The conventional-tailswing excavator gets a new body design that is taller for increased cooling ability and serviceability, according to Adam Francis, Sany America product specialist, speaking at ConExpo 2026.
Along with a new body, the excavator gets Sany’s next-generation cab with 7-inch touchscreen display, rearview camera, pilot controls and eight-tool selection mode.
Sany also gave the seat 16 points of adjustability.

Other standard features include:
- Backfill blade.
- First and second auxiliary hydraulic lines.

The 17.5-ton excavator can also be equipped with bolt-on rubber pads to protect roads and other surfaces.
It runs on a 103.9-horsepower Isuzu engine, gets the same cab treatment as the other new excavators and a 16-point adjustable seat.
Other standard features include:

- Dual auxiliary circuits.
- Quick coupler plumbing to end of stick.
- 7-inch touchscreen display.

Sany SY235H
New cab for Sany SY235HSany America
It is made for utility and grading contractors for digging and material handling on large sites.
It gets a longer undercarriage for added stability. It also gets Sany’s new grade control system, which the company designed and produced in-house. Francis says the new system is compatible with base stations from the major aftermarket companies like Trimble and Leica Geosystems.
The new cab is equipped with a heated, air-ride seat that has 18 points of adjustability. The 10.1-inch display enables control of auxiliary hydraulic pressures and flow, as well as the second auxiliary pump for handling multifunction attachments like tiltrotators. Rearview and blindside cameras come standard.
It also comes standard with dual auxiliary lines, a rotate circuit, quick coupler, thumb and a 48-inch-wide bucket. The company says the excavator is ideal for trenching, sorting pipes and materials, loading trucks and handling debris. The hydraulic thumb can grab awkward loads like boulders or culvert sections, the company says.
