Why Buy SANY Excavators from Fitzgerald Plant Services
Fitzgerald Plant Services has now sold more than 500 SANY machines. Here is why contractors across Wales and beyond are choosing SANY excavators from FPS.
Buying SANY through Fitzgerald Plant Services gets you a modern, well-warrantied machine, backed by a dealer that already runs a 24/7 plant-support business. In July 2026, FPS sold its 500th SANY machine, and more firms across Wales and beyond are making the switch.
Built on Plant Expertise
Fitzgerald Plant was founded in Cwmbran in 2007 as a specialist plant services company for the rail and construction industries.
Long before selling its first SANY, FPS was already carrying out repairs, maintenance, engineering, manufacturing, parts supply and heavy haulage, with support available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The business is ISO 9001 accredited and a RISQS-approved supplier to the rail industry, and those standards carry over to how we look after construction customers.
Recognised by SANY from the Start
SANY UK & Ireland appointed FPS as its South Wales dealer in December 2020. FPS invested straight away in a dedicated sales team and in training its own engineers on SANY machines.
The awards have followed ever since:
- 2021: SANY Dealer of the Year, plus a place in the SANY 50 Club for dealers selling 50 or more machines in a year
- 2022: SANY Top Dealer for Service Excellence, and the SANY Global Dealer Outstanding Service Award
- 2024: SANY Dealer of the Year for a second time, with runner-up awards for Salesperson of the Year and Service Excellence
Alongside that success, FPS opened a second depot and service centre at Corwen, near Wrexham, so customers in North Wales get local support too.
A SANY Excavator for Every Job
SANY UK is part of SANY Group, one of the world's largest construction machinery manufacturers. The UK SANY excavator range now runs from micro-diggers to quarry-class machines:
- Micro and mini (SY10U, SY18C, SY26C, SY35U): landscaping, utilities and tight urban sites
- Midi (SY50U, SY80U): groundworks, drainage and plot work
- Mid-size (SY135C, SY265C, SY305C): civils, earthmoving and infrastructure
- Large (SY500H, SY750H): quarrying and bulk excavation
The headline for buyers is the warranty: SANY excavators come with a five-year / 5,000-hour warranty, well beyond what many manufacturers offer as standard. Operators also point to low owning and operating costs, easy operation and low noise levels.
Support That Keeps You Working
The story behind our 500th machine shows why customers come back. HV Energy & Civils, a nationwide renewables and civil engineering contractor, placed its first FPS order in early 2025: one SY305 and two SY135 excavators. Two SY80s followed, then a telehandler, with more units already on order.
HV Energy gave two reasons for growing its fleet with FPS: the quality of the SANY machines, and the aftercare provided by FPS, which it rates as highly as the machines themselves. The contractor credits FPS with responsive support across multiple project sites, keeping downtime to a minimum and supplying extra machines when jobs needed them.
Everything You Need in One Place
Alongside SANY excavators, FPS is a distributor for Thwaites site dumpers, OKB attachments and TAFE tractors. Add in-house heavy haulage and a parts operation, and contractors can buy, equip, deliver and maintain their fleet through one relationship.
