Excavator wins peruvian clients: from test drive to deal

In Peru, construction folks don’t just need any excavator. They need machines that can handle the Andes’ thin air, the coast’s salty winds, and the Amazon’s mud. When a group of Peruvian clients showed up at our factory, they weren’t here to chat—they wanted to kick the tires, climb in the cab, and see if our mini excavator could keep up with their wild workdays. What they found? A machine built not just to survive Peru, but to thrive there. Let’s break down their visit, from getting hands-on with the controls to figuring out how these excavators solve their biggest headaches.

1. Digging In: Peruvian Operators Take the Excavator for a Spin

The Peruvian crew wasn’t here to watch slideshows. They wanted to drive. So we fired up the mini 3.5t excavator, handed over the keys, and let them put it through its paces—just like they would on a job site back home.

First, we walked through the pre-work checks. We showed them how to pop the hood, check hydraulic fluid (so it doesn’t freeze or boil in Peru’s temperature swings), and tighten track bolts (critical for rocky Andean roads).   They scribbled notes in their notebooks—these guys knew that a 10-minute check could save a 10-hour breakdown in the middle of nowhere.Then came the fun part: moving dirt. The mini digger Machine has this quick-switch tool system—swap from a bucket to a rock hammer in under two minutes. “We lose whole afternoons just switching out parts.”They dug trenches (like for irrigation in Piura), lifted concrete pipes (mimicking city projects), and even busted up a pile of rocks (just like at the mines).Finally, they laughed happily

2.   Built for Peru: How This Mini Crawler Excavator  Beats the Country’s Worst Weather and Terrain

Peru’s no walk in the park for machines. The Andes?  Thin air kills engine power. The coast?  Salt wind rusts metal like crazy. The Amazon? Rain and mud gum up everything. The Peruvian clients wanted to know: Can this excavator survive our country?   We showed them exactly how.

Let’s start with high altitudes. where mines sit at 4,300 meters, most crawler excavator turn into slugs—losing 30% of their power.  Ours? It has a turbo engine that “breathes”better in thin air.  We hooked it up to a simulator, cranked up the altitude, and had Carlos lift a 12-ton block. “Our current machine can barely lift half that up there,”he said, wide-eyed.  This means no more slowing down on mountain roads or mine sites—huge for keeping projects on schedule. Next, rust.  Peru’s coast, where cities like Trujillo sit, is brutal—saltwater spray eats metal alive. The Amazon’s worse: humidity so thick, tools rust overnight. Our small bagger excavator  uses steel that’s basically “marine grade”—the same stuff boats use.  We showed them a side-by-side: a regular excavator part, left out in salt spray for a month, was covered in rust.   Ours?   Still shiny.  

“This isn’t just an excavator,“It’s a Peruvian excavator.”   He was right—this thing was built to handle their world, not some generic job site.

3. More Than a Sale: How We’re Partnering With Peru’s Builders

The clients didn’t just want to buy an small 3.5t excavator.  They wanted a partner—someone who’d be there when a part breaks in the jungle, or when their crew needs training.  That’s where we came in.

First, customization.  Peru’s projects are all different. Carlos needed an excavator with a longer boom for mining.Maria wanted a smaller bucket for tight city jobs.We showed them how we can tweak the machine—no long waits, no crazy fees.

Then, local support.“The worst part of buying from overseas? Waiting for parts,” Carlos said.“A broken hydraulic hose can shut down a mine for a week.”That’s why we’re opening a parts warehouse in Lima—stocked with hoses, filters, and teeth, all ready to ship.

Training was the last piece.  Their crews are good, but new machines need new skills. “Our guys learn by doing, but a little training?  It’ll make them pros,” Carlos said. We even gave them a Spanish manual—no more puzzling over confusing translations.

By the end of the visit, they didn’t just shake hands—they hugged.“You’re in this with us.”They ordered three excavators on the spot, with plans for more.  

If you’re in Peru, tired of machines that quit when the going gets tough, let’s talk. Come see our factory, take an excavator for a spin, and let’s build something that fits your job. We’re not just selling equipment—we’re partnering with Peru to build better, faster, and smarter.
