SUMITOMO SH225X-3 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Sumitomo SH225X-3 excavator is a robust hydraulic crawler excavator designed for medium to heavy-duty earthmoving tasks. It features a maximum cutting height of 35.8 ft and a maximum digging depth of 22 ft, providing excellent reach with a max ground reach of 32.6 ft and a vertical wall digging depth of 20 ft. The unit measures 28.6 ft in length and 9.8 ft in height for shipping, with a 9.2 ft width across tracks, enhancing transportability and maneuverability in constrained spaces. Powered by a BB-6BG1T engine with a displacement of 396.3 cubic inches, the SH225X-3 delivers 138.2 hp at 1950 rpm, balancing power and fuel economy. Its hydraulic system has a fluid capacity of 54.2 gallons and operates at a relief valve pressure of 4974.8 psi, supporting efficient hydraulic functions and enhanced digging force. The fuel tank capacity is 70.1 gallons, enabling extended operation without frequent refueling. The undercarriage features 23.7-inch shoes, a 7.3-foot track gauge, and maintains a ground pressure of just 7.3 psi, which allows it to work effectively on various terrains while minimizing ground disturbance. The excavator's operating weight is approximately 49,163 lbs, ensuring stability during heavy digging operations. The swing mechanism operates at a speed of 11.2 rpm, allowing precise and smooth rotation. Its bucket capacity stands at 1.1 cubic yards, suitable for versatile digging and loading tasks. Additional important dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.6 ft, track length on the ground of 11.1 ft, and a tight tail swing radius of 6.9 ft, which aids in navigating tight job sites. This combination of specifications makes the SH225X-3 an efficient, powerful, and maneuverable excavator suitable for a broad range of construction and earthmoving applications.
