SDLG Excavator Sizes Explained: From the ER626H Mini to the E6700HB
Buyers comparing SDLG excavator sizes face the same question at every yard: which machine actually fits the work — not this month's work, but the work that wins contracts for the next five years. The Kenya range runs from the ER626H mini class to the 69-tonne-class E6700HB breaker excavator, and each step up changes not just capability but transport, support machines and finance structure. This guide walks every class in the range, states what is verified, flags what is not, and shows how to pick the size that pays.
Quick answers if you are short on time: the range spans five classes — mini (ER626H/ER627H), small 6–9 t (E660FL/E690F), mid-size ≈13–25 t (E6135H, E6150H, E6215H, E6255H), heavy production (E6305H) and the 69-tonne E6700HB. Confirmed SDLG excavator price Kenya anchors start at KSh 15,300,000 for the E6215H (October 2026 list, inclusive, indicative); other models are quoted to order in writing within 24 hours. The SDLG excavator dealer Kenya desk is Trust Partners Geo-Group Ltd, Nairobi, on +254 718 686 967 — call or WhatsApp for mini excavator for sale Kenya listings right through to heavy excavator for sale Kenya quotations — every SDLG excavator for sale Kenya is quoted in writing against its verified configuration — plus SDLG excavator financing Kenya structures and honest stock positions.

The line-up at a glance
Model classes below are stated by designation and published comparison; exact figures are configuration-dependent — verify against the official datasheet for the unit on your quotation. One model, the E6305H, carries a registered source conflict and is listed without figures by rule.
| Class | Models | Typical work | Verified notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | ER626H (canopy), ER627H (cab) | Urban utilities, residential plots, tight-access digging | Mini class, ≈2.6 t by designation; canopy-vs-cab choice covered in our ER626H-vs-ER627H guide |
| Small | E660FL (6 t), E690F (9 t) | Plot cutting, drainage, small basements, farm works | Class framing from the published 6-tonne-vs-9-tonne comparison |
| Mid-size | E6135H, E6150H, E6215H, E6255H | General earthworks, basements, road jobs, quarries | ≈13–25 t bracket by designation; E6215H carries the confirmed KSh 15.3M anchor; E6255H is breaker-ready |
| Heavy production | E6305H | Mass excavation, quarry face loading | Zero figures published — registered source conflict (see below); datasheet gate applies |
| Flagship | E6700HB | Production breaking and heavy loading | 69-tonne-class breaker excavator; full specs, price basis and applications in its dedicated guide |
Mini class: the ER626H and ER627H
The entry point is the mini class — machines that earn on jobs a 20-tonner cannot physically reach. The ER626H is the canopy machine for open, quick-move utility and plot work; the ER627H adds the enclosed cab for dusty, all-weather Kenyan sites. Our ER626H-vs-ER627H comparison works through the canopy-or-cab decision honestly — the cab wins on operator retention and dusty-site hours, the canopy on purchase price and trailer weight. At this class, mobilisation cost and trailer pairing often decide profitability more than bucket size; the desk can price both configurations in one written quotation.
Small class: the 6-tonne E660FL and 9-tonne E690F
Step up and the work changes character: plot cutting to foundation prep, drainage lines, small basements and farm infrastructure. The E660FL (6-tonne class) and E690F (9-tonne class) divide this bracket, and the honest selector question is reach-versus-access: the 9-tonne machine digs deeper and loads higher but needs the bigger trailer and wider gate. The published E660FL-vs-E690F comparison covers both, including where a mini-versus-standard hire decision makes more sense than buying.
Mid-size: E6135H, E6150H, E6215H and E6255H
The mid-size bracket — roughly 13 to 25 tonnes by designation — is where most Kenyan contractors live, and it is deliberately crowded: the E6135H and E6150H anchor the general-earthworks end, while the E6215H and E6255H carry the heavier basements, quarry support and road programmes. The E6215H is the one mid-size model with a confirmed anchor on the October 2026 price list — KSh 15,300,000 inclusive, indicative — so buyers asking for a concrete SDLG E6215H price Kenya reference have one. The E6255H adds a factory breaker-ready configuration, covered in its dedicated guide, for contractors whose programme mixes digging and breaking.
Heavy production: the E6305H — and why this guide quotes no figures
The E6305H sits in the heavy production class for mass excavation and quarry loading — the face-planning guide and E6255H-vs-E6305H comparison show how contractors plan around it. But the campaign's strictest rule applies here: our published sources conflict — the website lists 32 t / 225 kW while the catalogue states 30.5 t / ≈184 kW — and until the official configuration datasheet and nameplate resolve it, we publish zero figures for this model. We do not average, and we do not pick the favourable number. The resolution path is the datasheet; the E6305H sales guide explains the gate in full.
| Source | Stated operating weight | Stated engine power |
|---|---|---|
| Trust Partners website listing | 32 t | 225 kW |
| Product catalogue | 30.5 t | ≈184 kW |
Both published figures disclosed per campaign policy; resolution only via the official configuration datasheet and nameplate. Verified 2026-10-31.
The top of the range: the 69-tonne-class E6700HB
The E6700HB is the range's breaker excavator — a 69-tonne-class machine built for production breaking and heavy loading, where transport, assembly and commissioning are project events rather than deliveries. This article links rather than duplicates: the dedicated E6700HB breaker excavator guide carries the verified class specifications, price basis, stock position and the five pre-order checks for flagship-scale buying.
Price anchors and ownership terms
Only the October 2026 price list supplies figures in this campaign — models not on it are quoted to order, and a listed price is never attached to a different model. The heavy-class excavator listings below are stated exactly as the list records them, with no tonnage assigned where the list gives none.
| Model | List price (KSh, inclusive, indicative) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| E6215H | 15,300,000 | Mid-size anchor; quoted against verified configuration |
| E305 | 20,650,000 | Heavy-class listing; configuration per quotation |
| E335 | 21,950,000 | Heavy-class listing; configuration per quotation |
| E375 | 26,500,000 | Heavy-class listing; configuration per quotation |
Ownership terms are uniform across the range: one year or 2,000 hours of factory warranty, extendable to two years; stock machines deliver in about two weeks and factory orders in eight to twelve; and a written quotation follows every inquiry within 24 hours. For the ownership-versus-hiring decision at any size, the hire-vs-buy break-even guide and the honest new-SDLG-vs-used-comparison are required reading.
How to choose your size: five questions
- What is the heaviest single job in the next 24 months? Size for that job, not the average one.
- What must the machine travel with? Trailer class, route restrictions and mobilisation cost scale steeply above 9 tonnes.
- Who feeds it and who carries away? Excavator size must match the tipper fleet and support machines, or the loop starves.
- Is breaking part of the programme? Breaker-ready configurations (E6255H) or dedicated carriers (E6700HB) beat retrofits.
- What does the finance file support? Size the machine to documented cash flow, not aspiration — the asset finance guide and documents checklist map the file.
