What our users say
Gică
My company already acquired 4 pieces of Sunward equipment, the first one was a 2-tons mini excavator acquired in 2018. It is extremely user-friendly, easy to handle and operate. We are very happy with its capabilities. It convinced us to buy 3 other pieces of Sunward equipment. The machines are easy to handle and operate. We asked for high-performance machinery and this is exactly what we got.
Michel
I received my new Sunward SWE 90UF in summer 2021. I have experience with similar machines from other top brands, and this one is efficient and powerful. From lifting big weight to digging the ground for housing or loading a 30-ton trailer, operations are fast and smooth. The biggest asset is the power, the ability to work in tight conditions, and the low cost of ownership. What I also appreciate is that it is quiet. I am very satisfied with my purchase of a Sunward excavator.
