Shantui claims its machines have been developed with the desert in mind.
Chinese earthmoving specialist Shantui has scored its biggest ever deal in the Middle East.
Shantui has revealed that it is in the process of supplying 205 units to an undisclosed customer in the Middle East.
The Chinese earthmoving specialist said that the order for an array of bulldozers, excavators, wheel loaders and forklifts will be completed by the end of October.
According to Shantui, the deal marks the largest contract signed in the Middle East.
“This is a huge step forward for Shantui in an ever-growing market,” said Jackie Chang, general manager of Shantui’s Dubai subsidiary, covering the Middle East and Northern Africa. “The increased investment in infrastructure has created excellent opportunities for our diversified line of products.”
Shantui, which recently tied up a UAE distribution partnership with Genavco, claims that its latest range of earthmovers have been designed with the desert in mind.
The company says: “The power trains and hydraulics on machinery such as the SD32D and SD42D bulldozers, and now certain Shantui excavators and wheel loaders, are designed to operate in harsh desert sands and temperatures. The dozers come off the production line already configured for desert conditions. A desert version of Shantui’s monster SD52-5 dozer is also under development.”
