Caterpillar 352 vs SANY SY500H
The SANY SY500H is about 7% heavier than the Caterpillar 352 (52,500 vs 48,900 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The Caterpillar 352 has about 11% more engine power (330 kW (443 hp) vs 298 kW (400 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and SANY in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
