Where to find it
On Sany excavators the product identification plate is on the lower front of the canopy or cab, and the frame serial number is stamped on the front part of the travel-carriage (undercarriage) frame. Depending on the model the VIN may also appear on the cab door frame or under the operator seat. Confirm the plate matches the stamped frame number.
How the format works
Sany excavators use a 17-character VIN built to the international standard. On a standard 17-character PIN the tenth character encodes the model year, and the identification plate usually lists the year directly.
MachVerity reads the model year from a standard 17-character PIN automatically.
Confirming the exact year and model
The plate is the most direct source for the year. To confirm the exact model, specification and build details, give the full 17-character VIN to an authorized Sany dealer.
