Komatsu PC210LC-11 vs SANY SY215C

The Komatsu PC210LC-11 is about 3% heavier than the SANY SY215C (22,750 vs 22,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Engine output is effectively the same on both machines.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Komatsu and SANY in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
