In 2014, the most sought-after joke was "which excavator technology is stronger". A few days ago, Lan Xiang's chef even used the excavation mechanism to make a pumpkin pie with a net weight of 1,863 catties and made a lot of eyeballs. The excavator that acts as a shovel comes from the construction machinery company Sany Heavy Industry.
In this nonsensical national carnival, excavators, a relatively unpopular mechanical product, have also begun to be known to the public. So, the question is, out of the context of this viral spread, what is the specific situation of the mining industry? How are the major manufacturers performing in the market?

Market share: A unique international brand?

Excavation machinery is known as the crown jewel of construction machinery, widely used in highways, railways and other road construction, bridge water conservancy construction and urban construction, not only because it has a pivotal position in the industry, but also because of its high technical content, is the most difficult to do a product.
As far as the current domestic market share is concerned, international well-known brands occupy market advantages because they are more mature in technology.
According to the data disclosed by Construction Machinery Online, in September this year, a total of 1,006 mini excavators under 6 tons were sold, of which the market share of foreign brands was 55.0%, and the market share of domestic brands was 45.0%. In addition, the sales volume of excavators over 6 tons was 3,139 units, with a market share of 61.0% for foreign brands and only 39.0% for domestic brands.
At the same time, statistics from January to September 2014 more than 6 tons of excavator sales totaled 52,759 units, of which foreign brands accounted for 61.2%, domestic brands accounted for only 38.8%.
"This gap is reasonable, but the landscape is constantly changing as domestic manufacturers continue to improve their technology and design capabilities. In addition, the advantages of domestic manufacturers in terms of price and after-sales maintenance system will also attract more and more customer resources. A deputy general manager in charge of sales of an equipment manufacturing enterprise told a reporter from China Economic Net.
He also predicted that it was only a matter of time before domestic production equipment accounted for the main market share.
* Deep analysts also pointed out that with the deepening of urbanization, the construction of engineering and infrastructure construction in various regions is bound to drive the rise of related industries; The downstream industrial chain of excavators has also increased investment, and the entire industry is expected to recover; In addition, after the low tide, a new round of competition will inevitably accelerate the reshuffle of major enterprises in the industry.

Which excavator is stronger?

The above statistics also show that in the Chinese market, among the top five products in terms of sales in September, Sany Heavy Industry occupies four seats, namely Sany SY75C, Sany SY55, Komatsu PC360-7, Sany SY60C, Sany SY215C-8 excavators.
In the first nine months of this year, in the sales data of mini excavators, Sany Heavy Industry ranked first in the industry, followed by Doosan of South Korea; The sales volume of excavators of more than 6 tons is still Sany Heavy Industry, and Caterpillar of the United States and Komatsu of Japan rank second and third.
According to the data of Sany Heavy Industry, from 2011 to 2013, the company's domestic market share of excavators reached 11.56%, 15.8% and 13.7% respectively, surpassing Carter and winning the industry. In the first half of this year, its market share exceeded 15% again, and industry insiders believe that the company won this year's * 5656 and achieved "four sales *" There is no suspense.
In terms of data, in the excavator industry, Sany Heavy Industry is obviously slightly better.
Despite this, there are still many people who believe that domestic excavators win by price, and imported excavators are of better quality. At the end of 2012, CLSA gave the answer to this question in a working condition test report.
The two-week test involved six major brands: Sany Heavy Industries, Caterpillar, Hitachi, Doosan, and Komatsu Group and Kobelco Group. The test results show that the Carter excavator has a significant advantage in terms of work efficiency, but the Sany excavator is the first in fuel economy, saving 10% of fuel consumption to complete the earthwork per unit of earthwork. The research and test report pointed out that the excavation volume of Sany excavator under different working conditions and operation requirements exceeded that of Japanese and Korean brands, and was closer to CaterpillarMedium-sized excavatorslevel.
CLSA researchers have concluded that the technology gap between Chinese companies and foreign competitors is now "almost non-existent." As a result, the English-language magazine "The Economist" published an article saying that the *5660 construction equipment produced in China has reached the world's advanced level.
The 2012 survey report of the China Association for Quality also shows that among the small and medium-tonnage excavator products, Sany ranks *5656 with 1048.35 hours of trouble-free, followed by Komatsu, Kobelco, Hitachi, Liugong, Yuchai, etc.
In addition, according to media reports, on September 25 this year, in the annual "most popular Chinese company" list released by the Chinese edition of Fortune, Sany Heavy Industry was once again on the list, becoming the first Chinese construction machinery industry to be selected as one of the top 50.
So the question really comes, which excavator is stronger? If you really consider buying an excavator, whose product would you choose?
