Congratulations to Suzhou Xinlin!

Suzhou Xinlin concluded the year 2020 by taking delivery of two ICE hammers.

Xinlin is driving a market trend that our sales team has been signaling for a while now. Medium sized contractors are moving up the value chain, divesting in excavator hammers that crowd the market and doing projects with longer pile lengths, where their expertise in sheet pile installation, work preparation, and project management has a better place to shine through and offers a better financial payoff as well. After renting hammers for a while, investing in their own fleet prepares these clients to be more competitive as larger players are moving into the market with investments in multiple stock locations. 

The ICE 815C and 55NF that Xinlin chose are in the sweet spot in the ICE product line-up. These two best-selling models are medium sized, with a well-balanced power and weight ratio. These hammer models cover 90% of the market for combi wall, sheet piling (no. 3 sheet piles and up) and trestle bridge projects. Transportable on a 13m truck, with high fuel efficiency and remarkably high uptime, they are money makers.
