Meet our Sany 2.7 tonne excavator

Published on 15 Aug 2023

Today we're showcasing our Sany 2.7 tonne excavator. We use it with a range of buckets, a rotating 5-tine grapple and a mulching flail that can be fitted to the machine depending on our job.

This model and its gross weight gives us the ability to tow it to and from site on a trailer behind certain vehicles on our fleet; it has a zero-swing cab meaning we can access tight areas on site, and also has proportional controls on the operational joysticks giving us the ability to run the rotating grab with precise control.

We mainly use the Sany for moving material on-site and feeding the chippers; this massively reduces manual handling and removes our operatives from the danger zones that woodchippers create. Using this equipment often results in us needing less labour on site and also reduces the amount of time required to complete a job.

As well as providing cost savings for our clients, using the Sany also creates other efficiencies, such as less disruption to motorists if working within traffic management. Not only does it benefit our clients, but less time on site means better morale within the workforce as they're not exposed to manual handling.

We'll next use the Sany on the M40 to carry out a fence line clearance with a mulching flail. Let us know if you spot it.

“Chevron Green Consultancy, as part of our strategic supply chain have been working on landscape assessments within our survey programme of the soft estate. These surveys ascertain requirements for specific habitat management, resulting in a valuable data source which will inform effective future resource allocation and asset management. Our innovation in commissioning the surveys and the very high-quality data provided from CGC has been recognised nationally by National Highways as the standard required across all areas and is now the benchmark set for other areas to achieve.”

Nick Pilcher, Senior Environmental Specialist, National Highways

“Chevron Traffic Management has recently had the pleasure of working alongside Chevron Green Services on the Southwest M&R cyclic maintenance grass cutting works. The benefits this has given us has made a big impact on being able to maximise outputs whilst also collaborating with other works across the network. Having all this in-house has streamlined our processes and allowed us to build even stronger relationships throughout the Group businesses and with our client Ringway. It has been great working with Chevron Green Services, and we look forward to working alongside them for the rest of these works and future works to come.”

JayJay Whitehead, Interim Area Operations Manager, Chevron Traffic Management

“From the offset Chevron Green Services were very professional. At the very first meeting Chevron Green Services reinforced Kier Highways strict stakeholder management policy and offered up assurances to a worried landowner. These assurances were upheld tenfold as the project met its conclusion. National Highways and Kier Highways were very happy with the stakeholder management as well as the quality of the works and agreed that they are happy to continue to work with Chevron Green Services in the future.”

Michael Smith, Project Manager Area 4 Schemes Dept, Kier Highways

“Chevron Green Services were very helpful throughout the scheme. The team undertook the works safely and used appropriate technology (such as robocutters) to eliminate risks where possible. The team were knowledgeable and even managed to easily accommodate vast changes to the scope of works when this was required.”
