There is a huge demand for excavators in infrastructure construction and engineering projects in the Middle East, and modern excavators are very popular in the region for many reasons.
Modern excavators have a high cost-effectiveness. Under the premise of ensuring quality and performance, their prices are relatively reasonable, allowing engineering contractors and construction companies in the Middle East to obtain reliable and high-performance equipment while controlling costs, thereby improving the economic benefits of the project.
Its quality is also quite reliable. It adopts advanced technology and manufacturing processes, has a sturdy and durable structure, and can operate stably in the harsh construction environment and high-intensity working conditions in the Middle East. For example, the Hyundai R205VS excavator uses a six-cylinder engine and imported hydraulic parts, with mature and stable performance, a rated power of 124kW, sufficient power, and is also equipped with Hyundai Heavy Industries IPC and VPC intelligent fuel-saving technologies, which can control unnecessary fuel consumption losses, and at the same time improve work efficiency by optimizing the internal structure of the main valve and the structure of the arm cylinder. Modern excavators are versatile and have a variety of models to meet the needs of various complex projects. In August 2024, Hyundai Heavy Industries signed a cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia Engineering General Contracting Company to provide it with 100 Develon brand excavators and wheel loaders, all of which will be used in the ring road project in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The project is complex in design and the local extreme weather has extremely high requirements for equipment, which also proves the excellent performance of Hyundai excavators.
One of the reasons for its popularity is the high-quality after-sales service. In the Middle East, dealers of Hyundai excavators usually provide comprehensive after-sales service support, including equipment installation and commissioning, maintenance, parts supply, and operator training. Timely and professional after-sales service can ensure the normal operation of the excavator, reduce downtime and economic losses caused by equipment failure, and provide users with greater convenience and security.
In addition, the active second-hand market also contributes to the popularity of Hyundai excavators in the Middle East. Many second-hand dealers provide users with more choices. These second-hand equipment have been strictly inspected and refurbished, with certain quality guarantees and relatively low prices. For some users with limited budgets or some short-term, specific project needs, second-hand Hyundai excavators are very attractive. Moreover, some reputable second-hand dealers will also provide certain after-sales guarantees to make buyers feel more at ease.
In summary, the popularity of modern excavators in the Middle East is due to their high cost-effectiveness, reliable quality, diverse functions, high-quality after-sales service and active second-hand market. Of course, different brands of excavators have their own market share in the Middle East, and market competition has prompted each brand to continuously improve the quality of products and services to better meet the diverse needs of users.
