Sany in for the Long Haul

A pair of Sany 20-tonne class excavators purchased by White Skip Hire 5 years ago have amassed in excess of 16,000 operational hours and are still going strong.

One thing we hear on social media all the time from commenters is that Chinese kit won’t last or that its throw away gear, however, that’s certainly not been the case for Neil Richardson the owner of Dagenham based White Skip Hire, who initially started out hiring the Sany SY215C’s before deciding to purchase them from the hire company as they proved to be so reliable.
