWS Goscor Earth Moving (GEM), part of the Goscor Group, is continuing its introduction of the latest Sany equipment into the local market with the launch of a new hydraulic excavator for the toughest African operating conditions. According to GEM general manager Andre Steenkamp, the SY215C hydraulic excavator is one of five models developed by Sany specifically for the international market. It is equipped with an Isuzu AM-4HK1X Stage IIIA four-cylinder, four-stroke common rail diesel engine, which features a variable geometric turbocharger, intercooler, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and high-precision diesel particle diffuser (DPD). The positive flow controlled hydraulic system ensures that the main pump’s displacement is directly proportional to the signal pressure from the operator’s joystick, allowing the controller to determine the actuator’s real-time flow demand and variation trend, in addition to regulating the displacement. With a 0.93m 3 bucket capacity, a ground pressure of GEM introduces Sany SY215C hydraulic excavator The SY215C hydraulic excavator is one of five models developed specifically by Sany for the international market. 47kPa, an operating weight of 22 200kg, and 2 000rpm, the SY215C hydraulic excavator has been developed and designed to perform in the most arduous working conditions. An X-beam design, based on a box-section structure with high strength and durability, provides excellent torsion- and bending- resistance. The track rollers, carrier rollers, and idlers all use seal-in lubrication for improved longevity, and the triple grouser track shoes, rolled with a high- strength alloy, provide excellent contact, stability, and durability. The track links also feature additional reinforced ribs for increased strength and shock absorption when travelling over rough surfaces. The SY215C hydraulic excavator has a totally redesigned boom and arm structure that minimises stress points. Comfort and operator safety are also key, in addition to simplified maintenance and service to reduce time and costs, allowing for the lowest total cost of ownership for end users. GEM offers Sany excavators, motor graders, and rollers for the construction, mining, agriculture, sand and stone, forestry, roadworks, and plant hire sectors. ■ The SY215C hydraulic excavator has a totally redesigned boom and arm structure that minimises stress points.
