Chińskie koparki dobrze sprzedają się za granicą

In the field of foreign trade, the export of excavators is a weather vane for observing the performance of the construction machinery industry and even the manufacturing industry. Since the beginning of this year, China’s excavator exports have continued to heat up, becoming a bright spot in the difficult recovery process of the world economy.

According to the China Construction Machinery Industry Association’s statistics on major excavator manufacturers, from January to March this year, major manufacturers exported 28,643 excavators of various types, a year-on-year increase of 13.3%. Increase.

Main construction machinery, China’s output ranks first in the world

According to information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has formed 22 major categories of construction machinery products, and is one of the countries with the most complete product categories and varieties. Among them, the output of major products such as excavators, cranes, and loaders ranks first in the world. Behind the rapid growth of domestic excavator exports is the high-quality development of manufacturing companies.

High quality, reflected in the product itself——

According to Wu Yuanfeng, deputy general manager of Zoomlion Earthmoving Machinery Co., Ltd., the export sales of Zoomlion’s main model excavators in the first quarter of this year increased by more than 200% year-on-year. This achievement is inseparable from the company’s great investment in product research and development and production technology.

“In recent years, we have built the industry’s first full-process intelligent manufacturing excavator production base in Changsha, which has achieved more compatible and flexible production. Compared with traditional production lines, the average production capacity of excavators in the new base has increased by nearly 70%. The production cycle has been shortened by 65%. With its performance in terms of operating strength, construction efficiency, fuel saving and handling of complex working conditions, Zoomlion’s Zhongda excavation products have been highly recognized by overseas customers.” Wu Yuanfeng told our reporter.

Wu Yuanfeng said that to expand overseas markets, Zoomlion will apply new technologies to export products as soon as possible, aiming at high-end markets in Europe and the United States, improving the level of intelligence and informatization of products, and actively developing “working condition adaptability” in emerging countries’ markets. “Research.

High quality is also reflected in supporting services——

In the first quarter of this year, Liugong’s overall export of excavators increased by 16% year-on-year, and the growth rate of large excavators over 30 tons exceeded 80% year-on-year. Talking about the gratifying trend of overseas sales, Lin Shen, Director of International Business of Liugong Excavators, couldn’t hide his excitement.

He told our reporter that in recent years, Europe, America and Southeast Asia have continuously increased infrastructure investment and mineral development, which has brought market opportunities for Chinese excavators. “Our excavators have an average trouble-free time of more than 1,700 hours. We also have earth-rock products such as motor graders, bulldozers, and loaders, as well as a global after-sales service network to provide customers with all-round support.” Lin Shencai said, Liugong is in the service End-to-end investment has become an important magic weapon to win the favor of overseas customers.

At present, Liugong excavator has set up 7 sales regions in 102 countries around the world, and each region has its own sales channels and after-sales service system to provide “7×24 hours” service. Lin Shencai gave an example that customers can report to LiuGong immediately when encountering various problems during construction. Relying on the sufficient spare parts reserves of dealers and outlets in various regions around the world, LiuGong can provide maintenance and repair services to customers in the shortest possible time.

Export of miniature excavators has become a new bright spot

Zhou Minliang, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that under the background of greater downward pressure on the global economy, economies in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East have stabilized their economies by increasing investment in infrastructure construction, mining and other fields. This is an important reason for the growth in overseas demand for construction machinery products such as excavators. At this time, relying on the technical strength, product reputation and service system accumulated over the years, Chinese companies actively seized orders from overseas markets and realized the growth of exports of domestic excavators and other construction machinery products.

Since the beginning of this year, one of the highlights of the “going out” of domestic excavators is the sudden emergence of small and medium-sized enterprises, which have been recognized by overseas markets.

Wang Xiaodong, a senior industry operation expert at Alibaba International Station, said that excavators have become one of the typical products representing China’s manufacturing strength. “Compared with large enterprises, the excavator products of small and medium-sized enterprises are mainly micro excavators and small and medium excavators, which have the characteristics of rich products, wide application fields, and strong price competitiveness. Cross-border e-commerce platforms can provide strong support for the expansion of exports of these products. “Wang Xiaodong told our reporter that Alibaba International Station promotes different types of excavator products for overseas buyers in different countries to meet their diverse needs.

Focus on the global market for layout

Excavators are sold well overseas, and they have a significant role in driving the economy.

According to the data from Tianyancha, as of mid-April, there were more than 38,000 registered enterprises in the country whose business scope included “excavators”. From the perspective of geographical distribution, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hebei, and Jiangsu have a large number of excavator-related companies, accounting for 15.68%, 10.06%, 9.42%, 7.93%, and 6.12% of the country. From the perspective of the establishment time distribution, 51.6% of the enterprises were established between 1 and 5 years ago, which shows the rapid development of the industry.

In the face of opportunities in overseas markets, enterprises have made great efforts.

Wang Chuanming, chairman of SINOMACH International Equipment Co., Ltd., told our reporter that the company’s main export markets for excavators are Argentina, Ecuador, the Philippines, Indonesia and the Middle East. The main export products are large-tonnage excavators of 20 tons and above, which can be used in mining, road construction, farmland water conservancy and other fields. In the first quarter of this year, the company’s excavator export business made a “good start”.

“As a representative product of construction machinery, excavators always come first in terms of quality and reliability. In recent years, the maturity of the domestic high-end parts supply system has ensured the quality of our excavators. Today, each of our new excavators has It will be introduced to the market after more than 3,000 hours of ‘combat test’.” Wang Chuanming said that the company also actively strengthened localized services according to the usage habits of customers in different countries, added a number of resident engineers and gradually trained a local team. First batch of service personnel to ensure the after-sales service level of SINOMACH machine.

Xiao Zhihai, general manager of Sunward Intelligent International Market Development Center, said: “For micro-excavation, we design excavators specifically for the size and operating habits of European and American customers. For large-scale excavation, our products are multi-functional, efficient, and flexible. Safety and comfort are integrated, and the sensitivity of operation is improved through the high-precision control system. These excavators can be used in municipal engineering, mine rock drilling, engineering infrastructure and other fields all over the world.”

Xiao Zhihai said that Sunward has always insisted on independent research and development and independent innovation. Excellent product performance and competitive price have won many “loyal fans” in foreign markets.

Wan Zhe, a researcher at the “One Belt, One Road” Institute of Beijing Normal University, believes that the popularity of Chinese excavators overseas is essentially a reflection of the strength and level of China’s manufacturing industry that has been recognized by the world. Wan Zhe said that infrastructure construction is an important prerequisite for the economic and social development of a region. Over the past ten years, the “Belt and Road” initiative has aroused great resonance in countries along the route and beyond. The in-depth and solid cooperation of various cooperation has created an important external environment for domestic excavators to go to sea. “In the future, relevant companies should accumulate overseas experience, further improve the digitalization, electrification, automation, and intelligence of excavator products, and gain stronger competitiveness.” She said.

Operation method of mini excavator

It is by no means a simple matter to run an excavator well. There are many points that must be paid attention to during the operation process. From the purchase and transportation of the excavator, to the selection of the project, the selection of the operator and the maintenance, it is all up to you. The links that need to be considered in operating a mini excavator, what skills do you need to operate a mini excavator? Let’s take the mini excavator as an example, and the old driver will teach you five points of experience.

Purchase of Mini Excavator

Operating a mini excavator actually starts from the stage of choosing to buy an excavator, and the excavator is the tool for making money in the future. There are many things to consider when buying a mini excavator, such as the market reputation of the brand excavator, failure conditions, approximate operating costs, basic fuel consumption, maintenance cycle, etc. If you are not sure, you can consult a friend who is familiar with Xiaodi. Another point that must be considered when purchasing a mini excavator is whether to choose an imported mini excavator or a Chinese mini excavator.

Operator choice of excavator

If you are the owner of an excavator, it is particularly critical to choose the operator, which directly affects the service life of your excavator and the reputation of your work. Be careful when choosing a machine operator, don’t choose an apprentice who has just graduated from a teacher or a machine operator who doesn’t care about excavators just to save a few hundred dollars. If the work of the mini excavator is not good, it will affect the future business. Of course, as a boss, you must take into account the feelings of the mobile phone operator, and you should not be too picky or put on airs, so that the mobile phone operator can work without emotion. It would be better if you are both the boss and the operator.

Engineering Selection Skills for Mini Excavation Equipment

For the operation of mini excavators, before contracting the project, it is necessary to estimate the cost, and you must know what to do to earn money. Here are four lessons for you:

(1) It is not easy to contract earth and stone works. What is under the soil is unpredictable. If someone asks you to dig a foot in, it may take a whole day, which is time-consuming and laborious.

(2) The construction period of the mini excavator is generally relatively short. Before each construction, it is necessary to check it out. It is not worthwhile to toss a day for two hours.

(3) Working in the countryside is not less profitable than in the city. First of all, ordinary people seldom default on wages, and only come back to you to work when they have money. The common people are not as savage as the contractors in the city. If you do well in the common people’s house, other people in the village will find you to do it.

(4) If you are working in a mountainous area, it is necessary to have a breaker. The work of digging the foundation is often inseparable from the hammer.

Mini Excavator Safety

Friends should all know that micro excavation and mini excavation are mainly used in rural areas, municipal engineering, water conservancy projects, etc., and frequent site transfers are required, which is inseparable from trailers. First of all, the trailer you choose should not be too high, as it is easy to rub wires if it is too high. Secondly, it is recommended to park with an air brake. If there is no air brake, you must put stones on the wheels of the trailer when digging up and down. Safety is the most important thing; , the wheelbase of the trailer should not be too long, otherwise it will be very difficult to get on the curve.

Maintenance of mini excavator

Maintenance is a step that cannot be ignored in the operation of excavators. Whether maintenance often affects the service life of excavators. Filling the vehicle with butter, draining the oil tank bottom, checking the engine oil, draining the oil-water separator, and checking the coolant are all necessary links for daily maintenance. Premature wear of the fuel system (oil pump, nozzle) is mostly caused by improper daily maintenance of the operator; remember to blow the air filter and radiator when you have time, and the maintenance cycle of the excavator must be completed on time, so as to ensure Excavators last longer.

Wskazówki dotyczące konserwacji koparki

Excavator, also known as excavating machinery (excavating machinery), is an earthmoving machine that uses buckets to dig materials higher or lower than the bearing surface, and loads them into transport vehicles or unloads them to stockyards. It has become the most important in engineering construction. One of the engineering machinery. In use, reasonable maintenance is an effective means to prolong the service life of the machine.

rippa excavator

Daily inspection is an important link to ensure that the hydraulic excavator can maintain high-efficiency operation for a long time. Doing a good job in daily inspection can effectively reduce maintenance costs.

1. When the excavator stops, carefully check whether the anchor screws and bearing pad screws are loose, the gear meshing and lubrication of each part, and the bearings, power devices, control systems, brakes, gearboxes, track shoes, and basic parts. Whether there is any abnormal wear and damage on various parts such as cables, wire ropes and bucket teeth;

2. During operation, pay attention to the operation of each motor, mechanical transmission, braking system, control system, cooling fan, lighting and signals, etc., and detect and deal with various problems in time during the inspection;

3. For newly installed excavators, all parts must be filled with oil before trial operation, and the lubrication conditions must be checked in shifts within the first week of work; for excavators that have been out of service for a long time, the original Squeeze out all the old dry oil. Good lubrication can reduce mechanical wear and failure during operation. Lubrication work must be carried out in strict accordance with the time limit, oil quantity and type of lubricating oil specified in the excavator manual;

4. The filter element plays the role of filtering impurities in the oil circuit or gas circuit, preventing them from invading into the system and causing failure; all kinds of filter elements should be replaced regularly according to the requirements of the (operation and maintenance manual); when replacing the filter element, check whether there is any metal attachment On the old filter element, if there are metal particles, diagnose and take improvement measures in time; use a pure filter element that meets the requirements of the machine. False and inferior filter elements have poor filtering ability, and if the material quality of the surface of the filter layer does not meet the requirements, it will seriously affect the normal use of the machine.

5. Daily maintenance; check, clean or replace the air filter; clean the inside of the cooling system; check and tighten the track shoe bolts; check and adjust the anti-tension of the track; check the intake heater; replace the bucket teeth; adjust the bucket clearance; check Front window washer fluid level; check and adjust the air conditioner; clean the cab floor; replace the breaker filter element (optional). When cleaning the inside of the cooling system, after the engine is fully cooled, slowly loosen the water inlet cover to release the internal pressure of the water tank, and then release the water; do not clean when the engine is running, the high-speed rotating fan will cause danger; when cleaning or replacing the cooling system In case of liquid, the machine should be parked on level ground.

6. Maintenance items every 250H. Check the oil level in the final drive box (add gear oil); check the battery electrolyte; replace the oil in the engine oil pan, replace the engine filter element; lubricate the slewing ring (2 places); check the tension of the fan belt, and check Adjust the tension of the air conditioner compressor belt.

What’s the best way to buy a mini excavator?

Where can I buy a mini excavator?

When it comes to making the actual purchase, you can do the whole thing in a number of ways.

Local Brand Distributors

The first and most popular way to buy a mini excavator is through a local brand dealer. Once you know which mini excavator to buy, all you have to do is visit a showroom in your area and start shopping.

E-commerce Market

Another way to get the mini excavator of your choice is to search through e-commerce marketplaces like eBay. Here you can find many different offers on items of your choice. If you’re interested in buying a used model and are looking for competitive prices, this is a great place to do some research.

Finally, you can buy a mini excavator directly from the manufacturer. There are many advantages to sourcing heavy equipment from its country of origin. Let us explore this option further in the following paragraphs.

How to find a mini excavator with reliable performance and low price in the market?

If you are in the construction industry, then you absolutely need a mini excavator. From digging and trenching to demolishing and cleaning debris – there’s so much going on in these compact machines. For any contractor or construction company, owning a mini excavator can significantly reduce costs from manpower-intensive tasks.

But while paying off well in the long run, most mini excavators come with a high upfront cost when you buy them. Does that mean you should give up on the idea of buying one? of course not! What you need to do is find a cheaper model that fits your budget without compromising on performance.

So how do you find the best cheap mini excavator that does the job right? This can only be achieved through in-depth research and knowledge of the market. To do this, you must understand the factors that determine the cost and reliability of a particular model. Let’s explore these two factors together!

What are the factors that affect the price of small excavators?

Brand Awareness

If you’ve done your research, you can have a pretty good guess at how much your mini excavator will cost, just by knowing the brand of it. Like all other things, brand awareness is one of the key factors in determining how much something will cost. Just like you would expect a Gucci bag to be much more expensive than the bag you buy at target, a mini digger from a major brand will be much more expensive than a brand you’ve never heard of.

Key Parts

The key components of a mini excavator include the engine and hydraulic system. These factors not only directly affect the performance of the mini excavator, but the quality of these components also determines the cost. If all you need is an average mini excavator that can do some digging, you can probably get one for cheap. But if you’re looking for some quality trenching, you’re going to have to bring in a cannon with a more powerful engine and hydraulics. Of course, this upgrade comes at a price.

Key Hydraulic Components

Additional Functions

The cheapest mini excavators feature a lot, but you may have other requirements that they can’t meet. If a standard built mini excavator can’t do the job you want done, you’ll want to look at a mini excavator with additional features. Side swing arms, zero tail swing, extended arms or extended undercarriage – each additional accessory makes the machine more expensive.

Maintenance And Repair

Last but not least, the maintenance and repair frequency and needs of a mini excavator also largely determine its final cost. A machine that requires little maintenance between uses will cost more in the market, but will end up costing less in the long run. Conversely, mini excavators that require frequent maintenance have lower upfront costs.

What determines the reliability of a mini excavator?

Source

While it is true that simply using a big brand name on a piece of equipment can significantly increase its price, we must also admit that the quality of a machine sourced from big brand components is much higher than that of an unknown brand. This is because big brands need to maintain their reputation in the market and cannot risk producing substandard equipment. So, if you want to buy with ease, it is always a safer route to go for a reputed brand.

Sourcing routes like Kubota and Yanmar are known for their powerful engines. Likewise, hydraulic components from Shimadzu, Hyde, Doosan and Eaton remain unmatched.

Standardized Production

A brand of small excavator, if it is large enough to ensure the standardized production and quality inspection of its equipment, automatically becomes reliable. The company has done all the necessary tests for you, and you don’t have to worry that there might be something wrong with the product you purchased. There are always exchange and return options for equipment in rare cases.

Mass Production Of Small Excavators

Reasonable Industrial Design

If your mini excavator has multiple extras but lacks a well-designed core, you might as well throw it out now. For a mini excavator to be reliable, it needs to be built on a sound industrial design. The structure of the device itself is a very important factor in determining its robustness and reliability.

Emission standard

The emission standard of your compact excavator does not only affect the environment, but also the performance and robustness of your machine. Confused? Let us explain.

Mini excavators that are Tier 4 certified (EPA 4) are designed to burn fuel cleaner and reduce air emissions. This minimizes the dense byproducts of combustion from settling in the bottom of the fuel tank during cold weather conditions and causing potential problems in the engine. Hence, your excavator needs less frequent cleaning and maintenance in between uses to function properly.

Trench digging can be said to be one of the basic operations of a mini excavator. It seems simple but actually has a high technical content. In the process of digging trenches, many novices often have problems such as not being straight, digging off-track, and the bottom of the trench is wide or narrow. So what are the operating skills of trench digging? Take a look at the basic operation of trenching shared by “Rippa Group”.

The trench must be dug straight

The most basic principle of trenching is to follow the principle of straight digging. Generally, the route of the lime trench is drawn on the construction site. The center line of the chassis of the mini excavator is aligned with the lime line, and the teeth in the middle of the bucket correspond to the lime line, so that it is not easy to dig away. Biased.

If there is no lime line, you can use the track to press out a connecting line first, and the track traces left can play the role of the lime line. Bucket motion can then be adjusted to the track print left by backing up.

Ditch the surface first

When formally excavating, first take the surface layer, and then remove the lower layer. Never dig to the bottom at one time, especially the excavation of deep trenches is especially important; when digging a trench larger than the width of the bucket, first dig both sides, and then Dig in the middle.

Maintain the flatness of the slope

Many novices are not good at digging ditches, mainly because they have not done the principle of neatness, and the detailed operation needs to be further improved. From the beginning of opening the V-shaped ditch to the end, the slope must maintain the same slope. Of course, the soil quality and the depth of the ditch are different, and the slope needs to be adjusted accordingly.

The two lines on the graph are straight, which is the premise of keeping the slope of the ditch flat. When digging a ditch, the operator must pay attention to the loose soil on the side of the ditch to prevent the soil from falling, and clean it up with a bucket in time.

Ditch Bottom Control.

The control of the bottom of the ditch is very important. At this time, it is necessary to use the skills of throwing squares and leveling. If the trench is to install water pipes for drainage, a certain slope at the bottom is required; if it is a house foundation pit, the bottom is required to be level.

In fact, many operators are not sure about the height of the bottom of the ditch. When there are surveyors, they can ask the construction workers to measure with instruments and measure while digging. If you don’t have any, you can find some references, and you should get out of the car to observe more.

Three ways to dig a trench.

The basic operation skills of trenching have been briefly introduced above, and finally three trenching methods are introduced for you:

(1) Ride-digging type: mainly in open areas, the excavator is parked in the middle of the ditch to be excavated, and the bucket is dug between the two crawlers.

(2) Side-by-side type: It refers to the relatively narrow area of the site, like a clear water channel, the bucket only digs along one side of the track line (here requires the use of slope skills).

(3) Face-to-face type: mainly for the excavation of road culverts, which means that the excavator is parked at a 90-degree angle to the side of the ditch (it should be noted that when the ditch is relatively deep, the bucket cylinder may touch the ditch side)

In short, the operator needs to pay special attention to the straightness of digging, the flatness of the slope, the control of the bottom of the ditch, etc. in the process of digging the ditch. It is not difficult to choose the appropriate ditching method.

One of the most valuables pieces of equipment on a construction site is an excavator, which has helped countless projects work more efficiently and effectively. But what is an excavator used for, and why is it so essential for many heavy equipment jobs?

To understand what an excavator is used for, it is helpful to look at the components. An excavator contains what is called a house, undercarriage, boom, stick, and bucket. These components feature the motors and gears to move the equipment, lift the bucket, and a spot for someone to sit and be in control of the machinery.

The main uses for an excavator are digging trenches, holes, and foundations, providing the power to do these tasks much more easily and effectively than any other piece of heavy equipment on the market. Companies across many industries may be looking at excavators for sale in China thanks to the wide range of industries they are used for, including forestry, mining, and all types of construction. In addition to digging, excavators are commonly used for projects such as demolition, dredging rivers, material handling, or just simply heavy lifting of objects.

With such a wide range of uses, it makes sense that there are different types of excavators to help find exactly the right one needed for the job at hand. One example is a tracked and wheel excavator, which is perfect when the job calls for things such as digging, material handling, brush cutting, demolition, open-pit mining, forestry work, and much more.

There are also mini excavators, which are smaller and lightweight, which makes them easier to transport quickly and efficiently to various construction sites. These types of compact excavators are ideal for trenching, as well as a wide range of utility work. In some cases, with the advances we have seen in hydraulic systems, these smaller excavators can even outperform larger machines, pulling their weight in a way that many people looking at heavy equipment for sale.

How to drive your excavator safely?

No matter what job you do, your health and life safety are the most important. “Excavators” in the engineering field should also have this awareness to protect themselves and their excavators at work. Speaking of safety knowledge related to driving an excavator, there are many. Here I will share with you the precautions before work.

First, pay attention to the state of the operator. As the core of the work, the excavator operator will make the excavator, a huge machine, perform various actions in the following work, and their status is closely related to the safety of the work. Therefore, if the operator is found to be fatigued, sick, mentally disturbed, or under the influence of drugs and alcohol, it is necessary to consider replacing the operator or suspending the operation, otherwise the operator is likely to make the excavator make improper actions due to physical reasons and endanger himself. and the safety of those around them. In addition, operators should pay attention to clothing, preferably wearing a helmet and safety shoes.

Secondly, the overall inspection of the excavator should be carried out. Check whether there are abnormal conditions such as oil leakage and cracks in the working parts of the oil cylinder, traveling device, slewing device and engine. If abnormal conditions are found and the operation is still carried out, the excavator will be seriously damaged on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may occur during the work. Terrible phenomena such as machine failure and machine out of control endanger life safety. So if you find that the machine is abnormal, please contact the service personnel of the local agent to solve the problem in time. Check whether the work lights and wipers can work normally, clean the windows and rearview mirrors to ensure a good view during work, tidy up the interior of the cab to obtain a spacious and comfortable operating environment, and prepare water bottles to ensure that the body can be replenished in time during work moisture. When demolishing abandoned buildings, grabbing wood and steel, etc., check whether the protective fences in front of and above the cab are firm.

Finally, confirm the working environment of the excavator. There are often workers who rest or hide from the sun under the counterweight of the excavator. Make sure that they evacuate before the engine starts, and prohibit other personnel from standing within the excavator’s digging radius. If the crushing work is about to be carried out, it may cause broken If stones are scattered, consideration should be given to expanding the scope of “personnel prohibited from entering”. If you are about to work in a swamp or a quagmire, consider whether the environment can withstand the grounding pressure of the excavator. If necessary, place a large iron plate in advance to prevent the excavator from falling into the swamp or quagmire. If excavation work is carried out on urban streets, ask professionals in advance whether the excavation work will damage sewer pipes and underground cables. Reckless excavation may easily cause sewage to be sprayed or the excavator to be connected to high-voltage electricity.
