With the SSR120C-8, SANY is offering equipment that municipalities, contractors and fleet owners have been looking for – purpose-built equipment with a low learning curve. As the younger generations start joining the construction workforce, the need has grown in turn to start training these workers to operate equipment like rollers and graders. SANY has even taken that into account when designing these new machines.

“Newer operators come from a generation that grew up playing video games, and operating controllers with joysticks for fun. That makes the learning curve substantially lower for younger operators to handle these joystick grader controls versus older, lever-style controls,” said VanOosterhout.

That’s not to say the controls aren’t easy to learn for veteran operators, either – particularly when compared with some of the other machines on the market today. Today’s experienced grader operator is accustomed to older, lever-operated machinery, which also means that many are choosing to nurse older machines for longer periods of time. These operators don’t want to jump into something that “looks like the Apollo spacecraft,” said VanOosterhout. With the new lines of SANY road equipment, they don’t have to – they can find powerful and durable machines that offer simple controls and only the features they need to get the job done effectively.cavator is made to bring big performance to narrow and confined spaces. 

Featuring a fully enclosed cab, operators can enjoy a comfortable cockpit while taking on earth-moving and road-building projects in any conditions. Its lightweight design and compact form make it versatile in the field, and easy access to important maintenance points helps reduce maintenance time so you can crush deadlines.

Zero tail swing radius and independent boom swing allow operation in extremely confined spaces. The independently developed intelligent control system matches pump output to available engine power for greater hydraulic system efficiency and lower fuel consumptionrite a description for this tab and include information that will interest site visitors.

The SANY SSR120-C is a compaction roller designed to have a minimal learning curve and long component life. The simplicity of this machine makes it great for inexperienced road construction equipment operators to train on, offering intuitive controls that make for a natural feel. Powered by a 162 hp Cummins engine and weighing in at 26,455 lbs, the SSR120-C roller gives you the right power and weight you need to reach your density target.
