Product Overview

The SANY filter set brings three filters for a crawler crane together as one line: the diesel water separator, the air cleaner main cartridge and the lube filter. Between them they cover the fuel, the intake and the oil side of a routine engine service, which is why they are grouped here instead of being chased down as three separate errands. Every unit is new — nothing rebuilt, nothing pulled from a machine that has been broken up for scrap.

Orders are picked from boxed stock in Shenyang and consolidated before dispatch, so a set can travel out with the rest of a crawler crane parts order rather than as three parcels on three dates. Individual boxing also means a set can be split across two machines when only part of it is needed.

The set is put together for fleets that plan services ahead, for repair workshops that would rather keep SANY crane parts on the shelf than order to the job, and for contractors who want the whole group of crane spare parts arriving together before the crane is due back on the hook.

It suits a machine that is being serviced to a schedule. If a crane is already misfuelling, smoking or losing power, filters on their own will not diagnose it — describe the symptoms and we will point you at the fuel or intake side first.

Inside the Service Set

• Diesel water separator — mounted on the fuel line ahead of the injection system, it takes water out of the diesel before the pump and injectors ever see it. Water arrives with condensation in a part-full tank, with drum fuel and with deliveries from an unfamiliar supplier, and a high-pressure fuel system is the most expensive place on the machine to find it.
• Air cleaner main cartridge — the large pleated element inside the air cleaner housing. On demolition, quarry and road work the air carries silica dust that polishes an engine away from the inside, and this cartridge is the only thing standing between that dust and the cylinders.
• Lube filter — cleans the engine oil on every pass and holds the fine carbon and metal that build up between oil changes. It is a sealed canister, so it is replaced with the oil rather than cleaned and refitted.
• Why they travel together — a crane booked in for a full service rarely needs just one of the three, and a missing filter is what keeps a machine standing in the yard while the rest of the work waits.
• What the set leaves out — fuel fine filters, hydraulic return filters, urea filters and the various seal and repair kits sit on their own references; send those numbers with your enquiry and they can be added to the same order alongside this SANY filter set.

Part Numbers & Fitment

On a SANY, the filter is identified by its number, not by the crane's model name. One reference can appear on several models and across production years, which is why a search by model returns a shortlist and a search by number returns the item — a point that surfaces every week when a buyer compares crane parts suppliers and their catalogues disagree.

Start with the number printed or stamped on the old filter, or with the number listed against your machine in the parts book. Where the two differ, treat it as a question rather than a coin toss and send both; superseded references are ordinary on heavy equipment spare parts, and the older number usually leads to the current one.

If the old filter came off with nothing legible on it, photograph the machine's data plate. Model, serial number and year together narrow the range considerably. When even that is missing, measure the height and the sealing diameter of the old unit and send those figures with two or three photos; our team works from them against the SANY crane parts reference and confirms the match before quoting.

Older cranes are not a dead end. References that have dropped out of the current catalogue can usually still be traced through the supplier network behind our crawler crane parts, a network we have been building since 2017 and which covers machines well past their warranty.

Specifications

Materials & Construction

The SANY filters in this set are built to the references printed on their cartons, and the difference between them and a counter copy is mostly in the details. The lube filter is a steel canister with a crimped base seam and a painted exterior that stands up to the salt, slurry and wash-down water thrown up under a crawler crane; the thread and the rolled seam are where a thin copy shows itself first.

The air cleaner main cartridge is a pleated paper element with moulded end caps. The pleat pack holds the dust, and the caps are what stop unfiltered air slipping past the ends — loose caps are the usual failure on a lower-grade element, and they fail quietly, which is worse than a restriction that announces itself.

The water separator's work is done by its element and by the sealing faces around it. A nicked or hardened seal lets diesel weep past and defeats the separation, so look at the seal land before the unit goes back on the machine.

Paper media does not like a damp store. Keep the element in its carton until it is ready to fit, and set aside any filter whose pleats have swollen or whose canister has been dented in transit; a distorted element can be drawn out of shape by the airflow and stop sealing at the ends.

Each carton in the SANY filter set carries the genuine-parts marking together with the part number, the part name and the quantity, and the lube filter's label records its weight — useful when a shipment is being checked against the packing list before it goes into stores.

Fitting the Set

1. Work with the engine off and cold, and put a tray under the separator before anything is opened; diesel on a hot manifold is a fire risk, not a spill to be wiped up later.
2. Clean around every housing first. Grit that drops into the fuel bowl or past the air intake does more damage in a minute than the old filter did in a season.
3. Drain the water separator into the tray, note whether the fuel is cloudy or carries a film, then swap the element and refit the bowl, checking the seal land as it goes back.
4. Open the air cleaner, lift out the main cartridge, wipe the housing with a damp cloth, seat the new element squarely and check the cover seal before clamping it down.
5. Spin the lube filter off with a strap wrench, wipe the mounting face, smear a film of clean oil on the new canister's ring and tighten by hand only.
6. Prime the fuel system as your manual describes, start the engine, and watch the filter head and the air cleaner joint for a minute or two before the machine goes back to work.
7. Write the date and the hour meter reading on the service sheet — the next interval is easier to defend when the last one is recorded.

Maintenance Planning & Part Range

A set like this is worth treating as shelf stock rather than a special order. Most fleets keep one set per crane, or one per two cranes on a busy site, because a set costs little against a lost shift, and holding SANY crane parts on the shelf means the filters are changed when they fall due rather than when a parcel arrives.

The wider service list is worth planning at the same time. Alongside these three, most workshops hold fuel fine filters, hydraulic return filters, seal kits and repair kits for the same machine, because a job that begins as a filter change often ends at a weeping hose or a worn seal — and that is the moment a crane spare parts order becomes urgent.

Our crawler crane parts go well beyond filtration: undercarriage items such as track shoes, track rollers, idlers and drive sprockets; hydraulic pumps, motors and valves; electrical parts including cables, monitors, controllers, limiters and sensors; and driveline items such as wire ropes, sheaves and bushes.

Structural pieces are part of the range too — sheaves and pulleys, pins and axles, link panels and crane boom parts — for machines that have taken a knock on site or for booms being rebuilt after years of service.

The same catalogue runs across SANY, XCMG, ZOOMLION and FUWA machines, so a mixed fleet can be covered in one enquiry. For anyone who buys construction machinery spare parts week in and week out, the useful part is not the length of the list but whether the number is confirmed before dispatch.

Quarrying, port work, bridge construction and oilfield support all press heavy equipment spare parts the same way — dust, water and hours — and the filters here are the routine side of that. If you want to build a stock list for a fleet, send the machine models and we will tell you which numbers belong on it.

Ordering & Delivery

• Order quantity — 1 piece is enough; the set can be combined with other items on the same order if that suits your workshop.
• Payment — T/T; Western Union or as agreed.
• Lead time — Most parts in stock. Usually need 7-20 days, according to the quantity.
• Shipping — EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF; shipped via Shanghai, Dalian, etc.
• Warranty — 2500 Working Hours or One Year.
• Packing — each filter stays in its printed carton, cartons are consolidated into an export case carrying fragile, keep-dry and this-way-up marking, and larger orders travel on a film-wrapped pallet or in a plywood crate.
• If something arrives wrong — photograph the item and the carton label, send the photos with your order reference, and we will check them against what was dispatched; once it is confirmed, we arrange the correct item.

Between-Service Filter Care

• Stock the set dry and off the floor — keep spare cartons on a shelf in the stores rather than on the crane deck or in a toolbox, away from solvent, battery acid and direct sunlight. Paper media takes up moisture from a damp store, and a canister that has been rattling around a tool tray for a month can arrive at the machine with a dent in the seam.
• Rotate by the carton label — each carton carries the SANY part number, the part name, the quantity and a 24-month shelf life. Put new deliveries behind the old ones and fit the oldest set first, so nothing sits past its date in the stores while a fresh set goes onto the engine.
• Drain the separator as a habit, not a repair — a few seconds at the drain after each refuel from a drum, and at the interval your manual gives when fuel comes from a bowser, keeps water away from the high-pressure side. A separator that suddenly needs draining far more often is telling you something about the fuel, not about the filter.
• Write the restriction reading down — the air cleaner indicator is worth more as a trend than as a single glance. Note it beside the hour meter on the service sheet; a reading that climbs sooner than it used to will show up as a pattern before the engine starts losing breath on a pull.
• Leave the air cleaner closed between services — opening the housing to look at the element lets dust in and risks pinching the cover seal on reassembly. Read the indicator, check the clamps and the intake ducting, and save the housing for the day the new 61020095 cartridge goes in.
• Keep the pressure washer off the filter heads — a direct jet into the air intake, the separator head or the breather pushes water past seals that are only meant to cope with splash. Washing down around the engine is routine on a crawler crane; just aim the jet away from anything that opens into the intake or the fuel line.
• Check the carton against the old unit before the machine is opened up — number for number, and confirm the seal ring is in the box. Holding on to the cartons with their labels is also what you want if a warranty question comes up inside 2500 working hours or one year.
• Watch what the filters collect — cloudy fuel in the drain bowl, a separator that keeps pulling water, or an intake indicator that climbs quickly all point upstream: a split intake hose, a loose clamp, drums that were not clean. Catching that early is the cheapest crane spare parts decision on the service sheet, and it is usually the difference between a planned filter change and a lost shift.

Technical Support & Model Matching

Not sure which part fits your machine? Send the part number, the machine model, and a photo of the nameplate or the worn item, and our engineers — each with more than ten years in the construction machinery business — will confirm the correct reference and quote it. We advise on installation, help trace faults, and answer technical questions before and after dispatch. Since 2017 we have built this support on a supplier network covering FUWA, SANY, XCMG and ZOOMLION, so older and hard-to-find references can usually still be sourced.
