With the zero-tail chassis and the expandable undercarriage (from 39″ to 52″), you can get into the smallest spaces, allowing for precise movement, even when the space is restricted. And in case you need extra support, you can simply widen the undercarriage.

POWERFUL & RELIABLE ENGINE

All key components in Sunward excavators are carefully selected, from the Yanmar engine to hydraulics. Because hydraulics are often regarded as the heart of the machine, Sunward sources exclusively from the highest references in the market. For the SWE18UF, we selected NACHI to be our main supplier for the hydraulic pump, traveling, and swing motor. NACHI pumps and components for construction machinery are efficient, reliable, and space-saving. So, it’s no coincidence that Sunward selected them to contribute to the SWE18UF’s reliability.
