Ferrari Groundworks Puts Its Trust in the SANY SY26C
For Dorset-based Ferrari Groundworks, versatility, reliability and low running costs are essential when selecting equipment. Working across a wide range of projects, including groundworks, concrete works, agricultural buildings and fencing, the company requires machines that can deliver strong performance every day while remaining economical to operate.
After purchasing a SANY SY26C mini excavator on the recommendation of another owner, the machine has become a key part of the fleet. In just six months, the excavator accumulated more than 500 operating hours, demonstrating its ability to handle demanding workloads across multiple job sites.
The SY26C is used for a variety of applications and is regularly paired with attachments including a post knocker, auger drive, flail mower and hydraulic breaker. This flexibility allows Ferrari Groundworks to maximise machine utilisation across its business, whether carrying out excavation work, fencing projects, ditch maintenance or concrete breaking.
According to owner John Ferrari, one of the machine’s standout features is its performance. Despite its compact size, the SY26C delivers impressive digging power and productivity, enabling the team to tackle challenging projects efficiently. From trenching works to jobs with restricted access, the machine has consistently proven capable of meeting the company’s requirements.
Operator comfort has also been a major advantage. With long working days common across the industry, the SY26C’s spacious cab, excellent visibility and intuitive controls help operators remain productive throughout the day. The simple display screen makes it easy to adjust hydraulic settings and machine functions, creating a user-friendly operating experience.
Fuel efficiency has been another significant benefit. Ferrari Groundworks reports that the SY26C consumes considerably less fuel than comparable machines they have previously hired, helping to reduce operating costs without compromising performance. For a business moving equipment regularly between sites, the machine’s compact dimensions also make transportation straightforward, allowing the team to manage movements in-house.
Alongside the machine itself, Ferrari Groundworks has benefited from strong support from its local SANY dealer, highlighting responsive communication and dependable service. Combined with SANY’s five-year warranty, this provides additional confidence in the long-term ownership experience.
For Ferrari Groundworks, the SY26C has delivered exactly what the business needs: a versatile, reliable and cost-effective excavator capable of tackling a wide variety of tasks. With strong performance, excellent fuel economy and dependable dealer support, it has become a valuable asset within the company’s growing fleet.
