The excavation and the movement of earths, in historical minimum registers

That Spain is a country of contrasts is something that also remains evident in the evolution that have experienced the sales of machinery during the last years. After reaching registers envied by all Europe in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, now, and in spite of the mejoría showed in 2011 by some products, find us in a really worrisome situation.

The market of new machinery for the movement of earths and excavation is seeing seriously lastrado by diverse factors. In the first place, by the fall of investment in public work and edificación, in front of the budgetary cuts and the difficulties to find financials for private projects. Second, by the big stock of machinery accumulated during the years of bonanza, that converted to Spain in one of the main destinations of these equipment in the world and that does that it still keep a relatively new park. And in third place, because all those activities in which this type of machinery could look for alternative (quarries, demolición, paisajismo, minería, etc.) neither cross in our country by his best moment.

The perspective in the short term for the market of machinery of excavation neither is very halagüeña
The perspective in the short term for the market of machinery of excavation neither is very halagüeña.

All this does that the data of sales of this type of machinery find today in historical minima. According to the last study of market contributed by the National Association of Distributors and Importing of Machines of Public Works, Minería and Construction (Andicop), the sale of chain excavators in 2011 hardly arrived to the 183 units, registering a descent interanual of 11%. The figure is still more impactante if it compares with the registered four years before, in 2007, when they sold in our country 1.573 chain excavators.

Neither has gone him better to the wheel excavators, that during all the past year remained in some sales of 72 units (an average of 6 units/ month for all Spain), what supposed a fall interanual of 46%. These 72 units suppose something less than 6% of the 1.228 units sold in 2007 and around 10% of the 767 units sold in the year 2000 (this last data contributed by Off-Highway Reseach).

The shovels of wheels of more than 80 CV / 4,6 t, another of the classical products in the works of movement of earths, finished the 2011 with some sales of 247 units, what supposed one of the few rises registered in the study of Andicop, with 2% with regard to the 2010. Well it is true that the big falls of this type of machinery gave in the previous years, with a descent of 63% in 2009 and of 52% in 2008, until leaving already far the 1.438 units sold in 2007. The versions of chains remained in some sales of 2 units for all the year, although it is necessary to signal that it never has been a machine with a big tug in our country (maximum of 55 units in 2005).

In matter of dúmperes, the registers of the 2011 offer the most positive news of the study, with growths interanuales of 250% and of 135% for the versions articulated and rigid, respectively. Even so, the 56 dúmperes articulated sold during the past year suppose 21% of the delivered in 2007, and the 47 rigid, 27% of the reached does hardly four years.

In crawler tractors, in spite of having experienced an increase interanual of 73%, the 26 units of the 2011 suppose a fourth part of the sold in 2007. And in motoniveladores, the descent of 17% experienced in 2011 has left his figure of sales in 19 machines, in front of the 110 of the year 2007.

One of the most significant data of the study is the one of the retrocargadora, the most sold machine in Spain during years, that finished the 2011 with the worst register of the last years, with hardly 274 units (fall interanual of 38%), that bump with the 3.930 of the year 2007 and even with the 3.351 of the year 2000 (data of Off-Highway Reseach).

In compact machinery neither were him better the things to the different equipment studied by Andicop, with falls interanuales of 31% for compact loaders shovels (38 units in 2011 in front of the 136 of the 2007), of 28% for miniexcavators of less than 6 t (307 units vs 2.390 in 2007), of 22% and of 14% for the midichain excavators and wheels respectively (90 and 6 units in front of the 812 and 90 of the 2007) and of 28% for the mini loaders SSL of wheels (247 units in front of the 2.958 of the 2007).
