Overview
The Yuchai U60 is a 5.6-ton crawler excavator with a 35 kW engine, a 0.18 m³ bucket, 3.64 m digging depth and 45 kN digging force.
The Yuchai U60 Excavator is a versatile 5.6-tonne crawler excavator engineered for construction, earthmoving, and site work across South Africa. In practice, this machine combines a proven Kubota diesel engine with strong digging force and precise hydraulic control, delivering reliable daily productivity for contractors on demanding job sites.
Yuchai U60 Excavator – Key Features
This excavator is powered by a Kubota V2607 (Euro V / Tier 4F) diesel engine producing 35 kW at 2200 rpm, driving a hydraulic system that delivers up to 45 kN of bucket digging force and 26 kN of arm digging force. The 0.18 m³ bucket, 5670 mm maximum digging height and 3635 mm digging depth suit trenching, foundations and loading, while a standard 1960 mm dozer blade adds backfilling and grading versatility. Riding on 400 mm steel tracks with a compact 1960 mm width and a 1065 mm tail-swing radius, the U60 works confidently in tight and open sites alike, and its 73-litre fuel tank keeps it productive through long shifts.
Applications in South Africa
Civil contractors use this machine for trenching, foundation preparation, and site clearing. Building and landscaping crews rely on compact excavators for confined-space digging and loading, while plant-hire fleets value their versatility. These machines are also used for drainage, cabling and general earthmoving projects.
