Sunward’s new SWE155W wheeled excavator offers versatility

Sunward is introducing an array of versatile new construction machines, with a key launch being for the new SWE155FW wheeled excavator.

This marks a major departure for the Chinese firm, which has previously focussed on selling its compact machines in Europe. At the same time, Sunward is also extending its range of mini excavators with the introduction of the battery electric SWE10FED and SWE60VFED models.

The SWE155FW wheeled excavator is powered by a Cummins QSF3.8 diesel that meets Stage 5 requirements. It is available with either one piece or two piece booms and features two stabilisers at the rear and a dozer blade at the front. Working weight ranges from 15-17tonnes, depending on the specification and various options selected.

Meanwhile the new SWE10FED is a 1tonne mini excavator while the SWE60VFED is a short tailswing 6tonner. Both are designed for use in low emission zones or underground operations and benefit from Sunward’s pioneering experience with electrification.
