Who Is Huayee?

What You Need to Know About This Mini Equipment Brand.

If you've been shopping for mini excavators or mini skid steers, you've probably come across the name Huayee. They're still relatively new to a lot of American buyers, so here's what you should know.

Built for the American Market
Huayee USA isn't just an overseas brand slapping a sticker on machines and shipping them over. The SHY series — which is what you'll find at authorized dealers like Equipment Place — is specifically tailored for the U.S. market. These are dealer-exclusive models with specs, components, and quality control that are overseen by a U.S.-based team out of Albany, Georgia.

That means the machines going through the dealer network aren't the same as what you'd find on a random import listing. The SHY lineup goes through QC checks stateside, and the U.S. team handles service support and parts availability for dealers and their customers.

Engines You Already Know and Trust
One of the biggest things that separates Huayee's dealer models from a lot of other compact equipment brands is what's under the hood. Depending on the model, you'll find Kubota diesel engines, Yanmar diesels, Briggs & Stratton gas engines, or Perkins diesels. These aren't off-brand powerplants — they're engines with decades of proven reliability, nationwide parts networks, and service shops on every corner.

That's a big deal. When your engine needs a filter, a belt, or a service manual, you're not hunting down some obscure overseas supplier. You're walking into your local parts store.

The Lineup
Huayee's range covers a lot of ground. On the excavator side, the SHY series starts with the compact SHY10 (~2,200 lbs) and goes up to the HY60C at 6 tons. Their mini skid steers go from the entry-level LHY360 up to the LHY680 with pilot controls and a Kubota diesel. And the WHY1000 mini wheel loader rounds it out with a 25 HP Perkins engine and 2,200 lb lift capacity.

Whether you need a small machine for residential landscaping or a 6-ton excavator for commercial site work, there's something in the lineup.

Warranty, Parts, and Support
This is where buying from an authorized dealer makes all the difference. The U.S. support team backs the dealer network with factory parts, warranty service, and technical support. As an authorized Huayee dealer, Equipment Place provides full factory warranty coverage and local service — you're not on your own after the sale.

We can also special-order any Huayee model not currently in stock. If they make it, we can get it.

Who Is Huayee Good For?
Huayee machines are ideal for landscapers, contractors, farmers, property owners, and rental companies who want reliable compact equipment without paying $80,000+ for a brand name. You're getting U.S.-spec'd machines with trusted engines, backed by a real dealer network — at a price point that actually makes sense.
