Komatsu PC490LC-11 vs SANY SY500H
The SANY SY500H is about 8% heavier than the Komatsu PC490LC-11 (52,500 vs 48,690 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The SANY SY500H has about 11% more engine power (298 kW (400 hp) vs 268 kW (359 hp)).
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.
