No Hex on the HEX Market Growth Fuels Choices

摘要

With more than a dozen suppliers offering units, the 60,000- to 80,000-pound segment of the crawler excavator market has no shortage of model choices—and scenarios to ponder during the buying decision. Chuck Yengst, president of Yengst Associates, Wilton, Connecticut, says sales for the category have improved 15 percent, year-over-year. "For 2017, it was about 5,700 units sold, and for 2018 the estimated level of sales will be roughly 6,500 units," Yengst says. "This segment of the hydraulic excavator market accounts for about 20 percent of total industry sales."
