Dragline Excavators Market: Introduction
- A dragline excavator, sometimes known as dragline, is a machinery used in large-scale applications including surface mining, canal dredging, port development, and other civil construction activities. Dragline excavators are usually smaller in size, and look like a crane. Draglines use a bucket system to dig materials by boring the bucket along the material’s surface using chains and wire ropes.
Key Drivers of the Global Dragline Excavators Market
- Rapid urbanization and increasing investment in infrastructure development are driving the demand for dragline excavators across the globe. Construction companies increasingly prefer advanced machineries and tools for efficient execution of their projects. Private builders and government authorities use high-performance construction equipment to meet the infrastructure needs of emerging metropolitan areas.
- Most manufacturers are providing a variety of attachments for braking, crushing, deep digging, and loading of different types of materials as well as soft soil zones to augment the usage of dragline excavators in a wide range applications. Key brands are developing bespoke solutions to cater to varied customer needs as the selection of an excavator depends on the volume of material to be moved and other production requirements.
Global Dragline Excavators Market - Key Trends
- Dragline excavator manufacturers are focusing on aggressive promotion of dragline excavators featuring a range of attachments such as clean-up bucket, digging bucket, ditch cleaning bucket, and concrete slab buckets.
- Key competitors are directing huge investment in design and technology to attain operational superiority in excavator engines, hydraulic systems, and attachment. This in turn contributes to increased productivity and fuel-efficiency. For instance, Hitachi Construction Equipment incorporated an original “Hitachi hydraulic system” (The Optimum Hydraulic system) in its EX Super+ Series excavators to enable the adoption of the system in varied applications such as general purpose, quarry applications, and marshy underfoot conditions.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Dragline Excavators Market
