Used SANY SY245C Excavator for Sale

This used SANY SY245C excavator is a tracked hydraulic machine identified by the SY245C badge visible in the supplied inventory photographs. It is listed at US$28,000; the catalogue marks availability as in stock, and the listing shows 800 operating hours. The photos show a standard-boom crawler excavator, its cab, exterior body, and undercarriage. Confirm the machine’s serial/PIN, engine plate, actual configuration, hour-meter reading, and present availability before placing an order. The public SANY specification source found for the related SY245C-9LR is for a long-reach version; its specifications must not be assumed to describe this pictured standard-boom unit.

The SY245C designation places the machine in the medium crawler-excavator class, commonly considered for bulk earthmoving, road construction, drainage, utility work, foundations, and quarry support. The exact operating mass, engine model, rated power, bucket size, boom-and-stick combination, and emissions configuration depend on the specific SY245C generation and market. This listing intentionally separates confirmed listing facts from details that still need machine-level verification. Buyers receive a more reliable basis for comparison when a seller supplies serial-specific evidence instead of applying a specification from a different model suffix.

The lead photograph is a rear-quarter view showing the SY245C model badge, cab, upper structure, and crawler tracks. The remaining supplied images add a side view, another exterior angle, the operator cab, and a close view of the machine body and model marking. Images are useful for identifying visible configuration and planning inspection questions, but they cannot establish internal condition, service history, engine variant, true operating hours, ownership, or export eligibility. Request new photographs and a walk-around video tied to the serial/PIN before relying on the listing for a purchase decision.

Listing facts and specification status

The asking price is US$28,000 for the listed machine. It is a machine-only listing price, not a confirmed landed price. Shipping, insurance, port handling, customs duties, local taxes, inland delivery, and any agreed repairs or attachments should be separately itemized in a written quotation. The catalogue lists this record as in stock at the time of publication; ask HMP to reconfirm that this exact SY245C has not been sold or reserved before arranging travel, inspection, or payment.

The listing displays 800 hours, a value selected within the requested 500–1,200-hour range. It is not presented as an independently audited meter reading. Ask for a current close-up of the hour meter with the machine powered on, a video that shows the reading, and maintenance or electronic records that can be matched to the same serial/PIN. Compare the stated hours with service entries and component wear. If the meter has been replaced, repaired, or reset, request a written explanation and supporting documentation.

For operating weight, engine, power, bucket capacity, and emissions data, the correct reference is the serial-specific SANY record for the exact product generation and market. SANY’s public India page for the SY245C-9LR lists that long-reach model at 24,150 kg with a Cummins engine and 140 hp at 2,000 rpm, but that is a different long-reach configuration. Those figures are included here only to explain why the suffix and equipment package matter; they are not asserted as specifications of the excavator pictured in this listing. HMP should verify the standard-boom machine’s data plate and provide the corresponding brochure or serial record before a buyer treats any technical figure as confirmed.

That distinction is commercially important. A similar model name does not guarantee an identical engine, rated output, bucket, front attachment, operating weight, hydraulic setup, or emissions label. Regional regulations and production updates can result in different combinations. Buyers comparing a used SY245C with another 23–25 tonne excavator should normalize these fields from primary documents, then compare condition, equipment, service access, and shipping costs. A clear “to be confirmed” field is safer than a confident but mismatched specification.

Who should consider a used SY245C?

A medium crawler excavator may suit contractors who need a larger digging platform than a compact excavator while retaining a transportable tracked base. Potential applications include building foundations, road cuts, drainage channels, trenching, site preparation, material loading, and selected quarry tasks. Actual suitability depends on working radius, required depth, ground bearing conditions, attachment, haul-truck height, daily production target, and local access. The photos show a conventional bucket and standard-boom arrangement, but the included bucket and complete attachment list should be confirmed in the sales contract.

For a road or infrastructure project, estimate excavation volume, material type, trench dimensions, travel distance on site, and the number of trucks available. For utility work, account for buried services and the project’s safe-dig procedures. For a quarry or aggregate yard, assess abrasive wear, bucket tooth condition, undercarriage life, loading geometry, and whether extra guarding is required. For foundation work, compare the machine’s actual reach and digging depth with the engineering plan. Do not select equipment using tonnage or model name alone; the attachment and job conditions determine whether a configuration is appropriate.

When assessing a used excavator for sale, evaluate total cost of ownership rather than the headline price by itself. Consider the inspection outcome, parts availability, technician familiarity, expected wear-item replacement, fuel and hydraulic-system condition, inland transport, export preparation, freight, insurance, and import taxes. A machine priced at US$28,000 may be attractive if the condition and documentation suit the buyer, but the number should not be treated as a guarantee of operating readiness. The buyer should set a repair allowance and compare the delivered cost against alternatives of the same size and condition.

The SY245C may also be compared against SANY SY235C and SY235H listings, or against comparable machines from other manufacturers. Ensure that each comparison uses the correct model suffix, year or generation where documented, operating weight, engine configuration, bucket, hours, and condition evidence. A difference of a few tonnes or a different boom package can affect transport planning and job performance. Ask each supplier to confirm what the quoted machine includes and what evidence supports its claims.

Unit-specific inspection checklist

Begin with identity and paperwork. Photograph the product identification plate in context and record the serial/PIN exactly as displayed. Match it against the invoice, inspection report, ownership evidence, service records, and export documents. Ask for a legible engine plate and confirm which engine is installed. The SY245C model name alone is not enough to establish an engine variant. If the plate is missing, unreadable, or inconsistent with the documents, pause the purchase until the discrepancy is resolved in writing.

Inspect the engine from a cold start where possible. Request a continuous video that begins before start-up and includes the dashboard, exhaust, engine bay, and a safe operating demonstration. Ask whether warning lights remain on, whether there is abnormal smoke after warm-up, whether oil or coolant leaks are visible, and whether the machine has a documented service history. Check belts, hoses, wiring, filters, and accessible fluid condition during a professional inspection. A video can help with remote screening, but it cannot replace an agreed in-person or independent technical inspection.

Evaluate the hydraulic system through controlled operation of the boom, stick, bucket, swing, and travel functions. Ask the operator to demonstrate both travel directions and combined movements under safe conditions. An inspector should note response, drift, unusual noise, temperature, visible leaks, and any functions not tested. Check cylinders and rods for scoring or leakage and inspect hoses and fittings for damage. Do not infer that a machine is mechanically sound from a photograph of clean paint or from a short idle clip.

Review the front attachment and frame for cracks, weld repairs, deformation, excessive pin play, and grease condition. Examine the boom foot, stick, bucket linkage, quick coupler if fitted, swing-bearing area, counterweight, and main structure. Ask which attachments are included in the US$28,000 price and have each item listed by name and condition. If a bucket is shown, confirm that the exact bucket in the photos will be delivered. Record missing teeth, worn cutting edges, damaged hoses, or attachment changes in the inspection report and quotation.

Measure undercarriage wear rather than relying only on a general description. Request track-chain pitch or wear measurements, shoe condition, roller and idler condition, sprocket wear, tension, and an assessment of leakage. Inspect both sides for uneven wear, missing fasteners, damaged guards, or non-matching parts. Undercarriage repairs can be a major expense on a crawler excavator, and the remaining service life affects the buyer’s real acquisition cost. If photographs are used, ask for close views of both sides and key components with a measurement reference where practical.

Check the cab and operator controls: seat, seat belt, joysticks, pedals, monitor, switches, mirrors, cameras if fitted, lights, horn, wipers, air conditioning, glass, door latches, access steps, and safety devices. The supplied cab image shows the visible interior, but protective wrapping and a still photograph do not confirm that controls or accessories operate. Add each material defect or item not tested to the inspection notes. Buyers with local compliance requirements should confirm the required safety equipment and any modifications before shipment.

Finally, conduct a document and condition review together. The serial/PIN on the machine should match the serial on the seller’s documents and inspection evidence. The reported hours should be supported by a readable meter image and any available records. Engine and configuration claims should agree with the identification plates. Capture the date of inspection, test conditions, and limitations. If the buyer cannot travel, consider an independent inspector who agrees in advance to a written scope, photo set, test procedure, and report format.

Price, availability, and export quotation

This used SANY SY245C is listed at US$28,000 and marked as in stock in the catalogue. The price and availability should be reconfirmed for the exact unit before any deposit or travel. Ask for a pro forma invoice that states the model designation, serial/PIN, included bucket and attachments, stated hours, inspection status, machine-only price, payment schedule, delivery point, and validity period. Clarify any repairs or preparation work that are included, and document responsibility if the inspection reveals a material difference from the agreed description.

Request separate FOB, CFR, or CIF prices to a named destination port if export shipping is required. The written offer should identify the loading port, freight validity, insurance scope, expected cargo preparation, and charges excluded at destination. CIF typically includes the agreed cost, insurance, and freight to the named port, but destination handling, duties, taxes, customs clearance, and inland delivery may remain payable. Ask a licensed freight forwarder for a current route-specific estimate and consult a customs broker about used-equipment import rules, emissions requirements, inspection requirements, and paperwork in the buyer’s country.

Because the machine’s exact dimensions, weight, boom arrangement, and shipping configuration are not confirmed by this listing, transport planning must use measurements from the actual excavator. Ask the seller and forwarder to establish lifting points, securing method, loading equipment, and whether the boom, bucket, or another component needs to be removed. Do not assume the unit can travel in a standard container or use a generic freight estimate. The suitable method and final cost depend on the machine as configured, port facilities, vessel availability, route, and destination access.

Before dispatch, compare loading photographs and the signed inspection record with the contract. Record the serial/PIN, included attachments, visible condition, meter reading, and any agreed repair. Retain the invoice, packing list, inspection report, payment proof, shipping instructions, and transport documents. Payment instructions should be independently verified through a known contact channel. A buyer should avoid sending funds based only on a message thread or an unsigned quotation, especially if bank details change late in the process.

How to request a useful quote

When contacting HMP, include your destination country and port, intended application, required bucket or attachment, preferred inspection method, and whether you need FOB, CFR, or CIF pricing. Ask for the exact unit’s serial/PIN, a fresh meter photo, engine plate image, machine dimensions, included equipment, and current availability. Specific questions help the seller respond with evidence tied to this SANY SY245C rather than a generic specification sheet.

Buyers should also specify their purchase timeline and whether an independent inspection is a condition of the order. Ask for clear answers about machine location, loading, export documents, payment milestones, and what happens if the inspection identifies a significant mismatch. A precise scope reduces the risk of misunderstanding and gives both parties a record of the agreed facts. Do not treat a preliminary online listing as a final purchase contract; the signed commercial documents govern the transaction.
