It can rotate freely without hitting surrounding buildings or obstacles, ensuring smooth and efficient operation even in the most restricted working conditions.
Powered by an original Kubota V2607 four-cylinder water-cooled engine, the machine delivers 36kW rated power at 2000rpm, featuring strong torque, stable idling, low noise and low vibration. Fully compliant with Euro V and China IV emission rules, it offers outstanding fuel economy, reduces long-term operating costs, and ensures reliable performance under heavy-duty, continuous workloads.
Equipped with advanced load-sensing hydraulic system and constant power control, the SY55U provides fast response, seamless combined movements and precise control.

Its intuitive operation suits both novice and experienced operators.
The ROPS/FOPS certified cab features a reinforced steel structure for superior safety and impact resistance. It comes with a shock-absorbing suspension seat, automotive-grade air conditioning, low-noise design and wide-field visibility, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. Standard safety equipment includes seat belt, emergency stop, pilot lock and rearview mirrors for all-around protection.
The boom and arm are made of thickened high-strength steel with full welding reinforcement, resisting impact and fatigue for harsh working conditions. Wear-resistant track plates deliver low ground pressure, ensuring stable performance on soft and muddy terrain.
