When it comes to construction machinery and equipment, most people may first think of large-scale or even "indomitable" large-scale equipment, but in recent years, "small" small excavators have gradually become a dark horse in the construction machinery industry. , Taking up an increasing proportion of total sales.

According to data from China Construction Machinery Industry Association, in 2010, the sales of small excavators accounted for about 40%; in 2020, the sales of small excavators accounted for about 60%. In ten years, the sales of small excavators increased rapidly, with a cumulative increase of 20%; 2021 From January to June, the small excavator increased by 18.7% year-on-year, accounting for more than 60%, continuing to lead.

As equipment that is mainly used in municipal construction, farmland water conservancy and other projects that require less earthwork, small excavations can be described as both internal and external repairs and irreplaceable.

1. Low cost and high rate of return

According to calculations, in small earthwork, a small micro-dig can replace the amount of earthwork that about 6 adults work with a shovel and a trolley, and the work efficiency is high; at the same time, the small excavator has the advantage of low price. The increasingly urgent labor market provides a driving force for the expansion of the small and micro digging market.

2. Small, flexible and versatile

The small excavator is small and flexible, with a zero radius of rotation at the tail of the small excavation, which is convenient for transportation and transfer. At the same time, it has a wide range of applicability. It can complete a variety of operations by installing different attachments. It has a wide application width and is suitable for urban pipeline excavation, Foundation construction, public utilities, and house maintenance and other operations.

3. Infinite potential for follow-up growth

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of 2021, the entire industry completed investment in fixed assets of 43.5 billion yuan, and infrastructure investment increased by 7.8% year-on-year. With the repair of municipal facilities and the increase of urban small-scale engineering projects, the demand for small excavations is still strong.

Affected by the previous price wars, the price of small digging continues to fall, and its tool attributes are gradually increasing. Its lower and lower purchase threshold has stimulated some new demand. In some areas, small digging has become a common, common, agricultural vehicle. Self-provided tools, machine substitution in a specific construction environment has a high cost performance.

In summary, as a rising star, small construction machinery is generally welcomed by users in construction. In the context of the replacement of labor by machines and increased investment in the industry, the demand for small excavators will also increase significantly, and will continue to lead the market and show their talents on the stage of construction machinery.
