Brand: SUMITOMO Construction Machinery – A Japanese heavy equipment manufacturer with over 120 years of engineering heritage, renowned for precision manufacturing, long service life, and reliable performance in compact construction equipment. Sumitomo excavators are trusted by small-scale contractors, municipal engineering teams, and agricultural operators across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa for their adaptability to narrow job sites.
Model: SUMITOMO SH60-2 – A classic 6-ton mini hydraulic excavator, optimized for small-scale earthmoving, landscaping, and indoor demolition tasks. Equipped with a Mitsubishi S4L2 diesel engine and a high-efficiency hydraulic system, it balances compact maneuverability, powerful digging force, and low operational costs, ideal for urban renovation, garden construction, and farmland water conservancy projects.
- Operating Weight: 5,800kg
- Engine: Mitsubishi S4L2 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine; rated power 29.4kW (40HP) @ 2,600rpm; peak torque 110N·m @ 1,800rpm; compliant with Tier 2 emission standards (perfect for emerging markets)
- Working Device: Standard 0.21m³ bucket (high manganese steel wear-resistant design); maximum digging depth 3,500mm; maximum digging radius 5,900mm; maximum dumping height 4,200mm; bucket digging force 43kN; arm digging force 30kN
- Hydraulic System: Open-center hydraulic system with load sensing; working pressure 24.5MPa; main pump displacement 2×37cc/rev; swing speed 12rpm; travel speed (low/high): 2.5/4.5km/h
- Undercarriage: Retractable track design; track shoe width 400mm (extended) / 280mm (retracted); track ground contact length 1,600mm; ground pressure 28kPa (low ground pressure for soft soil operation)
- Operator Cab: ROPS/FOPS certified; compact ergonomic design; adjustable seat; manual throttle control; optional canopy for outdoor use or enclosed cab with air conditioning
- Fuel & Fluid Capacities: Fuel tank 70L; hydraulic oil tank 50L; engine oil capacity 5.5L; coolant capacity 8L
- Retractable Undercarriage: The track width can be adjusted from 400mm (extended for stability) to 280mm (retracted for narrow spaces), enabling easy passage through 300mm-wide doorways, alleys, and between buildings—ideal for urban indoor demolition and backyard construction tasks.
- Minimum Turning Radius: 2.1m (inner radius) allows 360° rotation in tight spaces without additional space for maneuvering, reducing the need for manual labor and improving work efficiency.
- Lightweight Design: 5.8-ton operating weight can be transported by a light-duty truck, eliminating the need for heavy haulage vehicles and cutting logistics costs by 30% compared to larger excavators.
- Mitsubishi S4L2 Engine: A proven power unit with low vibration, low noise, and excellent cold-start performance (operational at -10°C). The engine’s simple structure reduces maintenance complexity, making it suitable for operators in remote areas with limited technical support.
- High Digging Force for 6-Ton Class: 43kN bucket digging force easily handles hard soil, small stones, and compacted gravel, meeting the needs of small-scale foundation excavation and trench digging. The 0.21m³ bucket capacity balances efficiency and fuel consumption for daily operations.
- Synchronized Hydraulic Control: The load-sensing hydraulic system ensures precise coordination of boom, arm, and bucket movements, reducing cycle time by 10% compared to conventional mini excavators. Smooth operation minimizes damage to surrounding structures in urban renovation projects.
- Ergonomic Cab Design: The compact cab features an adjustable seat and centralized control layout, adapting to operators of different heights. The large-view front window and side mirrors provide excellent visibility, ensuring safe operation in crowded environments.
- Comprehensive Safety Features: ROPS/FOPS certified cab protects the operator from falling objects and rollover risks; the emergency stop button is within easy reach; the retractable track design enhances stability during lifting operations; the low ground pressure prevents sinking in soft soil such as paddy fields and wetlands.
- Low Noise Operation: The engine and hydraulic system are optimized for low noise, with an operating noise level of ≤75dB(A), making it suitable for residential area construction and indoor work without disturbing surrounding residents.
- Heavy-Duty Structural Components: The boom and arm are welded with high-strength steel plates; critical stress points are reinforced with additional steel to withstand long-term vibration and impact. The bucket is equipped with replaceable wear teeth, extending service life by 25% under heavy use.
- Easy Maintenance Access: All service points (engine oil filter, fuel filter, hydraulic oil filter) are located at the rear of the machine, accessible without disassembling other components. The engine hood opens fully for easy inspection and maintenance. Maintenance intervals are extended to 500 hours, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- Global Parts Support: Sumitomo’s authorized service centers and parts distributors in key markets (Singapore, Dubai, Bangkok) provide quick access to common spare parts (filters, bucket teeth, hydraulic hoses) with delivery within 5-10 days. The Mitsubishi engine’s global popularity ensures easy access to replacement parts even in remote areas.
- Urban Municipal Engineering: Trench digging for water, electricity, and gas pipeline laying; sidewalk renovation; small-scale demolition of old buildings; and road maintenance.
- Landscaping & Garden Construction: Excavating fish ponds, flower beds, and artificial lakes; transplanting large trees; and leveling terrain for golf courses and residential gardens.
- Agricultural & Rural Projects: Farmland irrigation canal digging; greenhouse foundation construction; orchard land leveling; and small-scale reservoir cleaning.
- Indoor & Narrow Space Work: Basement excavation for small buildings; indoor demolition of commercial spaces; and construction work in shopping malls and factories.
- Customization Options: Optional enclosed cab with air conditioning, hydraulic thumb for material grabbing, breaker attachment for demolition work, and multilingual operation manuals (English/Arabic/Bahasa Indonesia).
- Inspection & Certification: Pre-shipment SGS/BV third-party inspection; provision of Certificate of Origin (CO), CE certification, emission compliance reports, and customs clearance documents tailored to target markets.
- Warranty & Training: 1-year global warranty for core components (engine, hydraulic system, undercarriage); free on-site operator training covering safe operation, daily maintenance, and basic fault diagnosis in local languages.
- Spare Parts Supply: Consignment stock service for bulk buyers (small-scale contractor fleets); 24/7 online technical support via WhatsApp/email for remote troubleshooting.
