A village has bought nearly 300 units of Shantui products: 11 years of continuous use, not bad!

They are mainly engaged in bulldozers equipment, 3/4 of the equipment is a bulldozer, while other roller, excavator, loader only 1/4.

They value the brand of the equipment. 90% of the bulldozers choose the Shantui brand. Excavators choose Caterpillar, Komatsu and other imported brands.

Shantui bulldozers "with Wang" business

This group of people who traveled through major infrastructure projects in Guizhou Province came from Xinghua Village, Yangluo Street, Xinzhou District, Wuhan, Hubei Province. Chen Yongzhou was one of the "leaders."

Bulldozer construction site

Chen Yongzhou, who was nearly 70 years old, had left the village alone to make a living in Bijie, Guizhou, as early as the 1990s. He had driven tractors in his hometown and found that traffic constructions such as Bijie Highway are lagging behind, and because they belong to the mountainous area, the construction of a highway takes 5 times as much time as Wuhan, and the demand for mechanical equipment is very large.

Chen Yongzhou was keenly aware of the prospects for the development of machinery leasing, but was suffering from lack of resources and had been unable to take action. After returning to the village, a fellow villager in the same village hit him and he went to Baoding, Hebei, to purchase 2 used rollers. With the equipment, they came to Bijie, and almost did not make any stop. The two rollers were put into the construction of the local road. “At that time, the machinery and equipment on the Guizhou side was very lacking. As long as there were equipment, whether it was old or new, nothing would be done.” Chen recalled.

11 years of use, not bad

As Chen Yongzhou said, due to the continuous construction of the project, no more than one year, the two rollers will recover their costs. Since then, he has gradually added equipment, but he is more inclined to purchase bulldozers that are frequently used in the mountains and are less competitive. “In the mountain infrastructure project, the former earthworks required the use of a large number of bulldozers. The local bosses who operate the bulldozers are few. The bulldozers' revenue is higher than other equipment. Since then, I have mainly engaged in the lease of bulldozers.” In this regard, Chen Yongzhou said.

After the purchase of bulldozers, Chen Shui-zhou’s mechanical leasing business ushered in a small outbreak, which is even more famous in his hometown. A lot of relatives and fellow villagers began to follow Chen Yongzhou out of the countryside, put down the gimmick, and began to invest in Guizhou's infrastructure. With the increase in income and the increasing popularity of the "Hui Fa Village" army in the local area, Chen Yong Chau felt that the strength of construction equipment should be strengthened and those previously used equipment could not meet the construction needs.

Service visit

Until 2006, Chen Yong Chau decided to purchase a new bulldozer to improve its competitiveness. In brand selection, he chose Shantui without hesitation. “Before I used several brand bulldozers, although they were all second-hand, in contrast, Shantui’s quality, durability, and second-hand residual value were due to several other brands. This time when buying new equipment, I did not go to investigate and I bought a Shanti SD16 bulldozer directly.” Chen said with regard to brand selection.

It is expected that the use of Shantui bulldozers for the first time will make Chen Shui-zhou’s career a new level. He did not have to look for the project himself, because this hill pushed the SD16 bulldozer almost without stopping work, often the project was not completed yet, and the next project was waiting in line. Since then, Chen Yongzhou has never used any other brand bulldozers. Up to now, it also owns 10 sets of SD16, 8 SD22, 1 SD32 bulldozers and 8 SR22 rollers.

Not only that, but under his influence, more than 300 relatives and fellow villagers were engaged in mechanical leasing in Guizhou, with a total of more than 300 mechanical equipment. “ Of these devices, 3/4 of them are bulldozers, and 90% of the bulldozers are Shantui brands. We are so praised for the Shantui, because their equipment can make our business develop better and more. Fast, can create value for us and bring benefits.” For Shantui, Chen Yongzhou and his fellow villagers are extremely recognized.

How solid is it? A bulldozer used for 11 years

Affected by the macro-environment, the pace of infrastructure construction has slowed down, and at the same time, the amount of equipment kept growing, and the machinery construction market in Guizhou has also been affected by no small impact. Aware of this, Chen is also investing more in construction equipment. This will allow his business to continue steadily in adversity. "More equipment, less work, the engineering party to pick good equipment. Even if there is a relationship, a wide network of people, there is no good equipment, still can not get the project." Chen Yong Chau said.

Equipment in construction

According to Chen Yongzhou, in the line of engineering machinery leasing, the quality of mechanical equipment is of utmost importance. If the failure rate is too high, the progress of the project will be delayed and the company’s reputation will be affected. Especially when the market is not good, each project must be completed better and faster. Otherwise it will be difficult to survive, let alone continue to develop.

“The quality of Shantui bulldozers is second to none in China, and I took my first bulldozer for 11 years now. I spent 20,000 hours quickly, and the engine and gearbox have not moved, and I replaced the wheels. The vulnerable parts such as chain link plates and buckets have a very low failure rate.” When talking about the Shantui bulldozers, Chen Yongzhou was not shy. “I’ve done a lot of work since I used my first brand new Shantui bulldozer. To be honest, our gangs can make our business bigger, and Shantui bulldozers do a lot of work."

In addition to quality, for the individual owner, the equipment residual value is also a factor that they value very much. Chen Yong Chau told us that the used hill push bulldozer is very tight, and the price is higher than other brands. “Our fellow villagers also have cheap plans to buy and buy other brands of bulldozers. When they buy a ton-class car, they do have to be cheaper. However, after spending a few years, the transfer price can only reach half of the price of Shantui, and it is still not easy to sell. Now, we, relatives, fellow villagers, and bulldozers have chosen Shantui, and we rarely buy other brands."

It was out of recognition of Shantui bulldozers that Chen Yongzhou and his fellow villagers also used a lot of Shantui road rollers. “The hill push roller is also very good to use. We use it a lot. The engineering approval is good equipment. We also have some excavators, all of which are imported Caterpillar and Komatsu brands. In the case of the machine, chances are that we will try it.” It is not difficult to see that Chen Yongzhou is very much concerned with the brand of equipment. (This article comes from Shantui)
