Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

At the machinery and equipment exhibition of the Canton Fair in the spring of 2004, Xingyuan launched a big guy - amphibious excavator.

That is, the boat excavator can be used amphibiously, and can be used in land, swamp soft mud and shallow water areas, and has a wide range of applications.

Ship excavators have very high requirements on hydraulic systems and power systems. At present, there is no domestic manufacturer of ship excavators. The existing domestic products are all imported from Germany and Japan, and the prices are high.

Although it has a wide range of applications, due to its high price, its operating efficiency on land is not as good as that of ordinary excavators. When encountering more complicated operating environments, it is usually replaced by long-arm excavators, so the sales volume is actually not large.

This is also the reason why there is no domestic construction machinery company to produce.

However, the appearance of the ship excavator still attracted the attention of many people. Being able to make such a product is enough to prove the strength of Xingyuan.

Although it has attracted a lot of attention, there are very few orders for ship excavators. Only an excavator rental company in Zhengzhou placed an order because it will be used for dredging the Yellow River in winter.

Tao Yang asked Yuan Xia with some doubts: "Mr. Yuan, this sales volume is so low, I'm afraid it won't be able to earn back the research and development expenses we invested in. Why do you want to do it?"

Yuan Xia said: "Then sell it slowly. Since this thing can be designed, it means it has a purpose. Sometimes it's better to take a long-term view and be more patient."

Tao Yang nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Yuan Xia's words were confirmed.Before the exhibition ended, the boat excavator displayed by Xingyuan was bought by a local excavator leasing company in Guangzhou, and they couldn't wait for the end of the exhibition to tow the boat excavator away.

Yuan Xia was not at the scene at that time, and was drinking tea with an old customer, and received a call from Qin Lin: "Yuangong, someone wants to buy our ship excavator, and it will be towed away soon, saying that it is urgent. But the exhibition is not over yet. ah."

Yuan Xia was very surprised and said in amazement: "Drag away now?"

"Yes. They had several excavators stuck on a construction site, and four of them couldn't get out, and the long-arm excavator didn't work, so they came to the exhibition to buy a boat excavator." Qin Lin couldn't bear it when he said this Laughed.

Yuan Xia said: "Oh, then I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xia said to the customer: "Mr. Fang, I have to go back to the exhibition center. A customer bought an excavator from us, and he wanted it in stock. You drink slowly, and I will buy it alone."

Mr. Fang said: "Pick up the goods now? Are you in such a hurry?" Generally speaking, customers are not willing to buy exhibits, and they hope to get brand new products. Although the exhibits are also new, they always feel that they are not so interesting.

Yuan Xia explained with a smile: "It seems that four excavators are stuck, and they can't get up, so they have to use the ship's machine to dig."

"Is it local?" Mr. Fang also runs a construction machinery leasing company and has bought machines in Xingyuan for many years.

Yuan Xia shook his head: "I don't know where it is, so I didn't ask. It should be from Guangdong, otherwise I wouldn't want to pick up the stock."

Mr. Fang said: "I'll go and see with you." He has been running a leasing company for many years, and it is really rare that four excavators get stuck in one go. It is very lively. If you are close, you can go and see.

Yuan Xia did not refuse: "Okay."

When he arrived at the exhibition center, Qin Lin was communicating with customers. What Qin Lin meant was that the exhibition was still two days away, and he would deliver it there in person after the exhibition was over.

The customer disagreed, saying that it would be done today, and those excavators would sink deeper and deeper, and if they were left for two days, the engines and hydraulic pumps would be filled with mud.

Yuan Xia hurriedly asked about the situation, the construction site was in Guangzhou, a high-rise building was going to be built in a depression next to the Pearl River, and the soft mud on the surface had to be cleared out.

I was also worried that the mud would be too soft and easy to sink, so I used a relatively light small excavator. Who knew that the small excavator also sank while digging.

I had no choice but to drive a medium-sized excavator to pull it, because this kind of horsepower was enough, but this one also got stuck.

So another medium-sized excavator was called to go, but this one also sank into it. This depression was completely an excavator black hole.Those who went in couldn't get out, and they were stuck all day.I tried various methods, including the long-arm excavator, but it didn't work, and I almost folded it myself.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the owner of the leasing company remembered the boat excavator he saw at the Canton Fair and said it was suitable for swampy land, so he came to the Canton Fair to buy a boat excavator because it was in stock.

After shopping around, the boss decided to buy Xingyuan’s boat excavator. First of all, his house was the cheapest, and secondly, there was a more critical point, that is, Xingyuan’s location was close to the exit of the exhibition hall, so the boat excavator was easier to move out.Not to mention the expensive ship excavators of other companies, there are still layers of machines around, and it is definitely a big project to move them out.

After understanding the situation, Yuan Xia said: "No problem, let's drive away. Make a delivery order for the customer, and drive away after payment. Is the boss going to pay in installments or settle it all at once?"

The boss said: "One time. The installment payment procedure is too troublesome. I am in a hurry to use the car, so I just swipe the card." More than 100 million machines, one-time payment, the owner of the car rental company is really rich.

Seeing that the other party was so forthright, Yuan Xia hurriedly prepared to sign the contract, and he even sent someone to find a flatbed truck to deliver the ship excavator to this customer.

Another customer always said: "Boss, where is your excavator stuck? Is it far from here?"

The other party looked at him: "Want to go and have a look? It's not very far, just in Haizhu District."

Boss Fang asked Yuan Xia with great interest: "Boss Yuan, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Okay." In fact, this kind of situation is really rare, and it's just a good time to go and see the effect of your own excavator to see if there is any improvement in the future.

Soon, Yuan Xia arranged for people to move the boat excavator out and put it on a flatbed truck.Then I went to the scene of the accident with the customer's car, and I also brought Xiao Zhong, a technician who specializes in machine testing, to be the driver.

When they arrived at the construction site, there were still people working hard to rescue the sunken excavators. The fuselage of the one that got sunk first was already half sunk. It was said that it got sunk yesterday. By tomorrow, it is estimated that the whole fuselage They're all going to sink in.

Although the condition of the few machines outside was a little better, they were still in a state of embarrassment, stuck in the mud and unable to climb up, and signs of struggle could be seen everywhere.

Someone drove a large dump truck and was using a steel cable to try to pull the mud out of the sunken excavator.But obviously, an 18-ton dump truck cannot pull a 30-ton excavator at all.

Seeing the arrival of the boat excavator, the onlookers became excited: "Reinforcement is here, rescue is here. Fuck, it's such a big excavator, this one will definitely save us."

"It's hard to say. If such a big guy sinks in, it will be finished. It can only be moved out if it has to be dismantled. It will look good."

"The brand new large excavator looks different from ordinary ones."

"I've seen it in other places. This is a boat excavator, amphibious, specially designed to deal with this kind of muddy ground. I think it can be saved."

"Really? Hurry up, there's a good show to watch."

Not to mention, there were quite a lot of people watching the excitement, there were hundreds of people, all of them were men.Probably men are naturally interested in machines, and when this kind of thing happens, they will feel sorry for themselves if they don't join in the fun.

The dump truck was driven at full power until black smoke came out, but it still couldn't shake the mud.Seeing the reinforcements coming, he stopped quickly, untied the cables, and made way for the boat excavator.

Yuan Xia said to Xiao Zhong, the technician: "Xiao Zhong, there should be no problem, right?"

Xiao Zhong put on gauze gloves and said, "No problem, Mr. Yuan. We came out even softer than this in our previous tests."

The contractor on the construction site, the owner of the leasing company, Yuan Xia and Xiao Zhong studied the rescue plan together, which was to help dig up the surrounding mud, clear the way for the excavators, and let them drive up by themselves.

Xiao Zhong got on the boat excavator, got off the flatbed truck, and drove steadily into the muddy field.Although it is a large-tonnage guy, the muddy ground is pressed and there are obvious signs of sinking, but it does not affect its stability and flexibility at all, as if it is floating on the mud. This is the advantage of a boat excavator. Wide, the force surface is large enough.

When he arrived at the right place, Xiao Zhong dug with the excavator closest to the shore.

The boat excavator has a large bucket and sufficient power, so it digs quickly. After ten minutes, a safe passage was cleared for the first excavator.

Seeing that the mud was almost clear, the driver who was stuck in the car quickly climbed back into the cab, started the excavator, stepped up the accelerator, stepped back, and moved!

Cheers erupted from the crowd of onlookers: "It's moving, it's moving, it can finally come out. This big excavator is awesome!"

Soon, the first excavator retreated to a safe place, and the tracks were already filled with mud.

However, the driver was not in a hurry to clean his car, but stopped to watch the boat excavator continue to dig out the other three machines.

Xiao Zhong drove the boat excavator and moved forward a little bit. The mud here was even worse, but it still stood firmly on the mud surface, ruthlessly digging up the mud, digging up the thin mud one by one, and put it on the ground. to the other side.

The hardness of this depression is moderate on the surface, and the crawler excavator has a large force surface. Under normal circumstances, it will not sink into it. The bad thing is that it is next to the Pearl River. There is plenty of groundwater, and the ground has never been dry. The mud on the ground is much softer than the surface layer, so it sinks as you dig.

Xiao Zhong dug for more than half an hour, cleared all the mud around the excavator, and dug more than one meter deep into the soft mud underground, finally clearing a passage for the second excavator.

Amid the cheers of the people, the second excavator finally struggled out of the mud safely.

When the second machine was dug out, the contractor who was watching the excitement finally came to his senses, and discussed with Xiao Zhong: "Master, you have to dig mud anyway, so why not help us load the truck by the way."

Xiao Zhong said: "You have to ask the boss, I'm just here to help dig the car."

The contractor hurriedly negotiated with the owner of the car rental company, and rented their boat to dig the mud pit. The two negotiated the price, and Xiao Zhong helped to load the car by the way.

It took more than two hours for the two deep excavators in the back to dig out.The excavator that got stuck in the first place couldn’t be started. It was Xiao Zhong who pulled it out of the mud with a bucket. It was still dragged away with a steel cable.

The boat excavator killed the Quartet all the way, as if walking on the ground, it was so handsome that it made a big splash.

The onlookers all admired him, what a domineering guy, he is so handsome!
