“LiuGong excavators are powerful, easy to operate, and comfortable to drive, making them excellent equipment,” said Aumaric, an operator of LiuGong excavators, at a commercial district construction site not far from Abidjan, the economic capital of Côte d’Ivoire. Behind him, not far away, four pieces of LiuGong equipment, including loaders, excavators, road rollers, and graders, were working methodically, digging, transferring, and leveling the foundation in one go.

LiuGong Equipment Wins Praise from Côte d’Ivoire Partners

It is understood that Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire has a tropical rainforest climate, with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, making the working environment relatively harsh. “Under such conditions, many European and American brands are ‘unaccustomed to the local conditions,’ while LiuGong equipment, with its good performance, still performs well and has won the praise of customers,” said Liu Qiaoli, the Sales Manager for West Africa at LiuGong. It is reported that LiuGong has exported over 20,000 units of various products to Africa, with users in almost all African countries. This year, they delivered a thousand units to the Ghanaian government in one go. “Africa is one of the earliest overseas markets for LiuGong. Since LiuGong entered the African market, it has been growing and strengthening. LiuGong has established subsidiaries and offices in several key markets in Africa, and values localized operations, providing excellent products and services to local customers.”

1. Project Overview

The Malaysian cable non-excavation laying project crosses the Lumut Bay estuary in Malaysia, laying a Φ610mm pipe with a construction horizontal distance of 1250m and a crossing depth of 26m below sea level. Due to the chaotic distribution of sand and silt in the area and the complex geological conditions, the construction party chose the XuGong XZ5000 horizontal directional drilling rig for construction.

2. Drilling Equipment Configuration

The project uses 168, 140 drilling rods, equipped with a 172 mud motor for directional drilling. For hole expansion, a combination of Φ450mm to Φ900mm cutting and bucket-type hole expanders is used for construction.

3. Construction Technology

Directional Drilling: Directional drilling is assisted by double casing. First, a 16-inch casing is used to isolate the weak strata and seawater seepage of the soil entry inclination section. Then, according to the designed curve, directional drilling is carried out to approach the horizontal position, pushing the 12-inch casing along the drilling rod through the 16-inch casing, and continuing until close to the horizontal position. After the casing is lowered, continue drilling according to the designed trajectory until the drill bit emerges from the ground.

Hole Expansion: Hole expansion is carried out using a combination of cutting and bucket-type hole expanders. The cutting-type hole expanders are divided into four levels: Φ450mm, Φ600mm, Φ750mm, Φ900mm, with the outer diameter of the bucket-type hole expanders used in combination being slightly smaller by 50mm.

Pipe Pulling: During pipe pulling, the front end of the pipe is connected to a Φ700mm bucket-type hole expander. Due to the limited layout of the pipe, the pipe needs to be pulled back in five sections, requiring four weldings.

4. Directional Drilling in Complex Formations

The double casing assistance measures, where the 16-inch large casing is mainly used to isolate the complex strata and seawater at the soil entry section, and the small casing is mainly used to limit the bending space of the drilling rod to prevent the drilling rod from breaking. Large drilling rigs can usually use the power head to drive the casing to rotate and advance.

At the same time, two specifications of drilling rods are used in combination: 140 drilling rods in front to improve the inclination efficiency; 168 drilling rods behind to ensure the strength of the bending section of the drilling rod and prevent accidents of drilling rod breakage.

Mud Preparation Plan

Since the project is constructed by the sea, the strata contain more calcium, magnesium, and other ionic components, so the mud additives require pure alkali and caustic soda to remove calcium and magnesium ions from seawater. At the same time, because the strata are interlaced with sand layers and silt layers, the strata stability is poor, so the mud additives also need positive electrostatic glue and wall protection agents to facilitate hole formation and protect the hole wall, with the pumped mud viscosity not less than 50S.

Pipe Segmented Pulling

In ordinary engineering construction, the pipe is尽可能 completed in one pull back. If the pipe is pulled back in segments, it will increase the risk of construction, especially when the strata are complex and the mud performance is not ideal, it is easy to cause hole collapse and pipe clamping accidents.

However, facing more than 1200 meters of rivers, the construction party can only choose to pull back in segments, which requires very high requirements for equipment performance parameters and technological methods.

This pipe pulling is divided into five sections, requiring four weldings. To ensure construction safety, during welding, mud is pumped into the hole every 20-30 minutes to keep the drill hole always full of high-quality mud, effectively preventing the occurrence of hole collapse accidents.

In summary, the engineering machinery industry in Nigeria has broad development prospects but is also full of challenges. Companies need to closely monitor market dynamics, plan development strategies reasonably, and pay attention to risk avoidance to move forward steadily in this industry.

According to official data released by Jamaica, the government’s investment in infrastructure construction has continued to increase in recent years, especially in the construction of roads, bridges and public facilities. The implementation of these projects has not only improved the living standards of the people, but also provided a broad market space for heavy machinery such as excavators. In addition, the booming tourism industry has also promoted the growth of related construction activities, further promoting the prosperity of the excavator industry.
From the perspective of the supply chain of the excavator industry, Jamaica mainly relies on imports to meet its market demand. Internationally renowned brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu and Hitachi have a place in the market. These brands of excavators are favored by Jamaican users for their high efficiency, durability and advanced technology. However, the high cost and maintenance costs of imported equipment have also become a factor restricting the development of the industry.

Despite the cost challenges, the outlook for the Jamaican excavator market remains optimistic. With the government’s commitment to improving productivity and promoting economic development, more infrastructure projects are expected to be launched in the next few years. This will directly drive the demand for excavators and related construction machinery. At the same time, with the advancement of technology, the performance of new excavators has been continuously improved, and they are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, which will also help reduce operating costs and improve the overall competitiveness of the industry.

In addition to infrastructure projects, Jamaica’s mining industry is also an important source of demand for excavators. Mining is an important part of Jamaica’s economy, especially in bauxite and gold mining. As the global market demand for metals grows, Jamaica’s mining industry is expected to expand further, which will bring more opportunities to the excavator industry.

Faced with such a market environment, participants in the Jamaican excavator industry need to adopt strategies to seize development opportunities. First, companies should strengthen cooperation with international manufacturers and introduce more advanced technology and equipment. Second, considering the issue of maintenance costs, companies can enhance customer loyalty by providing training and after-sales services. Finally, companies can also explore the second-hand excavator market to meet the needs of cost-sensitive customers.

In summary, although the Jamaican excavator industry faces some challenges, the overall development prospects are still very optimistic, driven by national infrastructure construction and mining development. By continuously introducing new technologies, improving service quality and expanding market channels, Jamaica’s excavator industry is expected to achieve more stable and sustainable development.

It is worth noting that the development of the industry is also inseparable from policy support and regulation. When formulating relevant policies, the Jamaican government should consider how to balance the relationship between industry development and environmental protection, and ensure that the use of construction machinery such as excavators will not cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment. At the same time, the government should also encourage local companies to participate in the manufacturing and maintenance services of excavators to promote the development of local industries and technology accumulation.

In short, the current development status of Jamaica’s excavator industry shows a strong growth momentum, and the future prospects are full of infinite possibilities. With the continued growth of the national economy and the government’s emphasis on infrastructure construction, the excavator industry will play a more important role in Jamaica’s economic development.

Recently, the concrete lining of the TBM tunnel section of the diversion tunnel of the San Gaván Hydropower Station in Peru was completed, and the construction of the project reached another major milestone. The my country Railway Construction Heavy Industry TBM used in this project is the first open TBM exported by China to South America. During the construction process, it created an excellent record of more than 1,000 meters of footage per month. It has successfully penetrated the tunnel, allowing the Peruvian national flower “Sunflower” painted on the cutter head to bloom perfectly, adding luster to the cooperation and friendship between the two countries.

In March 2020, my country’s first open TBM exported to South America rolled off the production line at China Railway Construction Heavy Industry, and the cutter head was painted with the Peruvian national flower “Sunflower”

The Peruvian San Gaván Hydropower Station is a representative project of the “Belt and Road” initiative in South America and the first power project invested by a Chinese company in Peru. The total installed capacity of the San Gaván Hydropower Station is 209.3 MW, with a designed annual power generation of 1.25 billion kWh. After completion and commissioning, it will greatly promote the optimal allocation of regional water resources and sustainable economic and social development in South America.

The tunnel section length of this project is 9,200 meters, with a designed uphill angle of 3.3% and full-section support required. The working environment is extremely rare. The TBM produced by China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. has overcome difficulties and maintained a very high integrity rate during construction. The equipment has been launched since February 2022. The maximum single-shift footage exceeds 26 meters, the maximum daily footage reaches 46 meters, the highest monthly footage reaches 1007.9 meters, and the average monthly footage is 438 meters. The tunnel was successfully completed in November 2023.

In Latin American and Caribbean countries, in addition to the “sunflowers” blooming in Peru, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.’s tunnel boring machines are also exported to countries and regions such as Chile and Colombia to help local subway and municipal pipeline construction. In addition, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry’s gravel production lines, concrete wet spraying machines, railway turnouts, fasteners, rail grinding wheels and other products have also been exported to Latin American and Caribbean countries.

Content summary:

Chinese and Indian brands account for 80% of the solid tire market, replacing European brands.

Composite’s annual sales of solid tires have increased more than 10 times
95% of Composite’s materials, parts and raw materials come from Russian suppliers.

Trends in the forklift and solid tire market

Composite has decided to start producing solid tires in 2022. Prior to this, the company conducted a comprehensive analysis of the supply and demand of forklifts in Russia, as the solid tire market is a secondary market.

“Currently, the demand for forklifts and solid tires in the Russian market is growing rapidly,” Alexander Kisser pointed out. “After some declines in the market in 2022, when European brands withdrew from the Russian market, the growth rate of forklift imports reached 55% in 2023. This trend continued in 2024, as evidenced by the large number of forklift displays at various Russian exhibitions.”

Another important trend in the market is the increasing demand for electric forklifts, which are more convenient and economical than diesel forklifts. Kisser said that electric forklifts accounted for about 50% of the forklifts imported into Russia in 2023. Correspondingly, the demand for matching tires is also increasing. In line with this trend, Composite launched a new series of tire sizes for electric forklifts in early 2024, and the products have been put on the market.

Speaking about the regional structure of equipment supply in the Russian market, Alexander Kisser pointed out that more than 95% of forklifts come from China. In the solid tire market, Indian and Chinese brands account for more than 80%, replacing European brands.

“There is also an increasing demand for non-marking tires, which do not contain carbon black and leave no marks on the ground,” Kisser said. “These tires are widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries and in any warehouse with high requirements for floor cleanliness. Our product line already includes non-marking solid tires in the corporate orange color, which are very popular with customers.”

“It was only a matter of time before we entered the tire production”

Composite has been engaged in the research and production of wear-resistant rubber products for more than 30 years. The company’s main products are tracks for snowmobiles and construction equipment, pipes and pipe fittings for mining and processing complexes, fluid mechanization, etc.

“We have accumulated a lot of experience in the use of wear-resistant rubber, which is used for machines at different speeds and on different surfaces,” Kisser emphasized. “The purpose of snowmobile and construction machinery tracks is very similar to that of tires, but the structure is much more complex.”

Composite has its own laboratories, scientific research, production and technical departments, and can independently complete product research and development: from customizing the rubber formula for each product to the structural and design characteristics of the product.

“We started developing tires in January 2022, which is our new product,” said Alexander Kisser. “In that period, ‘import substitution’ became a hot word, and it still is. At exhibitions, we often meet representatives from China who ask us to buy their tires. To this, we have only one answer: we are not resellers, but producers.”

Reducing the dependence of Russian manufacturers on foreign suppliers of raw materials remains a pressing issue. In this regard, Composite has achieved remarkable results. Currently, 95% of materials, components and raw materials come from Russian suppliers, and there are no raw materials from unfriendly countries in the products, and solid tires are no exception.

“We can produce alkali-resistant, oil-resistant and gasoline-resistant tires according to customer needs”

When starting production, the company’s employees used high-end brand tires as a model. Pre-production tests lasted about a year, during which the tire structure was continuously improved, the equipment was upgraded, and the best rubber formula for the tire was selected.

“The initial testing took place in our factories and on our own forklifts, which we equipped with our own tires,” says Kisser. “Some of these machines are still using the earliest versions of the tires. Although the working conditions in our factories are not as severe as those of many customers, this is still a good result. At the same time, we have started testing in Belgorod, Lipetsk, Voronezh and Kursk regions. The proximity of these places allows us to quickly go to the test sites, take measurements and make necessary improvements to the tire structure.”

This makes Composite significantly different from its main competitors, which only import solid tires from Asian brands and cannot respond to many customer needs.

Another difference is that we offer a truly effective five-year factory defect warranty and a six-month warranty on tread wear.

All tires currently produced by the company are of three-ply design. Each layer is responsible for strength, elasticity and heat dissipation and is made of different types of rubber. “We produce tires that work in low temperatures and are suitable for northern regions,” Kisser continued. “In fact, we have already provided a batch of tires for a customer for testing, which began last winter and will continue this year and next. We can produce tires that are resistant to alkalis, oils, and gasoline. Customers may also require anti-static tires, which can prevent forklift electronic equipment and battery failures. Composite can meet these needs.”

Sales strategy and market expectations

Compared with the launch of composite solid tires in 2023, our sales have increased more than 10 times. “Regarding sales strategy, as a manufacturer, we first focus on the development of the distribution network,” Kisser emphasized. “Many Russian tire importers have begun to switch to our products instead of Asian brands and gradually reduce tire imports from Asia. It is convenient to work with us: there are no problems with payment, delivery is timely, we are always in touch – the advantages are countless.”

Composite’s head of sales of special equipment products expects the solid tire market to grow rapidly in the next few years, as the number of machines imported into Russia increases year by year.

Asian brands will continue to dominate the market, and the return of European brands is not worth looking forward to. Kisser believes that even if European brands were to return to the market now, their products would not be priced high enough to attract customers. Composite will continue to grow and take market share.

“We will continue to improve our product line, production capacity and, of course, brand awareness,” concludes Alexander Kisser,

“Our goal is to provide the market with high-quality forklift tires that can cope with the most extreme conditions.”

Although the end of the year began in 2024, the global construction machinery industry is still growing at an all-time high, and more growth is expected in the next few years.

This is good news for construction machinery manufacturers and their dealers. However, the future of the industry is definitely different from the past.

Although it needs to go through a slow start process, the era of widespread electrification of equipment is coming. At the same time, accompanied by the global trend of equipment digitization and intelligence, it means that the traditional relationship between construction machinery manufacturers and their customers-and manufacturers and dealers-is about to undergo a fundamental transformation.

1. Electrification, digitalization and business model changes are coming

Dealers are part of the supply chain between manufacturers and customers. They play a key role not only in sales and spare parts, but also in repairing and maintaining equipment. However, the industry is changing in several aspects. US consulting firm ABCG calls it a “triple technology challenge”: electrification, digitalization and business model changes.

It will take years to fully take shape, but construction equipment is transitioning to full electrification. Many electric components have longer lifespans than current mechanical or hydraulic components. When equipment is powered by batteries and electric motors rather than internal combustion engines, this will have a profound impact not only on dealers’ revenue from parts sales, but also on revenue from engine overhaul and rebuild, among many other impacts.

Some manufacturers deal directly with end users by adding customer-facing software to their equipment, and dealers generally do not get a corresponding revenue stream from this software because they cannot add much value.

2. Construction contractors want more digital information

As in all other aspects of our lives, customers are increasingly demanding more and more digital information in terms of technology. Not only large contractors, but also small and medium-sized enterprises want more digital information. For example, positioning, remote operation, remote monitoring, or equipment maintenance and rental needs. These can already be achieved through different platforms, and there is a risk of cutting off dealers (or at least further reducing the relationship between dealers and customers). The increasing use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) software by construction companies and contractors is a good example of how the industry is changing.

This revolution will not happen overnight, but it is likely to be an evolution that will last for a decade or more. In addition, some regions will move faster than others, and emissions regulations will drive the speed of transition. Therefore, dealers should act urgently to adapt to the changes brought about by the “triple technology challenge”. It is not just about training or hiring employees with new skills, which takes time. In addition, new investments need to be evaluated based on future needs.

3. Dealers face many challenges

The key to the strategy is to determine which key functions dealers need to retain in the future, which functions to discard, and which functions need to be developed. But one thing is certain – dealers still need to maintain close contact and mutual trust with customers. Manufacturers and software suppliers may have closer contact with customers through information technology, but they will never be able to establish close personal relationships with customers like local dealers.

Dealers will still have the valuable function of feeding back the “voice of the customer” to manufacturers, and most manufacturers will never have a local “in-depth” understanding of customers and their needs.

Dealers need to develop the new skills needed to continue to gain a foothold in the future industry, and future changes may come faster than we think. The transformation of dealers requires new people and skills to develop new services and digital solutions that will enable dealers to compensate for the lower parts sales, higher labor costs and insufficient equipment profit margins that are inevitable due to the rapid changes in business models.

Better use of digital and artificial intelligence tools can also support sales processes and reduce costs. Providing efficient mobile office support to foreign personnel will become the norm. For example, by remotely monitoring equipment, dealers can arrange all equipment maintenance and repair work in advance.

Most dealers are aware of the challenges they will face. But equally, most companies have not started to develop strategies to ensure that they can remain profitable in the future. If dealers do not want to be eliminated by the business model changes brought about by electrification and digitalization, they must plan their change management plans now and implement them quickly.
