SWE 18UF
MINI EXCAVATOR
The Sunward SWE 18UF is a 4-pole canopy mini excavator built for small corners and tight working conditions. With the zero-tail chassis and the expandable undercarriage (from 900 mm to 1 360 mm), you can get into the smallest spaces, allowing for precise movement, even when the space is restricted. And in case you need extra support, you can simply widen the undercarriage.
The SWE 18UF has exceptional digging forces of over 22.7 kN (bucket) and over 9.8 kN (arm), which easily rival the 2-ton excavator competitors on the market.
With probably the longest arm in its class, allowing long-reach digging capacity, the SWE 18UF’s boom cylinder design provides a reach that’s over 4 meters (4 160 mm) long.
With 3 separate auxiliary lines as standard (the market provides 1 to 2 lines as standard), the SWE 18UF is ready for all types of attachments, an thus, it can adapt to any job site.
Comfort and safety are not at rest thanks to a 4-poles canopy design, the high back adjustable suspension seat and an ergonomically designed operator workspace.

Features & Benefits
On top of its EU certification, the Sunward SWE 18UF, like all Sunward machines on the European market, is designed to meet European customer needs.
We offer the reliable Yanmar 3TNV80F-SSU or the powerful Kubota D1105 engine for the Sunward SWE 18UF—both EU Stage V compliant and built for performance in demanding conditions. These compact industrial diesel engines deliver low fuel consumption, low noise, and strong torque, ensuring smooth, efficient operation. Perfectly matched to the hydraulic system, each engine brings the versatility and reliability that define the SWE 18UF.
All key components in Sunward excavators are carefully selected, from the engine to the hydraulic system. Since hydraulics are often considered the heart of the machine, Sunward sources exclusively from the most trusted suppliers in the industry. For the Sunward SWE 18UF, we chose premium manufacturers as our main suppliers for the hydraulic pump, as well as the traveling and swing motors. These components are known for their efficiency, reliability, and compact design—qualities that contribute directly to the overall performance and dependability of the SWE 18UF.
The SWE 18UF’s extendable undercarriage – the track width can be extended from 990 mm to 1 360 mm – provides sturdy stability, ensuring safe and comfortable operation in all kinds of job applications. The adjustable crawler track is ideal in confined areas or when greater stability is required.
For a compact machine, the SWE 18UF has exceptional digging forces of over 22.7 kN (bucket) and over 9.8 kN (arm), which easily rival the 2- ton excavator competitors on the market. And when it comes to its long-reach digging capacity, the SWE 18UF’s boom cylinder design provides a reach that’s over 4 meters (4 160 mm) long.
A mini-excavator’s versatility starts with how well it is designed for transportation. The SWE 18UF does more than simply align with the EU’s transportation regulations – truly compact (990 mm width) and lightweight (1 880 kg), it allows easy, safe, and secure transport. With an automatic slew lock and 4 easily accessed tie-down points on the lower frame, the machine can be safely transported on a small trailer with up to 3 buckets and a hydraulic breaker, while maintaining a total transport weight close to 2t. A wide range of attachments can be easily fitted to answer a variety of applications.
Sunward is your smartest investment in reliability, performance and high ROI. Indeed, the SWE 18UF’s expert design includes a well-thought-out selection of components that streamline operation and maintenance. Our design choices result in a machine that provides so many standard features, premium-brand key components, and capabilities at the right price.
And furthermore, Sunward’s own genuine spare parts are economical as well – and all of this best value for money is crowned by up to 5 years of warranty, standard for all Sunward products.
