Amid the roar of machinery, micro excavators have become the darlings of emerging markets and small space operations. In October 2024, as one of the leaders in this field, Shantui revolutionized the industry in Shandong with the stature of a “miniature master”, introducing four models of micro excavators with diverse features that set new trends. The SE12, SE17SR, SE26SR, and SE36SR are not just a simple combination of numbers and letters; they represent Shantui’s fresh understanding and breakthrough in the intelligent and precision development of the construction machinery industry.
On this fertile ground showcasing technological innovations, SE12’s three-pump system, SE17SR’s tail-less rotation feature, SE26SR’s high-response load-sensitive system, and SE36SR’s high-power energy-efficient Yanmar engine, among other innovations, attracted widespread attention within and outside the industry. Each feature was not just a technical parameter enhancement but also reflected Shantui’s thoughtful consideration of construction machinery’s applicability, safety, and comfort.
From product functionality to user experience, Shantui excavators adhere to a user-oriented and market-driven design philosophy. Each innovation isn’t just a reaction to changes in the market but also a proactive embrace of customer expectations. Whether for farmland improvements, city construction, or landscape remodeling, Shantui excavators offer cost-effective and high-efficiency options, making them market pioneers.

Tail-less rotation suitable for narrow spaces, ensuring safer rear parts, with boom swing and no dead angles in corner root work.
Standard auxiliary lines with an option for a second set, capable of fitting various accessories.
The cabin interior is spacious with a broad view, the operating devices are well-placed, offering convenient and comfortable control.
SE36SR Rich in Accessories, Full in Function
Tail-less rotation and boom swing functions are suitable for narrow spaces with no dead angles. Equipped with multi-functional pipelines, it can be fitted with breakers, hydraulic shears, auger drills, and other accessories offering full functionality and versatility.
The cabin is equipped with heating and air conditioning, a Bluetooth + USB interface radio, high and low sounds, a multi-functional large color display, and touchscreen for convenience and practicality. It’s a multi-use machine with excellent performance, smooth operation, and easy-to-use controls.
The high-power, energy-efficient Yanmar engine, load-sensitive control hydraulic system enables high efficiency and quick response.
The offset bracket is made of high-strength cast steel, with optimized structural components, sturdy and durable. The overall color coordination is aesthetically pleasing, featuring a compact and exquisite design, emphasizing a familial and series-style aesthetic.
When the details of these four micro-diggers were spotlighted in the warm glow of the market and industry conventions, Shantui’s commitment was apparent –– to provide more refined and smarter construction machinery solutions. Not long after, the 2024 sixth Micro-Excavation Conference at the historic city of Xi’an, Dhao Hot Spring Hotel, kicked off with Shantui excavators in full attendance. Themed “Pooling Strengths, Pursuing Dreams Anew,” the conference was not just a showcase of technology and products but also a platform for deep industry exchange and collaboration. Here, Shantui Excavator demonstrated its relentless pursuit of innovation and also showcased its ambition and determination for embracing the future and achieving mutual development.
With the industry’s enthusiastic response to these four products, Shantui opened its doors for potential customers and partners to test-drive and experience each micro-digger’s unique charm, helping them find their own “construction wizard.” In this ever-changing industry, Shantui firmly believes that only by truly entering the user’s world can products be created that the world applauds.
Miniature in size no longer means limited capability, instead, it represents Shantui excavators’ new starting point for examining the market with greater detail and applying smarter designs to a variety of engineering environments. At the sixth Micro-Excavation Conference, Shantui Excavator, with its four exceptional micro-digger highlights, set a new benchmark for the intelligent and precision manufacturing of the engineering machinery industry, and showcased the boundless potential of the construction machinery industry’s march towards an even brighter future.
