As a right-hand man for engineering construction, dump trucks are fiercely competitive in this subdivision field, and new products are constantly being launched. Presumably, when you choose a model, you find that the homogeneity is very serious. Let me tell you how to choose a sharp tool that suits you from 5 aspects.
One. Clarify the purpose of own car purchase
Dump trucks are widely used in the engineering field due to their good power, passability and convenience of loading and unloading. Its use is nothing more than three aspects:
1. Urban construction waste: transport excavation soil, silt, demolition and construction waste, decoration spoil and solid waste. At present, 6×4 vehicles are mainly used, and in some economically developed areas with long transportation distances, short wheelbase 8×4 vehicles are mainly used;
2. Mine transportation: short-term transfer of earthwork and ore resources, transfer of construction raw materials during large-scale infrastructure construction, currently mainly 6×4 vehicles;
3. Road transportation: Mainly transport sand and gravel, coal, and mineral semi-finished products, with a transportation radius of no more than 200km, mainly in 8×4 vehicles.
As the industry becomes more and more subdivided, the vehicle configurations of different users are quite different. Before buying a car, it is necessary to clarify the purpose of the vehicle. If you buy a car blindly, there will be problems such as insufficient power, high fuel consumption, too small cargo box, and too slow speed, which will affect the actual income of users.
For example, urban construction muck vehicles will face the problem of insufficient power in the field of mine transportation, and in the field of road transportation, they will face the problem that the cargo box is too small and the speed is too slow.
Two. Determine your car budget
The price of models with the same purpose will vary greatly due to different configurations. Heavy-duty truck manufacturers will have high-end models and low-end models in a single market segment to meet different customer needs. For example, Sinotruk has its high-end models in urban construction, mining, and road transportation. Shandeka, mid-range HOWO models, and low-end Steyr and Haohan models.
Hongyan has King Kong M500 and Jess C500 in the field of urban construction muck; Auman has two models in the field of road transportation, ETX and GTL; Shaanxi Automobile has X3000 and F3000 in the field of mining self-unloading.
Generally speaking, high-end models are much higher than lower-end models in terms of comfort, power, carrying capacity, and safety. Therefore, try to choose high-end models within your budget. After all, high-end models will have higher post-production income and residual value of used cars.
Three. Determine your car brand
After clarifying the purpose and budget of your own car purchase, the next step is to determine the brand of the car to be purchased. Since the operation area of the dump truck is relatively fixed, you can observe and inquire at the construction site, mining area and surrounding areas that you need to enter to determine the brand.
Mainly check what brands of vehicles are used in the local area, because only this type of vehicle can get more "care" in the local area.
For example, dealers offer preferential financial services, service stations have abundant maintenance spare parts, government supervision is convenient for network access, fleet networking and unified supervision, etc. Do not rush to buy other brands to become "alternative" in the area, which will make your vehicle "difficult to move" in the area.
Four. Determine your vehicle configuration
After confirming the brand, go to the 4S store and the dealer to talk, enter the store for consultation, test drive, and experience the condition of the relevant vehicle. At this time, you only need to talk to the dealer about the configuration, price and delivery time. Remember, the delivery time must be discussed.
In terms of configuration, the configuration of the assembly and local laws and regulations must be consistent with the main sales models in the region. The configuration of the assembly mainly refers to the engine model, gear position of the gearbox and the speed ratio of the rear axle. Because the driving conditions of the dump truck are relatively harsh and complicated, do not choose a new engine or a rear axle with a smaller speed ratio, which will cause troubles in the later operation.
In addition, we must also be wary of dealers adding many irrelevant configurations, such as MP5 screens, sunroofs, independent heaters, fuel anti-theft, inverter power supplies, etc. Don’t give them away for free, it’s better to convert them into car prices or maintenance.
In terms of price, dealers generally have 10% points, and you can go to several more dealers. Generally, you can buy from strategic dealers instead of first-level purchases, and you can buy from first-level dealers.
In terms of delivery time, due to the "centralized explosive start" this year, there will be a climax of centralized procurement after the resumption of work by various units, and the production schedule will take a long time, so the delivery time must be clearly written in the contract.
Summary: Major highway projects, railway projects, infrastructure construction, and water conservancy projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood will be started intensively, and dump trucks will form a "short-term blowout" demand.
