A Sany 2-metre milling machine has been deployed to South Africa and is now in use on a Gauteng roads project
It is the first such machine to be delivered by the company to South Africa.
Sany South Africa held a delivery ceremony with an undisclosed local customer back in April, before deploying the machine for work on a 22-km provincial road renovation project.
After a month of operational work, Sany reported in a statement that the SCM2000C-10R machine had “fully met and exceeded the project’s construction requirements.”
It noted: “The customer’s chief engineer gave feedback: Sany milling machine is easy to operate, powerful, low fuel consumption, high milling flatness and largely reduces the following processing work.”
The statement added: “In addition, Sany engineers provided on-site support, and the Sany South Africa platform actively responded to the demand for spare parts reserves, which solved their worries and provided a solid foundation for the project to be delivered on schedule.”
The arrival of the machine in South Africa marks a milestone in Sany’s deepening presence in the Africa region and reflects growing trust in its road machinery by local partners.
In 2024, Africa was the group’s fastest-growing regional market, with revenues surging by 44% to reach US$0.75bn, outstripping feeble growth in developed markets in Europe and the Americas.
“Looking ahead, Sany will continue to contribute to South Africa’s infrastructure development and support the high-quality growth of the road construction industry,” the company statement added.
Sany’s 2-meter milling machine stands out in the industry with 15% higher milling efficiency and 15% lower fuel consumption compared to similar products.
Equipped with an intelligent predictive maintenance system, it has been widely adopted in national road construction projects across multiple countries, earning global recognition for its reliability and advanced technology.
In addition to the machine’s performance, the company also offers comprehensive support services to customers.
On the Gauteng roads project, Sany engineers provided timely on-site technical assistance, while the South Africa branch ensured spare parts availability through proactive coordination.
These efforts helped resolve customer concerns and laid a solid foundation for the project to be delivered on schedule, the Sany statement noted.
