Sumitomo SH145X Small Excavator

The Sumitomo SH145X is a compact-radius excavator in the 14-15 tonne class that’s been designed to be super productive in tight spots – urban environments and restricted job sites with limited swing clearance. Its reduced tail swing lets operators get in close to buildings, road edges and boundaries without sacrificing any stability or digging power.

Running on a responsive diesel engine, the SH145X has got the hydraulic performance to really get the job done – whether it’s trenching, civil work, utility installation, road maintenance or medium-scale excavation. The machine’s digging depth, breakout force and reach make it a serious contender for full-sized machines, but with a much smaller footprint.

You’ll also notice that the operator comfort has been a top priority here – ergonomic joystick controls, great visibility, adjustable seating and reduced cabin noise are all part of the package. The hydraulic system’s smooth control helps with fine grading and precise operation, while the undercarriage is solid as a rock on challenging terrain.

Maintenance access is a breeze and the components are built to last – making the SH145X a great choice for high-usage fleets and demanding contractor workloads. Its balance of compact manoeuvrability and real excavation strength makes it a great option for contractors who want a lot of capability in a machine that’s designed to excel in tight or urban environments.
