Recently, a batch of brand-new SHANTUI 12-ton all-hydraulic single-drum road rollers have been shipped to Russian, following the export of 14-ton hydraulic road roller last month. The demand for all-hydraulic rollers in the Russian market has increased sharply over the years. Shantui’s main sales models in this market are mechanical rollers. Faced with fierce market competition, SHANTUI works hard to overcome the unfavorable factors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, strengthens communication with Russian agents and keeps close communication with the decision-makers by regular video conferences, to expand the promotion of all-hydraulic road rollers.  The export of 12-ton full hydraulic rollers to the Russian market has great significance for the competitiveness of SHANTUI brand in the local market.

Recently, SUNWARD’s first large-scale purely electric hydraulic excavator SWE550FE has rolled off the production line. It took only 33 days from design to trial production with unremitting efforts of SUNWARD project team. SWE550FE is the first large-scale electric hydraulic excavator independently developed by SUNWARD, which mainly meets the needs of electric excavators in the medium and large opencast mining market. The whole excavator is driven by an AC motor, featuring zero emissions, low noise, low vibration, strong reliability and long service life. It also has an intelligent independent hydraulic oil cooling system, which can effectively reduce temperature and noise. New energy has always been an important direction for the development of construction machinery. Over the years, SUNWARD has constantly seek breakthroughs in green energy-saving technologies and successively developed low-pollution and high-efficiency products.

On August 5, ZOOMLION held a new product launch conference of its V series medium and small tonnage crawler cranes. The press conference combined elements such as "Expert Salon Forum", "Product Light Show", "Rock Music Festival". The products launched by ZOOMLION this time cover 55-90-ton telescopic boom and 55-500-ton crawler cranes, which are suitable for foundation construction, trestle construction, shield construction, bridge construction and wind power maintenance.  Four small-tonnage crawler cranes have the same characteristics: strong lifting performance, high working efficiency, comfortable operation, first-class configuration, and convenient use.  Three medium-tonnage cranes use modular design, equipped with stable and reliable WEICHAI engines. They can realize complete self-loading and unloading of left and right crawler frames, and the quick connection of the boom. The transportation width is no more than 3m, meeting the global transportation requirements. Electric-hydraulic components have a high commonality rate, which have been verified by the market for long-term reliability. For the newly released ZCT550V and ZCT900V, flexible transformation of the telescopic boom of a wheel crane and the ability of a crawler crane to travel on load are both included.

Following the batch export of large-scale mining equipment to Australia, XCMG exports its large-tonnage cranes to Australia in large numbers, marking that XCMG's series of construction machinery is getting much more popular in the high-end market of Australia. At a bustling deep-water port in China, several cranes of XCMG, wearing blue “armour", are being successively hoisted to the giant freighters, ready to be launched and about to sail. These XCMG cranes include crawler type, rough-terrain type and all-terrain type. We can find the Model XCA220 that General Secretary Xi Jinping tested when he inspected XCMG on December 12, 2017. As the high-end market of construction machinery, Australia has higher quality requirements in product performance, safety, operator comfort, reliability and maintenance convenience. In recent years, XCMG has gained a lot in this high-end construction machinery market with its great perseverance and excellent product quality and technology.  It is said that all the cranes are customized in accordance with the local standards of Australia. The color, style and parts are also designed as required. XCMG hoisting machinery with high technology and high reliability will be able to make an outstanding figure in Australia's construction machinery industry, and demonstrate its extraordinary skills of “Made in China” is helping local infrastructure construction.

Caterpillar recently announced the launch of its new generation of 600-tonne hydraulic mining shovel excavator with various design improvements and new components, which can improve the performance, durability, maintainability and operation comfort. Caterpillar's new 600-tonne hydraulic mining shovel excavator has replaced its 6060B in the hydraulic mining shovel excavator lineup, featuring updated engine, optimized hydraulic system, heavy duty structure and chassis, Caterpillar's electronic device and advanced cab. Caterpillar said one of the new generation of mining shovel excavators would run at the Quellaveco mine in Peru, which is being developed by Anglo American plc. At the same time, for the North American market, the engine of this product is equipped with a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst emission control system, does not use diesel exhaust fluid and complies with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 Final regulations. Compared with the previous models, the combination of the updated engine and the optimized hydraulic system improves the fuel efficiency by 10-15%, with the efficiency of the backhoe configuration increasing by 3-5%. To reduce maintenance, the engine oil and filter change interval has doubled to 1,000 hours. The upgrading of the structure, chassis and slew ring helps maximize uptime, productivity and lower costs per ton. "The 6060 features a brand-new, state-of-the-art cab and operator's desk, with large floor window, windshield and side windows providing industry-leading visibility,” Caterpillar said. 6060 accept Cat MineStar™ solutions, a mining technology designed to improve mine safety, improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. In addition to the new-generation diesel 6060, Caterpillar will continue to provide electric 6060 AC FS for mines optimized for such machines.
