Yuchai Excavator Model Comparison
Operating weight and bucket capacity are useful starting points for comparing excavators, but they should be evaluated together with digging depth, hydraulic performance and jobsite access requirements. The following representative Yuchai excavator models illustrate the different machine sizes available.
| Excavator Model | Operating Weight | Bucket Capacity | Power Type | Selection Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuchai U10 | 1,050 kg | 0.02–0.026 m³ | Diesel | Ultra-compact access and small excavation tasks |
| Yuchai U17 | 1,720 kg | 0.05 m³ | Diesel | Residential construction and utility work |
| Yuchai U20 | 2,000 kg | 0.05 m³ | Diesel | General compact excavation |
| Yuchai Y20E | 2,080 kg (Canopy) / 2,200 kg (Cabin) | 0.05 m³ | Battery Electric | Compact jobsites requiring operation without tailpipe emissions |
| Yuchai U35 | 3,860 kg | 0.12 m³ | Diesel | Compact excavation where tail-swing clearance matters |
| Yuchai U60 | 5,600 kg | 0.18 m³ | Diesel | Utility installation and medium-scale excavation |
| Yuchai Y60E | 5,950 kg | 0.18 m³ | Battery Electric | Electric excavation requiring greater working capacity than smaller mini excavators |
| Yuchai YC80 | 7,800 kg | 0.26 m³ | Diesel | Commercial construction and general earthmoving |
| Yuchai YC135 | 13,800 / 14,580 kg | 0.52 m³ | Diesel | Infrastructure construction and larger excavation projects |
| Yuchai YC215 | 22,300 kg | 0.9–1.1 m³ | Diesel | Large construction and earthmoving projects |
| Yuchai YC485 | 47,000 kg | 2.3 m³ | Diesel | Heavy earthmoving and large-scale excavation |
| Yuchai YC550 | 51,000 kg | 2.8–3.2 m³ | Diesel | High-capacity excavation and bulk earthmoving |
Specifications are based on the currently published Yuchai product information. Weight, bucket capacity and equipment configuration should be confirmed against the final model-specific technical sheet before ordering. In particular, confirm the applicable Y20E configuration and operating weight.
Diesel vs Electric Excavators: Choosing the Right Power System
Yuchai supplies both diesel-powered and battery-electric excavators. The appropriate power system depends on the working environment, daily operating schedule, charging or refueling availability and local equipment requirements.
| Selection Factor | Diesel Excavators | Electric Excavators |
|---|---|---|
| Power Source | Diesel engine | Rechargeable battery and electric drive |
| Tailpipe Emissions During Operation | Produces engine exhaust | No tailpipe emissions |
| Energy Supply | Requires diesel refueling | Requires suitable electrical charging infrastructure |
| Daily Operation Planning | Depends on fuel supply and refueling arrangements | Depends on battery capacity, workload and charging schedule |
| Maintenance Considerations | Engine servicing, filters, hydraulic system and undercarriage maintenance | Electric-drive inspections, battery-system requirements, hydraulic system and undercarriage maintenance |
| Typical Purchasing Considerations | Remote jobsites, refueling flexibility and operating requirements | Noise-sensitive projects, restricted exhaust conditions and available charging facilities |
Yuchai Battery-Electric Excavator Models
For customers evaluating electric excavators, Yuchai offers the Y20E and Y60E models in different operating-weight classes. Their battery capacities and working specifications should be assessed against the actual jobsite requirements.
| Model | Operating Weight | Battery Capacity | Maximum Digging Depth | Product Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuchai Y20E | 2,080 / 2,200 kg | 33.38 kWh | 2,310 mm | Y20E Specifications |
| Yuchai Y60E | 5,950 kg | 105 kWh | 3,635 mm | Y60E Specifications |
When requesting an electric excavator quotation, specify the required daily working hours, typical digging intensity, charging power supply and operating environment.
