SWE18UF

The Sunward SWE 18UF is a 4-pole canopy mini excavator built for small corners and tight working conditions. Its zero-tail chassis and expandable undercarriage (from 900 mm to 1 320 mm) allow it to reach the smallest spaces, allowing for precise movement even when the space is restricted. In case you need extra support, you can simply widen the undercarriage. With probably the longest arm in its class, allowing long-reach digging capacity, the SWE 18UF’s boom cylinder design provides a reach over 4 meters (4120 mm) long. With 3 separate auxiliary lines as standard (the market provides 1 to 2 lines), the SWE 18UF is ready for all types of attachments and can adapt to any job site.

Features & Benefits

POWERFUL & RELIABLE ENGINE

We chose the powerful Yanmar 3TNV80F-SSU engine featuring low fuel consumption, low noise and vibration levels, and high-altitude performance control, ensuring intensive work under severe environments. This 13.4 kW industrial diesel engine is both EPA Final Tier 4 and EU Stage V compliant, and its compact design means it can fulfill a variety of roles. The Yanmar engine perfectly matches the power of the hydraulic system, guaranteeing smooth operation. This engine perfectly fits our reliable and versatile Sunward SWE 18UF.

All key components in Sunward excavators are carefully selected, from 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 our Sunward SWE 18UF, because the hydraulics are often regarded as the heart of the machine, Sunward sources exclusively from the highest references in the market. For the SWE 18UF, we selected the Japanese premium brand NACHI as our leading hydraulic pump, traveling, and swing motor supplier. 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 SWE 18UF’s reliability.

The SWE 18UF’s extendable undercarriage – the track width can be extended from 990 mm to 1360 mm – provides sturdy stability, ensuring safe and comfortable operation in all kinds of job applications. The adjustable crawler track is ideal in confined areas or when greater stability is required.

For a compact machine, the SWE 18UF has exceptional digging forces of over 22.7 kN (bucket) and over 9.8 kN (arm), which easily rival the 2- tonne excavator competitors. And when it comes to its long-reach digging capacity, the SWE 18UF’s boom cylinder design provides a reach that’s over 4 meters (4120 mm) long.

A mini-excavator’s versatility starts with how well it is designed for transportation. The SWE 18UF does more than simply align with the EU’s transportation regulations – truly compact (990 mm width) and lightweight (1880 kg), it allows easy, safe, and secure transport. With an automatic slew lock and four easily accessed tie-down points on the lower frame, the machine can be safely transported on a small trailer with up to 3 buckets and a hydraulic breaker, while maintaining a total transport weight close to 2t. A wide range of attachments can be easily fitted to answer a variety of applications.

Sunward is your smartest investment in reliability, performance and high ROI. Indeed, the SWE 18UF’s expert design includes a well-thought-out selection of components that streamline operation and maintenance. Our design choices result in a machine that provides so many standard features, premium-brand key components, and capabilities at the right price.
Furthermore, Sunward’s genuine spare parts are economical as well – and all of this best value for money is crowned by up to 5 years of warranty, which is the standard for all Sunward products.
