SANY SY215EP
Pros
- Strong productivity & performance – Good digging forces and digging depth for medium jobs.
- Competitive price point – Often lower on-road price vs competitors in some markets
- Comfortable cabin & controls (on many variants) – operator comfort features common.
LiuGong 921 Di
Pros
- Offers respectable digging depth (~5.9 m) and horizontal reach (~9.2 m), making it suitable for medium‑sized construction and earthmoving tasks like trenching, foundation work, and site prep.
- The boom and reach balance enables both digging and loading without needing heavy long‑reach modifications.
- Compared with heavier or lighter models, the 921Di’s boom reach fits well in the 20‑22 t excavator segment
