SANY SY500H vs Volvo EC380E
The SANY SY500H is about 30% heavier than the Volvo EC380E (52,500 vs 40,400 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The SANY SY500H has about 32% more engine power (298 kW (400 hp) vs 225 kW (302 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for SANY and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
