    Common questions

    How much does the SANY SY26U weigh?

    Operating weight: 6,085 lb (2,760 kg). Single published value (cab/canopy not specified). Buckets, attachments and options add weight, so check the serial plate.

    How big is the SANY SY26U?

    Transport length 14 ft 1 in, transport width 5 ft 1 in, transport height 8 ft.

    What trailer do I need to haul a SANY SY26U?

    One with a payload rating above 6,085 lb plus the weight of any buckets and attachments. At 8 ft tall it stays under 13 ft 6 in on a typical 60 in flatbed deck.

    Do I need a CDL to haul a SANY SY26U?

    Not necessarily. A Class A CDL is required for commercial driving when the combined GVWR is 26,001 lb or more and the trailer is rated over 10,000 lb. A 6,085 lb machine can often go on a trailer rated 10,000 lb or less, but check the trailer’s rating and your state’s rules.
