The "Future Equation" of Global Construction Machinery
High - end, intelligent and green development are the core tenets of new - quality productivity. At this construction machinery exhibition, these three development concepts run through all aspects of the exhibition. From the display of cutting - edge technologies to the construction of industrial ecology, from the release of innovative products to the discussion of future trends, they comprehensively outline the "future equation" for the construction machinery industry to move towards high - end, intelligent and green development.
Caterpillar, the world's No. 1 manufacturer of construction machinery, launched 10 categories of a new generation of mechanical equipment at this exhibition. This hydraulic excavator, specially designed for the mining field, is equipped with a 4.5 - cubic - meter heavy - duty bucket, which enables it to easily dig and provide greater output, making it a leader among similar products. Combined with the geographical and topographical characteristics of Hunan, they have also introduced excavator equipment such as amphibious and driverless ones according to local conditions.
Li Xiaozheng, General Manager of Sime Darby Xinchang Machinery Engineering (Hunan) Co., Ltd., a Caterpillar distributor, said: "This exhibition also showcases a 350 kW loader, which can basically ensure 7-8 hours of use on a single charge."
Industry giants lead by example, while small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) pursue innovation and excellence. Thanks to their outstanding product performance, the complete set of intelligent underground engineering equipment brought by exhibitor Lanhai Intelligence has gained favor from many customers. Take the arch frame and anchor integration trolley as an example: its tunnel rock drilling efficiency has increased by over 30% compared to traditional construction equipment. One piece of this equipment integrates the functions of an "arch frame trolley, anchor bolt trolley, and grouting machine."
Wei Min, Deputy General Manager of Hunan Lanhai Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., said: "In traditional tunnel construction, each process is carried out by different equipment. After one process ends, the equipment withdraws, and the equipment for the next process enters. However, our arch-anchor trolley integrates three functions. Currently, we have signed nearly 30 million yuan in orders through the exhibition. The double-folded arm rock drilling trolley and arch-anchor trolley displayed on site will be directly delivered to customers after the exhibition."
Unlike intelligent robots still in their infancy, the construction machinery industry is striding into an era of intelligence and unmanned operation. In the emergency rescue equipment exhibition area, Sunward Intelligence displayed a compact demolition robot, a "versatile demolition expert" equipped with hydraulic hammers, buckets, hydraulic shears and other attachments. Staff can remotely operate it from two kilometers away to achieve unmanned operations in narrow and restricted spaces.
Zhang Daqing, Deputy General Manager of Sunward Intelligence Equipment Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Sunward Intelligence Special Equipment Co., Ltd., said: "The demolition robot is equipped with a three - joint mechanical arm in the front. The three - joint arm is more like a human arm, allowing a wider operation range. Among the same type of tonnage, it is the narrowest, with a width of only 1.35 meters. It is also suitable for urban underground spaces, including tunnel collapse rescue and pipeline construction."
Through this exhibition, it is not difficult to see that high-end, intelligent and green development are becoming the mainstream trends in the global construction machinery industry. This is not only the guidance of market demand iteration and upgrading, but also the only way for the industry to break through development bottlenecks and achieve sustainable growth in the future. Only by actively embracing change and accelerating technological innovation and industrial upgrading can enterprises gain a first-mover advantage in global competition and lead the construction machinery industry towards a new journey of high-quality development.
Song Gongcheng, President of Bomag China, said: "Traditional indicators such as comfort, durability and high efficiency will still exist, but on this basis, we may increasingly consider new energy methods and new technologies in intelligent control and driverless operation to free people from heavy labor."
