INTRODUCTION Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for

executing construction tasks, most frequently ones involving earthwork. They are also known as, construction equipment, construction plant, earth movers, engineering vehicles, or simply equipment. They usually comprise five equipment systems: implement traction, structure, power train, control and information. Heavy equipment functions through the mechanical advantage of a simple machine, the ratio between input force applied and force exerted is multiplied. Currently most equipment use hydraulic machinery as a primary source of transmission. HISTORY The use of heavy equipment has a long history; the ancient Roman engineer Vitruvius (1st century BCE) his gave descriptions architectura. of heavy The pile

Rome in

treatise De

driver was invented around 1500. The first tunneling shield was patented by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1818. From horses, through steam, to diesel Until the 19th century and into the early 20th century heavy machines were drawn under human or animal power. With the advent of portable steam-powered engines the drawn machine precursors were reconfigured with the new engines, such as the combine harvester. The design of a core tractor evolved around the new steam power source into a new machine core traction engine, that can be configured as the steam tractor and the steamroller. the During major the 20th century, internal-combustion source were used, of but heavy today diesel

engines became

power

equipment. Kerosene, ethanol and gasoline engines

engines are dominant. Mechanical transmission was in many cases replaced by hydraulic machinery. The early 20th century also saw new electric-powered machines such as the forklift. Caterpillar Inc. is a present-day brand from these days, starting out as theHolt Manufacturing Company. The first mass-produced heavy machine was the Fordson tractor in 1917.

The first commercial continuous track vehicle was the Lombard Steam Log Hauler from 1901. Tracks became extensively used for tanks during World War I, and after the war they became commonplace for civilian machinery such as the bulldozer. The largest engineering vehicles, and the largest mobile land machines altogether, are bucketwheel excavators, built from the 1920s. "Until almost the twentieth century, one simple tool constituted the primary earthmoving machine: the hand shovel - moved with animal and human powered, sleds, barges, and wagons. This tool was the principal method by which material was either sidecast or elevated to load a conveyance, usually a wheelbarrow, or a cart or wagon drawn by a draft animal. In antiquity, an equivalent of the hand shovel or hoe and head basket and masses of menwere used to move earth to build civil works. Builders have long used the inclined plane, levers, and ignorant to place solid building materials, but these labor-saving devices did not lend themselves to earthmoving, which required digging, raising, moving, and placing loose materials. The two elements required for mechanized earthmoving, then as now, were an independent power source and off-road mobility, neither of which could be provided by the technology of that time." Container cranes were used from the 1950s and onwards, and

made containerization possible. TYPES & USES

The Different Types of Construction Equipment If you're in the construction industry or are interested in starting your own construction organization, it's important to understand the many different types of construction equipment available so that you know what you need for your specific purposes. Construction equipment ranges from the very large and heavy to the light and portable, and each piece of equipment serves a useful purpose. However, you may only need a few pieces of construction equipment to meet your needs. The following article describes some of the most popular types of construction equipment that you can buy for a variety of uses that range from farm work to deconstruction to building projects.

Engineering equipment with a front bucket/shovel and a small backhoe in the rear combined with a tractor is known as backhoe loader. It is mostly used in small construction sites and in urban engineering such as fixing city roads. A crawler, which is very powerful and attached with a blade, is called a bulldozer. Even though any heavy engineering vehicle is known as bulldozer, it is actually a tractor with a dozer blade. Combat engineering vehicles are used for engineering work in the battlefield and for transporting sappers. They are mostly armored vehicles. A compact excavator is a wheeled or tracked vehicle with a backfill blade and swing boom. It is also known as mini excavator. The functions and movements of the machines are carried out by transferring hydraulic fluid. This makes a compact hydraulic excavator different from other construction equipment. Find more info at

To compact gravel, dirt, asphalt and concrete in construction work and road laying a road roller which is also known as roller-compactor would be used. A motorized cultivator with a rotating blade to work in the soil is known as rotary tiller. They are either drawn behind a tractor or self-propelled. A crane is a derrick or tower equipped with pulleys and cables for lowering and lifting materials. The cranes used in construction industry are mostly temporary structures. Dragline excavation systems are heavy equipment mostly used in surface mining and civil engineering. The smaller type of dragline excavator is used for port and road construction. The larger type dragline excavator is used in strip-mining operations for coal extraction. In the building industry, to make foundations, a drilling machine is used. It is also used in oil wells and water wells. An excavator commonly known as a digger is an engineering vehicle, with a cab mounted on a rotating platform or pivot, and a backhoe on top of an undercarriage with wheels or tracks.

In untamed regions which are being reclaimed for construction, a feller buncher, a machine having an attachment, which fells trees, is used. A forklift, lift truck or forklift truck is an industrial truck used to pick up and transport heavy material using steel forks under the material to be lifted. The most common usage of a forklift is to move materials stored on pallets. A loader also known as a bucket loader, front-end loader, scoop loader, shovel, or front loader is a type of tractor using buckets, which can be tilted to lift and move material. Skid Steer First of all, skid steers are a general term that describe a variety of equipment that are all characterized by a specific type of steering called skid steering. A skid steer is maneuvered through a system of braking and engaging the tracks or wheels on one side of the vehicle. The wheels on the side are in a fixed condition, and the driver moves the vehicles by literally making the wheels skid.

Because of their special driving method, skid steers are known for being capable of turning tightly and adeptly pivoting. And a person can purchase a variety of attachments for a skid steer in order to make it perform a variety of functions including jack hammering, loading, digging, and moving. Skid steers are also known for being particularly durable which is why many choose to purchase used skid steers. Used skid steers can perform all of the same functions as a new skid steer, but they cost significantly less. Crane The crane is another popular piece of construction equipment that is mainly used for deconstruction. Cranes are operated by a series of cables that lower and lift materials and are mainly used on projects dealing with temporary structures. Backhoe Loader A backhoe loader is a type of construction equipment that has a front bucket or shovel and a small backhoe in the rear. And the entire piece of equipment is combined with a tractor. A backhoe loader has a comparatively small frame which allows the driver to have more control over its movement. Because of its relatively small size and easy maneuverability, the backhoe loader is great for small construction projects. It works well in urban areas for projects such as road repair. In fact, they are one of the most popular types of construction vehicles used in urban areas. Crawler The crawler is another type of construction vehicle and is also called a bulldozer (as are all heavy engineering vehicles). A crawler is essentially a tractor that has a dozer blade attached to it. Crawlers are powerful vehicles commonly used for a variety of bigger construction projects. Loader A loader is another type of construction vehicle that is also known as a bucket loader, front-end loader, scoop loader, or front loader. Essentially, a loader is a tractor that uses a front mounted square bucket connected to the end of two arms to scoop, lift, and move materials. Materials often transported with a loader include asphalt, demolition

debris, dirt, feed, gravel, logs, recycled materials, rock, sand, wood chips, and so on. Loaders are frequently used to move material to another type of machinery such as a dump truck, conveyor, open trench excavation, or rail car. Excavator An excavator is a general type of construction and engineering vehicle that has an articulated arm and a bucket and a cab that is mounted on a pivot. Excavators have a variety of uses for both farm and construction work. Some of the projects excavators can assist in include digging trenches, holes, and foundations, handing materials, cutting brush, performing forestry work, demolishing structures, gardening, landscaping, heavy lifting, mining, dredging river, and driving piles. And a specific type of excavator is the compact excavator. A compact excavator is a tracked or wheeled vehicle that usually has a backfill blade and an independent boom swing. Many compact excavators function on hydraulic fluid, which means that the vehicle's work group and blade are activated by hydraulic fluid that is acting on cylinders. This hydraulic function of the compact excavator set it apart from other types of construction equipment. Forklift A forklift is a high-powered vehicle used to lift and transport heavy items and materials. Forklifts come in many varieties of sizes and load capacities. The majority of forklifts are not used in construction projects, but rather in manufacturing facilities or warehouses that require frequent lifting and transporting of heavy materials. Road Roller A road roller is also known as a roller-compactor and is used mainly in road construction but can be used for a variety of other purposes including compacting soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt. In some parts of the world, road rollers are commonly known as steam rollers. Road rollers are commonly used with pavers that are used to spread asphalt on roadways. Motorized Cultivator

A motorized cultivator is a piece of equipment commonly used for farm work. Motorized cultivators have rotating blades called rotary tillers that work in the soil. The tillers can either be drawn behind a tractor or can be self propelled. Motorized cultivators can be used for a variety of purposes including weeding and digging. Whether you're looking at used skid steers, compact excavators, or another piece of construction equipment, knowing more about all the types of construction equipment available will help you know what construction equipment will be best for your needs

Heavy construction machinery needs vary for different types of construction businesses. You must decide what to include in your fleet and what to rent, and after checking construction equipment prices, you need to decide whether to buy new or used equipment.

Having the right tools for your construction staff to get the job done is essential in saving man hours of labor. Here are some questions to ask before you make a heavy machinery equipment purchase:

Does renting or buying new or used heavy construction machinery make the most sense for my company? Is my staff trained to operate this type and brand of heavy construction equipment? Do I need my supplier not only to provide, but also service my fleet of heavy construction machines? Do a cost comparison of rented, new and used heavy construction machinery When you calculate the cost of renting versus owning your heavy construction equipment, you'll need to take into consideration rental fees, maintenance costs and man hours wasted on failed equipment. Heavy construction equipment management via rental may make sense for those companies that need specialized equipment for a specific job.

Try: RSC Equipment Rental has a handy calculator to help you determine the lost man hours you suffer when owned equipment breaks and the time it takes to manage and

service a fleet. Machinery Stock is a free new and used heavy construction equipment advertising website for dealers and has a great advanced search tool that enables you to select things like price range, horsepower and year. Get training for your employees from the right heavy equipment school Now that you've decided what equipment you need and the acquisition method, you need to get your staff trained to operate the equipment. The right heavy equipment operator training school is one that teaches your staff to operate the brand of equipment safely and effectively, minimizing the possibility of personal injury and equipment damage. Try: The National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools has a training program for both crane operators and heavy equipment operators, including backhoe and skid steer training with certified instructors. National Training, Inc is an accredited school and its program, National Heavy Equipment Operators School, is part home study and part on campus, enabling the majority of the training to be done while your employees work full-time. The resident training includes a three week training session in Orange Park, Florida. Provide service for your heavy construction machines Don't forget about the service your new fleet of heavy machinery equipment needs. Even general maintenance tasks need to be done by a specialist. You may want to hire a construction equipment specialist to do the maintenance tasks if you've purchased a large fleet, but if your construction business is small, see if you can work out a service agreement with the dealer.

Try: At BuyerZone.com you can get free equipment leasing and financing quotes from multiple companies at once, some of which come with service agreements. Deere & Company, makers of John Deere products, offer a complete planned maintenance program with their products plus online support as well.

You should always buy your heavy machinery equipment in person, especially if the equipment is used. It's nice to search online retailers to find what products are available, but make sure you choose a local supplier to make your actual purchases.

Keep up with regular maintenance on your equipment; otherwise you may be in for costly engine repairs.

About Heavy Equipment and It's Uses in Construction There are different types of construction that can be performed depending on what needs to be fixed or built in society. For instance one major type of construction is heavy construction. Heavy construction is the type of work that occurs when infrastructure is added to an already built up environment, such as building a highway. Those who own heavy construction projects are typically national or local level government agencies that deal with large contracts that last quite a length of time. Heavy construction projects are usually done in the best interest of the public to service them better. Of course, it is hard to agree with this when you're stuck in traffic while the roads or the sewers beneath them are being replaced, but indeed the end result has us in mind. That being said, not every heavy construction project is undertaken by the government. Some large, private corporations, such as power companies, harbors, railroads, mines and golf courses, are also involved. These private companies, among others, undertake heavy construction in order to create dams, railways, massive earthwork projects, etc. Some developments that are considered heavy construction projects include: - Buildings - Parks - Playgrounds - Apartments - Stadiums - Factories - malls

The most important part of heavy construction that makes it successful is the equipment that is used. Heavy construction equipment is essential to the project, because without it, even the basic construction work could never be completed. They are typically quite large, and are created specifically for one or two different uses. The primary equipment used for heavy construction includes but is not limited to: bulldozers, cranes, well drilling machinery, earthmoving equipment, loaders, draglines, cable plows, scrapers, generators, rollers, light towers, etc. Each piece of heavy construction equipment plays an important role in the project. For instance, as far as groundwork is concerned, heavy rollers are used. Heavy rollers set up the project and find the base. They are then used to raise and drag tons of stones and iron from one place to the next. The biggest problem that often occurs with heavy construction is the cost of building. Heavy equipment is quite expensive, and the people needed to work these machines and tools need to have the skill and experience in order to handle them. That being the case, many companies make the decision to rent or lease heavy equipment, sometimes even with or without the operators. Unfortunately, because operators need to have both the skill and knowledge to work the equipment, they have become practically as indispensable as the heavy equipment. This can sometimes cause problems for companies who require heavy construction projects. To beat this problem, some companies hire people and then pay for their training, as opposed to trying to find someone who already has the training and is therefore going to request a much higher salary. Despite certain problems, and expenses, most heavy construction projects are completed. The result of a heavy construction project is usually something that many people can benefit from and enjoy.

Full exemption from import duty on tunnel boring machines and parts of their assembly. Positive Several positive measures focusing on the agricultural and related sectors were announced, including reduced customs duty on specified agricultural machinery and processing equipment. UNION BUDGET 2012-13: Impact Analysis 19 Apart from this, equipment imported for road construction and fertilizer projects also received a whole bunch of duty exemptions. However, increase in standard rate of excise duty from 10% to 12% has partially offset the significant positive impact of reduction or exemption in import and customs duties to some extent on the capital and engineering goods sector. The Union Budget FY13 also outlines the importance of the infrastructure sector with greater emphasis on capital investment required in construction of national highways and encouraging PPP projects. Demand for construction equipment is likely to be boosted owing to several positive proposals in the infrastructure sector. Allocation of ` 795.79 bn for capital expenditure made in the defence services will also provide a boost to the capital and engineering goods industry in FY13. Overall, the Budget is anticipated to have a positive impact on the capital and engineering goods sector Capital goods industry is the backbone of the manufacturing activity. A vibrant capital goods industry is a pre-requisite to propel the growth of the manufacturing activity in any country.

A study commissioned by the Government of India1 has defined capital goods as plant machineries for agricultural, industrial and commercial segments of economic activities that have economic asset life of over 3 years. Considering the list of items covered under the head capital goods in calculation of IIP, this study has analyzed major segments such as machine tools, textile machinery, electrical machinery, earthmoving and construction machinery, and process plant equipments. FUTURE TELECASTS OF HEAVY MACHINERY Increase manufacturing sector growth to ~ 2-4% more than GDP growth to make it the engine of growth for the economy and increase its share to ~ 25% of overall GDP by 2025. Increase the rate of job creation in manufacturing sector to create ~100 million additional jobs by 2025. Increase depth in manufacturing, with focus on the level of domestic value addition. Enhance global competitiveness of Indian manufacturing through appropriate policy support. Ensure sustainability of growth, particularly with regard to the environment.

The industry growth during 11th Plan stood is at 14%. The turnover during 2010-11 was Rs 2, 67,944 crore. There is a need for rapid growth of the sector, for which it is proposed to initiate some national programmes. These in turn will create additional demand. It is also proposed to take steps to substitute imports by domestic production. This is expected to take the sector to Rs 6,81,000 crores in 2016-17 at a CAGR of 16.8%. The current employment of 1.4 million is proposed to be boosted through a series of recommendations to reach 2.8 million by the end of the 12th Five Year Plan. In order to increase technology content in the domestic production, policy and programme initiatives are proposed for R&D, education and training, technology development, technology purchase, technology development abroad on contract, technology acquisition, IPR purchase and ownership, joint technology development and funding for technology up gradation. Some sub-sectors of capital goods in Indian manufacturing sector are not upto the global standards. It is proposed to provide exposure, facilitation, technology

development support and support for acquisition of technology firms abroad. Some of the PSUs are proposed to be elevated as national/global champions. Technology and design development support is proposed to be provided to the capital goods sectors for producing energy efficient machines.

Capital goods & engineering sector as a strategic sector for Indian economy: "Capital Goods sector comprises of plant and machinery, equipment / accessories required for manufacture / production, either directly or indirectly, of goods or for rendering services, including those required for replacement, modernization, technological upgradation and expansion. It also includes packaging machinery and equipment, refrigeration equipment, power generating sets, equipment and instruments for testing, research and development, quality and pollution control. In the context of Working Group of Capital Goods and Engineering Sector, subsectors such as machine tools, plastic machinery, dies/ moulds & tools, earthmoving & mining equipment, heavy electrical & power plant equipment, metallurgical machinery, textile machinery, process plant machinery and light engineering goods have been included.

Capital goods sector is extremely crucial for the development of the countrys economy for the following two important reasons: Capital Goods is considered as a strategic sector and development of domestic capabilities is essential from a national self-reliance and security perspective Capital Goods sector has multiplier effect and has bearing on the growth of the user industries as it provides critical input, i.e., machinery and equipment to the remaining sectors covered under the manufacturing activity.

The capital goods industry contributes 12% to the total manufacturing activity (which is about 15% of the GDP). With a view to achieve 9% growth in GDP during the 12th Five Year Plan, the manufacturing industry should grow at least by 11% to 13% per annum. This would

mean that the Capital Goods sector, which is considered to be the core of manufacturing, should grow at around 17% to 19%.

Non Electrical Machinery Machine Tools The machine tools sector is one of the important segments of the capital goods industry in India. The sector is recognized as a provider of cost-effective high quality lean manufacturing solutions. The sector manufactures almost the complete range of metalcutting and metal forming machine tools. Customized in nature, the products from the Indian basket comprise conventional machine tools as well as computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. Total production of machine tools in the country reached the level of more than Rs. 2000 crores by the end of the year 2006-07, showing a growth rate of almost 15%, over the previous year. Export of machine tools has shown a steady increase in the last few

years. In the year 2006-07, export of machine tools was worth more than US $ 234 million. During the period April November 2007, machine tools export stood at US $ 199.28 million, an increase of over 27%, over the same period in the previous year. USA is the largest market for machine tools exports from India. In the year 2006-07, USA accounted for 19% (US $ 45.25 million) of Indias total export of machine tools. Other major markets include Germany (8.1%), UAE (5%), and Singapore (4.7%), and USA (4.6%). Textile Machinery Textile is one of Indias major export items contributing to over 11% in Indias export earnings. Indian textile machinery sector started as an offshoot of the textile industry to cater to the capital expenditure demand of the textile units. the Indian textile machinery sector started producing automated machines, with innovation, envisaging growth in capacity expansion in the textile industry in the post-quota regime. Textile machinery production has shown steady increase in the recent years. The total production of textile machinery in the country increased from around Rs. 11,750 million in 2002-03 to more than Rs.30,000 million by 2007-08. The success of the textile machinery sector depends largely on technology and branding. Considering that many Indian textile machinery manufacturers have started in-house research and development activities, the sector is poised for further growth. Recently, leading textile machinery manufacturers have collectively established a research and development centre at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. Construction and Mining Machinery India produces a wide range of construction and mining machinery such as hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, bull dozers, dump trucks, tippers, graders, pavers, asphalt drum / wet mix plants, breakers, vibratory compactors, cranes, forklifts, dozers, off-highway dumpers (20T to 170T), drills, scrapers, motor graders, rope shovels etc. They perform a variety of functions like preparation of ground, excavation, haulage of material, dumping/laying in specified manner, material handling, road construction etc. Indian construction and mining machinery sector is also exporting to various countries, including developed countries such as USA, UK, and Singapore. Major items of export include moving, grading, pile extracting machineries.

Process Plant Machinery The process plant machinery and components sector in India is a heterogeneous segment of capital goods industry. The sector caters to a wide range of process industries like oil and gas, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, metal processing, cement, paper, sugar, and food processing. The sector designs and manufactures a wide range of equipment and systems such as: pressure vessels, columns, towers, heat exchangers, multi-tubular reactors,

evaporators, crystallizers, dryers, road/rail tankers, storage equipments, equipment for dairy and food processing, mineral beneficiation equipments, rotary kilns, equipments for solid-liquid separation, equipment for water and waste water treatment. Few of the Indian companies have made their mark in the export arena due to their manufacturing skill and quality. These companies are equipped with modern machinery and are producing sophisticated equipments such as high-pressure heat exchangers, spiral heat exchangers, multi-wall vessels, air fin coolers, multi-tubular reactors etc. Exports in the last couple of years have grown at a CAGR of 36%, while the import growth (CAGR) has been around 49%. Electrical Equipments and Machinery The electrical equipment and machinery sector comprises a range of products, such as transformers, switchgears, motors, generators and control equipment. Electrical equipment and machinery is principally used in the power industry (generation, transmission and distribution) as well as in other manufacturing industries, such as automobiles, cement, steel, petrochemicals and refining. Transformer Sector Transformer is a crucial component in transmission and distribution of electricity. The transformer industry is usually divided into distribution transformers, power transformers and other types of special transformers for welding, traction, furnace etc. Besides catering to the domestic demand, India is exporting transformers to over 100 countries covering USA, Europe, Syria, Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Oman and China. In the year 2006-07, Indias export of transformers amounted to US $ 645 million, a growth of 74% over the previous year. India is also an importer of electric transformers; in the year 2006-07, India imported transformers valued US $ 557 million, a growth of 37% over the previous year. Indias major source countries include China, Germany, USA,

Singapore and Japan. China alone accounts for about 40% of Indias total transformer imports. Switchgear and Control gear Sector Switchgears and control gears are required for transmission and distribution of power and are necessary at every switching point in power transmission and distribution system. This sector is fully developed and matured one in India, producing and supplying a wide range of products catering to the needs of households, commercial and power sector, for entire voltage ranging from 240 V to 800 KV. India has been exporting switchgears and control gears to various countries. In the year 2006- 07, India exported switching apparatus (not exceeding 1000v) valued at US $ 234 million, a growth of 28% over the previous year. In addition, India also exported switching apparatus (exceeding 1000v) worth US $ 90 million in 2006-07, a growth of 34% over the previous year. Major markets include UK, USA, Germany, UAE, Philippines, Australia and Hong Kong. India is also an importer of switchgears and control gears. In the year 2006-07, India imported switchgears and control gears (not exceeding 1000v) valued US $ 462 million in 2006-07. In the same year, the import of switchgears (exceeding 1000v) amounted to US $ 51 million.

INDIAN CAPITAL GOODS INDUSTRY: MARKET ANALYSIS AND EXPORT POTENTIAL Globally, the capital goods industry is worth around US $ 4.5 trillion. Germany and USA are traditionally large suppliers of different sub segments of capital goods. Of late, Asian countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea have become major players in production and export of capital goods. Consumption of capital goods has also increased substantially in developing Asian countries due to thrust given to the valueadded manufacturing. Under the machine tools category, though there has been growth in exports, in the last three years, the import of machine tools have outgrown in several sub segments, bringing down the export import ratio (Annexure - ). This indicates that there is significant room for market expansion in the domestic market. Market analyses reveal that major developing country importers of machine tools in the world include Mexico, Thailand, Turkey, Poland and China. Indias major developing country markets for machine tools have been UAE, Nigeria and Thailand. In addition, India exports machine

tools to host of developing countries of Africa and West and South Asia, such as Kenya, Sudan, Bangladesh, Iran and Sri Lanka.Though some of the sub segments of machine tools are exported to leading developing country markets, in many cases the share of India in these markets are insignificant. Thus, careful targeting of export markets need to be undertaken by the machine tool industry for penetration in new markets and expansion of market share in existing markets. The technology upgradation fund scheme of Government of India has contributed to the capacity expansion in the domestic textile sector significantly. Most of such capacity expansion has occurred through imports. As a result, the export-import ratio of textile machinery sector has also come down significantly in the last three years (Annexure -), especially in sub segment, non-woven machinery. Major developing country importers of textile machinery in the world include China, Hong Kong, Turkey and Pakistan. On the other hand, Indias major developing country markets for textile machinery include Bangladesh, Indonesia and UAE. There is ample scope for exporting to other developing countries of South Asia, especially to Pakistan and Sri Lanka. In addition, countries such as Turkey and Egypt could also be targeted for expanding exports and enhancing market share. Construction and mining equipment is another area in which the export-import share has come down in the last three years, except under the product group pulley tackle and hoists (HS Code 8425). This indicates that there is significant room for capacity expansion in construction and mining equipment sector also. Amongst developing countries, China, Mexico and Indonesia are the leading importers in the world. While developed countries cater to most of the import requirements of these developing countries, India could explore the opportunities in these countries. Indias export markets include UAE, Kuwait and Qatar in west Asia and African countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia and Mauritius. The share of India in the import of these countries is not always significant. Thus, these countries could be targeted for market expansion by the construction and mining equipment companies in India. CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES Challenges Technological Competency The technologies used for production as also in assembly of Indian capital goods are not always updated in tune with the global technological trends. While there are some

players who have technological competencies, especially in design capability, application innovation and process innovation, the technological capabilities of large number of players, especially in the SME sector, are limited. In addition, the technological competencies of players in the SME sector, who provide components or intermediates to original equipment manufacturers are also limited. Transfer of technology from other developed countries has also not been significant despite liberalization of policies for technology transfer and foreign direct investments. Import of Second Hand Capital Goods Under the Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme, import of second hand capital goods is permitted in India for preproduction, production and postproduction activities. The capital goods that may be imported under this scheme include spares (including refurbished/ reconditioned spares), tools, jigs, fixtures, dies and moulds. Import of capital goods under this scheme would attract only 5% customs duty subject to an export obligation, equivalent to 8 times of duty saved on the capital goods imported. It may be mentioned that machine tools, refinery equipments, construction and mining machinery, plastic processing machinery and printing machinery are some of the second hand capital goods imported into India. During the period April December 2007, over 14300 EPCG applications have been sanctioned with licenses / authorizations, with a CIF duty credit of nearly Rs. 12,000 crores. While the main objective of this scheme is to help modernization of the industry, by offering duty concessions, the imported capital goods pose stiff competition to the indigenous capital goods manufacturers. Cost Competitiveness The Indian capital goods industry largely uses crucial inputs such as iron and steel that are of domestic origin. Over the years, there has been significant increase in cost of inputs, but the players in this industry are unable to pass on the price increase to the end consumers, due to competition from imports. The capital goods industry also has high incidence of taxation; a number of indirect duties (such as excise duty, octroi, entry tax, sales tax and service tax) are levied adding up to the end user cost. This makes the indigenous supplies costlier visa- vis imported capital goods. Some estimates have put the cost disadvantage, due to such levies to, an extent of over 20%.

STRATEGIES Transformation in Objective and Approach

Sale of capital goods is not a onetime business but require technical support in transportation, erection, staff training (for operation and minor repairs), continuous service maintenance and periodical up gradation in technology. All over the world, the capital goods manufacturers are turning themselves as engineering services companies offering turnkey solutions to retain the customers. Players in Indian capital goods industry may also increasingly reorient their approach to transform into service based organizations. Such service orientation would help the industry in sharpening the competitive advantage. Strengthening Research and Development Consistent with global trends, Indian capital goods industry also needs to grant highest priority to innovation and research and development. The R&D intensity of firms in Indian capital goods industry is less than 1%, far below than the R&D intensity of other sectors such as pharmaceuticals and automobiles. Precision measuring, materials engineering, and process innovation are some of the areas for strengthening R&D in Indian capital goods industry. It is also important to increase the linkages between the public research systems and industry to facilitate technology transfer and enhance the responsiveness of the capital goods industry. Common R&D facilities under the cluster approach or under the public-private partnership approach would enhance the technological strengths of the Indian capital goods industry. In this context, it may be mentioned that the textile machinery industry, with the support of academia and Government, has set up a R&D center at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai. It is reported that textile engineering related projects undertaken by postgraduate students in IIT, Mumbai, in this R&D center, would be useful in product development and innovation in process engineering in the textile engineering industry. Such R&D centers may be encouraged to contribute to the technology development in other capital goods sub-sectors also. Strengthening Technological Competencies

In order to enhance productivity, product quality and operating efficiency, the players in the sector need to constantly upgrade their technological competencies. The Department of Heavy Industry, Government of India, has proposed to undertake a comprehensive scheme for technology up gradation and R&D facilities for modernization of capital goods industry. The proposed scheme may endeavor to help the players in the Indian capital goods industry in tracking global trends in product and process technologies, with specific objective of cost control, besides enhancing productivity, energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, product quality, operating flexibility and efficiency. The scheme may also help enhance the usage of information technology that provides convenience to the customers, and help enhance customer base and new avenues for profitability. Such R&D centers may also be conceived as training platforms for skill up gradation of the shop-floor technicians in the capital goods industry

Caterpillar Inc. Also known as "CAT", is an American corporation which designs, manufactures, markets and sells machinery and engines and sells financial

products and insurance to customers via a worldwide dealer network. Caterpillar is the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines and industrial gas turbines. With more than US$70 billion in assets, Caterpillar was ranked number one in its industry and number 44 overall in the 2009 Fortune 500.Caterpillar stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Caterpillar Inc. traces its origins to the 1925 merger of the Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Company, creating a new entity, the California based Caterpillar Tractor Company. In 1986, the company re-organized itself as a Delaware corporation under the current name; Caterpillar Inc. Caterpillar's headquarters are located in Peoria, Illinois, United States.

Caterpillar Company formed The banks who held the company's large debt forced the Holt board of directors to accept their candidate, Thomas A. Baxter, to succeed Benjamin Holt. Baxter initially cut the large tractors from the company's product line and introduced smaller models focused on the agricultural market. When the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921 funded a US$1 billion federal highway building program, Baxter began re-focusing the company towards building road construction equipment. Both companies also faced fierce competition from theFordson company. Between 1907 and 1918, Best and Holt had spent about US$1.5 million in legal fees fighting each other in a number of contractual, trademark and patent

infringement lawsuits. Harry H. Fair of the bond brokerage house of Pierce, Fair & Company of San Francisco had helped to finance C. L. Best's debt and Holt shareholders approached him about their company's financial difficulty. Fair recommended that the two companies should merge. In April and May 1925, the financially stronger C. L. Best merged with the market leader Holt Caterpillar to form the Caterpillar Tractor Co. The new company was headquartered in San Leandro until 1930, when under the terms of the merger it was moved to Peoria. Baxter had been removed as CEO earlier in 1925, and Clarence Leo Best assumed the title of CEO, and remained in that role until October 1951. The Caterpillar Company consolidated its product lines, offering only five track-type tractors: the 2 Ton, 5 Ton, and 10 Ton from the Holt Manufacturing Company's old product line and the Caterpillar 30 and Caterpillar 60 from the C. L. Best Tractor Co.'s former product line. The 10 Ton and 5 Ton models were discontinued in 1926. In 1928, the 2 Ton was discontinued. Sales the first year were US$13 million. By 1929, sales climbed to US$52.8 million, and CAT continued to grow throughout the Great Depression of the 1930s. Caterpillar adopted the diesel engine to replace gasoline engines. During World War II, Caterpillar products found fame with the Seabees, Construction Battalions of the United States Navy, who built airfields and other facilities in the Pacific Theater of Operations. During the post-war construction boom, the company grew at a rapid pace and launched its first venture outside the U.S. in 1950, marking the beginning of Caterpillar's development into a multinational corporation.

Expansion in developing markets Caterpillar built its first Russian facility in the town of Tosno, located near St. Petersburg, Russia. It was completed in 16 months and occupied in November 1999. It had the first electrical substation built in the Leningrad Oblast since the Communist government was dissolved on December 26, 1991. The facility was built under harsh winter conditions, where the temperature was below 25C. The facility construction was managed by the Lemminkinen Group located in Helsinki, Finland. The $125M Caterpillar Suzhou, People's Republic of China facility, manufactures medium wheel loaders and motor graders, primarily for the Asian market. The first machine is scheduled for production in March 2009. URS Ausino, in San Francisco, California, manages facility construction. Caterpillar has manufactured in Brazil since 1960. In 2010 the company announced plans to further expand production of backhoe and small wheel loaders with a new factory. Major Capacity Expansions in 2011 versus 2010 include: New facility opened in Campo Largo, Brazil, for production of backhoe loaders and small wheel loaders. New facility opened in Thiruvallur, India, dedicated to the production of backhoe loaders. Increase in small wheel loader unit capacity at Clayton, N.C. Increase in medium excavator unit capacity at Jakarta, Indonesia. Increase in motor grader unit capacity at North Little Rock, Ark., as the facility ramps up to full production, including the transfer of the majority of existing motor grader

capacity from Decatur, Ill. Increase in SEM brand wheel loader unit capacity at Qingzhou, China. Increase in motor grader and medium wheel loader unit capacity at Suzhou, China, as the facility ramps up to full production. Increase in small, medium and large excavator unit capacity at Xuzhou, China. The expansion opening of the Sanford, N.C., facility that provides increased logistics and fabrications capacity to meet global demand.

equipment and mining equipment after Caterpillar. However, in some areas (Japan, China), Komatsu has a larger share than Caterpillar. It has manufacturing operations in Japan, Asia, Americas and Europe. They plan on continuing to spread. Komatsu Iron Works was started by Takeuchi Mining Industry as a subsidiary to make industrial tools for the parent company. Komatsu eventually became large enough to sell to the public, and was spun off on May 13, 1921 as Komatsu Ltd. Komatsu produced its first agricultural tractor prototype in 1931. Through the 1930s, Komatsu also produced military tractors for the Japanese military, as well as bulldozers, tanks and howitzers. After World War II, under its new president Yoshinari Kawai, Komatsu added non-military bulldozers and forklifts to its line of equipment. In 1949 it began production of its first diesel engine. [3] Its growth as a company was aided by the strong demand for its bulldozers during Japan's post-war reconstruction in the 1950s. In August 1951 the corporate headquarters were moved to Tokyo. By 1957 the company had advanced technologically to the point that all its models were using Komatsu engines.

In 1964 Rioichi Kawai, son of Yoshinari Kawai, became president of Komatsu, and it began exporting its products, looking to counteract the postwar image of Japanese products as being cheap and poorly made. In July 1967, it entered the U.S. market, taking on Caterpillar, the world's largest bulldozer maker, in its home market. This was done under the company slogan of "Maru-C", translating into English as "encircle Caterpillar" (from the game of Go (board game), where encircling an opponent results in capture of their territory

Volvo CE's product leaders in many world markets include a comprehensive range of wheel loaders, wheeled and crawler hydraulic excavators (aka diggers), articulated haulers (aka dumpers), motor graders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, as well as mini and compact excavators, skid steers, and wheel loaders, pipelayers, demolition equipment, waste handlers and scraper haulers. Volvo Construction Equipment has production facilities in Sweden, Germany, China, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, India, and Poland. With the purchase of Ingersoll Rand, Volvo acquired a Road Construction facility in Pennsylvania, their only presence in the United States. The company offers worldwide service and spare-part distribution as well as a wide range of attachments. Volvo Construction Equipment mainly distributes its machines through independent dealers and, in parallel with their rental program, to customers in more than 200 countries. Principal Volvo products for the rental centers include the companys comprehensive line of compact excavators, skid steers, and backhoe loaders. The corporation's equipment rental arm, Volvo Rents, began its

equipment franchising initiative in 2001. The company now has nearly 90 equipment rental centersmostly in North Americaand continues to expand its operations in Europe with rental centers in Portugal and Spain. As part of the Volvo acquisition of Ingersoll Rand road machinery, approximately 30 former "Ingersoll Rand Equipment

Stores" have been transitioned to "Volvo Construction Equipment & Services" locations that will sell, rent and support road machinery, compact equipment, and material handling products, such as milling equipment, pavers, compactors, tack distributors, road wideners and material transfer vehicles. In 2008, Volvo formed "Volvo Construction Equipment & Services California," from the IRES and recently acquired "Mathews Machinery" locations based in California. In 1950, AB Volvo bought the machine manufacturer Bolinder-Munktell (BM). In 1973, the company name was changed to Volvo BM AB. During the 1980s and 1990s, a number of American, European and Asian construction equipment manufacturers were purchased. In 1995, the name was changed to Volvo Construction Equipment. Up until 1985 Volvo BM also produced tractors and other agricultural machines; the tractor manufacturing division was sold to Valmet in 1985. In February 2007, Volvo announced it had agreed to buy the road construction equipment division of Ingersoll-Rand for $1.3 billion in cash to re-enter the Road Construction market. The unit manufactures and sells asphalt paving equipment, compaction equipment, milling machines and construction-related material handling equipment and generated net revenues of approximately $850 million for 2006. The sale includes manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania, Germany, China and India, as well as 20 distribution and service facilities in the U.S. The business employs approximately 2,000 people worldwide. On December 11, 2009, Volvo announced that it would close its manufacturing facility in Asheville, NC on or before March 31, 2010; resulting in the loss of 228 jobs, and the lack of any construction equipment facilities in the United States outside of Road Machinery. The products built at the Asheville Plant, including wheel loaders and crawler excavators, were transferred to Volvo manufacturing facilities in South Korea and Sweden. On January 13, 2010, Volvo announced that it would invest 65 million SEK to begin producing crawler excavators in Brazil, taking advantage of government run, low financing options for products built in country.

Beginning in 2010, Volvo announced its new focus entitled "Fit for the Future". Key initiatives include focusing growth and expansion in the "BRIC" countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China). The new focus is set to run through 2012

Hitachi Construction Machinery Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe)NV (HCME) is a subsidiary of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co.,Ltd. (HCM) and was established in 1972 in Oosterhout, The Netherlands. It is responsible for the manufacture, sales and marketing of Hitachi construction equipment throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In 1968, Hitachi appointed Hovers Constructie NV in Tilburg as exclusive importer of Hitachi's range of construction equipment in the Benelux. In the 1970s the company launched a number of crawler cranes designed locally but had appeal throughout the world. In 1972 Hovers Constructie NV went out of business. To continue support of existing customer, HCME was incorporated on April 1, 1972, as the first foreign branch of HCM. With its brief opened to cover Africa and the Middle East, in 1981 the company opened a parts Distribution Center. In 1986 the production partnership between Fiat and Hitachi began, with the original plan to build a limited range of Hitachi crawler excavators in Fiat's factory in San Mauro, Turin, Italy. In the 1990s, HCME increased production at Oosterhout, starting to produce mini excavators, which with an extension of coverage into Russia lead to a trebling of production volumes. In October 1998, Euclid and Hitachi agreed a distribution partnership. This resulted in a new part distribution centre being opened at Oosterhout in April 2000, so that HMCE could take over the exclusive distribution for Euclid dump trucks parts. In March 2001, Hitachi and Fiat terminated their joint venture relationship. The factory moved to its current site (also in Oosterhout) three years later, when HCME further expanded its operations. In 2002, the Zaxis mini excavator range was introduced to the plant. In the same year, HCME headquarters, including a factory for the construction of

medium excavators and a Training and Demonstration Centre, was established in Amsterdam.

texture/cure machines, canal pavers, powered work bridges and custom designed machines for specific customer needs.

All HEM machines are built with three things in mind: Reliability, Economy and rock-solid Durability. In the environment where these machines continually work, there is little room for any design that doesnt center on those three traits. This is why HEM is growing at a steady pace.

HEMs design staff, with more than 60 years of combined experience in the slip form paving field, spends as much time as possible with contractors on jobs around the world. Our customers, seasoned professionals in the highway/airport building business, have been a great resource in determining which equipment features are important and necessary, and which ones have little long lasting value. We make it a point of determining what the customer wants, instead of telling the customer what he is going to get.

HEM has built a reputation with its customers based upon honest dealings, solid products, a good understanding of the customers needs and highly skilled service and support personnel. The entrepreneurial spirit at HEM, combined with a fast growing number of satisfied and loyal customers is shaping the future for this company and its place in the concrete paving industry.

Bobcat Company is a manufacturer of farm and construction equipment, part of Doosan Group of South Korea. Its American headquarters is in West Fargo, North Dakota, USA (formerly in Gwinner, North Dakota - a site which is now strictly a manufacturing facility). It was a subsidiary of the Ingersoll Rand Company from 1995 until July 2007 when it was sold for US$4.9 billion to Doosan Infracore.[1] The company sells skid steer loaders, compact excavators, compact utility vehicles, compact tractors and other small hydraulic equipment under the Bobcat brand name. It is one of the few major manufacturing companies operating in North Dakota. History In the 1950s, Louis and Cyril Keller operated Keller Welding and Repair near Rothsay, Minnesota. In 1956 Eddie Velo, a turkey farmer from the area, described to the Kellers a need for a machine small enough to maneuver inside a pole barn, and light enough to operate on its upper level. The brothers worked out[when?] a small, 3-wheeled design with a belt-driven transmission, and delivered it to Velo on February 4, 1957. [3] Velo allowed the Kellers full access to his operations. The Kellers soon learned of drawbacks to the belt-driven transmission, and developed and patented a clutch based transmission system in 1958 which was more robust. The new transmission became the basis of the Melroe M60 loader; their uncle, an equipment dealer for the Gwinner, ND-based Melroe Manufacturing Company advocated for that company marketing the machines, resulting in Melroe inviting the Kellers to exhibit at the 1958 Minnesota State Fair. Melroe introduced the four-wheeled M400 model "Skid-Steer Loader" in 1960, and began using "Bobcat" as a trade name for such products in 1962, on the 440-model loader. Les Melroe and advertising agent Lynn Bickett settled on the "Bobcat" name while

exchanging name ideas during a drive between Minneapolis and Gwinner, and Bickett and Sylvan Melroe developed the "tough, quick, and agile" slogan used in advertising the early loaders. Melroe was purchased by Clark Equipment Company in 1969, and then by IngersollRand in 1995. Doosan currently owns Clark Equipment Company, which does business as Bobcat Company.

Bucyrus was an early producer of steam shovels, operating from its Bucyrus, Ohio headquarters and manufacturing facility. In 1893, Bucyrus moved its operations to South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1904 Bucyrus supplied 77 of the 102 steam shovels used to dig the Panama Canal.[8] The company changed its name to Bucyrus-Erie in 1927 when it merged with the Erie Steam Shovel Company, the country's leading manufacturer of small excavators at that time.[citation needed] In 1930 Bucyrus joined with the English firm of Ruston & Hornsby Ltd Lincoln, England, to form the Ruston-Bucyrus Ltd firm in England. Ruston & Hornsby Ltd were the preeminent manufactures of Steam excavators at the time, having started in 1874; the merger gave the company access to previously unavailable world markets. Ruston & Hornsby Ltd sold their share in Ruston-Bucyrus in 1985, during a period of recession and consolidation in the Mining industry, as they divested themselves of non-core businesses to survive.[citation needed] 1980-2011 For a time in the 1980s the company was known as Becor Western following its merger with Western Gear.[citation needed] On February 22, 1993, Bucyrus-Erie filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and remained under bankruptcy protection until December 14, 1994.[9] The company took its current name, Bucyrus International, Inc. in 1997.[citation needed] Bucyrus built hundreds of large mining machines, as well as construction equipment, in an intense competition against competitor Marion Power Shovel. Bucyrus acquired Marion Power Shovel in 1997.[citation needed] On May 4, 2007, Bucyrus completed the acquisition of the DBT Group, a Lunen, Germany based manufacturer of underground mining equipment, from RAG Coal International AG of Herne, Germany. Bucyrus acquired DBT because DBT's

underground mining equipment complemented Bucyrus' surface mining products. [citation

needed]

In February 2010, Bucyrus International completed a US $1.3 billion acquisition of the mining equipment division of Terex Corporation.[citation needed] On November 15, 2010, Bucyrus agreed to be acquired by Caterpillar in a transaction valued at US$8.6 billion. Caterpillar said it intended to create a new mining business headquarters at the former Bucyrus headquarters location in South Milwaukee. The transaction closed in mid-2011.[10] Products Bucyrus owned the Bucyrus, Bucyrus-Erie, Marion, and Ransomes & Rapier brands and provided OEM parts and support services for machinery which bears those brands.[11] Historical

The Holt 75 model gasoline-powered Caterpillar tractor used early in World War I as an artillery tractor. Later models were produced without the front "tiller wheel."

The Holt Manufacturing Company traces its roots to the 1883 establishment of Stockton Wheel Service in Stockton, California, United States.[3][4][5] Benjamin Holt, who was later credited with patenting the first workable crawler tractor design, incorporated the Holt Manufacturing Company in 1892.[6] Holt Manufacturing Company was the first company to successfully manufacture a continuous track tractor. By the turn of the twentieth century Holt Manufacturing Conmpany was the leading manufacturer of combine harvesters in the United States and the leading Californiabased manufacturer of steam traction engines.[7] Holt Manufacturing Company operated from its base in Stockton, California, until opening a satellite facility in Walla Walla, Washington, to serve the Pacific Northwest. In 1909, Holt Manufacturing Company expanded by purchasing the facility of defunct farm implement maker Colean Manufacturing Company in East Peoria, Illinois.[8] Holt changed the name of the company to Holt Caterpillar Company, although he did not trademark the name Caterpillar until 1911. The company's initial products focused on agricultural machinery and were distributed internationally. During World War I, almost all of its production capacity was dedicated to military needs. Its tractors replaced horses and were widely used by the Allies as artillery tractors and for hauling supplies. British General Ernest Swinton recognized in the Holt tractor the potential for a power-driven, bullet-proof, tracked vehicle that could destroy enemy machine guns, although the British later chose an English firm to build the first tanks. Holt's equipment was credited with helping to win the war and its tractor was regarded as "one of the most important military vehicles of all time." The Holt Manufacturing Company gained worldwide recognition for the quality and durability of its equipment. As the war ended, the Holt company was left with huge surplus inventories of heavyduty tractors ill-suited for the agricultural market, which had been dominated during the war by the Holt Company's primary competitor, C. L. Best. The company decided to focus instead on heavy construction equipment and sought to capitalize on the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921. Laden with debt and needing more capital to switch its product line, the company struggled to move forward.

Both the Holt Manufacturing Company and C. L. Best were hurt by the depression of 192021 which further inhibited sales. Both companies streamlined their over-lapping product lines. The two companies had spent about US$1.5 million (about $19,878,558 today) in legal fees fighting each other in various contractual, trademark and patent infringement lawsuits since 1905, but, on the advice of investors, the two companies merged in 1925 to form the Caterpillar Tractor Co. In 2010, Caterpillar Inc. was the 229th largest company in the world.

Company origins Charles H. Holt arrived in San Francisco from Concord, New Hampshire, in 1864 to form C. H. Holt and Co. Initially the company produced wooden wheels for wagons and, later on, steel wheels for streetcars. In 1869, at age 20, his younger brother Benjamin went to work in their father's sawmill in New Hampshire along with William Harrison Holt and Ames Frank Holt, preparing hardwoods for shipping to Charles in San Francisco. William and Ames joined Charles in San Francisco in 1871. In the same year, Charles and Ames established the Holt Brothers Company in San Francisco. The company sold hardwood, lumber, and wagon and carriage materials, primarily manufacturing wagon axles, wheels, and frames. W. Harrison Holt and Ames both temporarily returned around 1871 to New Hampshire where both were married to manage the eastern business. The brothers built a factory in Concord, New Hampshire, to manufacture wagon wheels, wheel components, bodies and running gear. In 1872, at age 23, Benjamin was given an interest in his father's business, and he assumed more responsibility for the company's operations. W. Harrison Holt moved to Tiffin, Ohio, to manage the company's lumber business there, where he remained until the early 1880s. Their mother died in 1875, and their father died eight years later in 1883. After his father's death, Benjamin Holt left New Hampshire in 1883 to help Charles build the business in California. Charles, Benjamin and Frank incorporated the Holt Bros. Company on January 7, 1892, to deal in lumber and iron.[14] Four days later, they also filed incorporation papers

Volvo CE's product leaders in many world markets include a comprehensive range of wheel loaders, wheeled and crawler hydraulic excavators (aka diggers), articulated haulers (aka dumpers), motor graders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, as well as mini and compact excavators, skid steers, and wheel loaders, pipelayers, demolition equipment, waste handlers and scraper haulers. Volvo Construction Equipment has production facilities in Sweden, Germany, China, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, India, and Poland. With the purchase of Ingersoll Rand, Volvo acquired a Road Construction facility in Pennsylvania, their only presence in the United States. The company offers worldwide service and spare-part distribution as well as a wide range of attachments. Volvo Construction Equipment mainly distributes its machines through independent dealers and, in parallel with their rental program, to customers in more than 200 countries. Principal Volvo products for the rental centers include the companys comprehensive line of compact excavators, skid steers, and backhoe loaders. The corporation's equipment rental arm, Volvo Rents, began its equipment franchising initiative in 2001. The company now has nearly 90 equipment rental centersmostly in North Americaand continues to expand its operations in Europe with rental centers in

Portugal and Spain. As part of the Volvo acquisition of Ingersoll Rand road machinery, approximately 30 former "Ingersoll Rand Equipment Stores" have been transitioned to "Volvo Construction Equipment & Services" locations that will sell, rent and support road machinery, compact equipment, and material handling products, such as milling equipment, pavers, compactors, tack distributors, road wideners and material transfer vehicles. In 2008, Volvo formed "Volvo Construction Equipment & Services California," from the IRES and recently acquired "Mathews Machinery" locations based in California. In 1950, AB Volvo bought the machine manufacturer Bolinder-Munktell (BM). In 1973, the company name was changed to Volvo BM AB. During the 1980s and 1990s, a number of American, European and Asian construction equipment manufacturers were purchased. In 1995, the name was changed to Volvo Construction Equipment. Up until 1985 Volvo BM also produced tractors and other agricultural machines; the tractor manufacturing division was sold to Valmet in 1985. In February 2007, Volvo announced it had agreed to buy the road construction equipment division of Ingersoll-Rand for $1.3 billion in cash to re-enter the Road Construction market.[citation needed] The unit manufactures and sells asphalt paving equipment, compaction equipment, milling machines and construction-related material handling equipment and generated net revenues of approximately $850 million for 2006. The sale includes manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania, Germany, China and India, as well as 20 distribution and service facilities in the U.S. The business employs approximately 2,000 people worldwide. On December 11, 2009, Volvo announced that it would close its manufacturing facility in Asheville, NC on or before March 31, 2010; resulting in the loss of 228 jobs, and the lack of any construction equipment facilities in the United States outside of Road Machinery. The products built at the Asheville Plant, including wheel loaders and crawler excavators, were transferred to Volvo manufacturing facilities in South Korea and Sweden.

On January 13, 2010, Volvo announced that it would invest 65 million SEK to begin producing crawler excavators in Brazil, taking advantage of government run, low financing options for products built in country. Beginning in 2010, Volvo announced its new focus entitled "Fit for the Future". Key initiatives include focusing growth and expansion in the "BRIC" countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China). The new focus is set to run through 2012.

CONCLUSION Sales of construction equipment by the world's 50 largest manufacturers grew 25 percent last year to set a record for the industry. Construction equipment sales in 2011 reached $182 billion, surpassing the previous high of $168 billion set in 2008, prior to the global financial crisis, according to the annual Yellow Table survey by KHL Group. The Yellow Table, which is a ranking of the world's 50 largest construction equipment manufacturers, saw relatively few changes at the top of the table, with the industry's long-standing number one and number two, U.S.-based Caterpillar and

Japan's Komatsu, continuing to hold the positions they have had for well over a decade. Climbers inside the Top 10 include Sweden's Volvo Construction Equipment, U.S.based Terex and John Deere, and China's Sany and Zoomlion. These gains came at the expense of Hitachi Construction Machinery (although its revenues were within 0.5 percent of Volvo, the company directly above it) and South Korean Doosan Infracore. China-based XCMG fell out of the top 10, having sat in tenth place for two years. Across the Top 50, U.S.-headquartered companies accounted for 31.2 percent of total revenues, up from 29.5 percent the previous year. It was followed by Japan with a 23.2 percent share, down from 23.5 percent the previous year, and China, which had a 16.9 percent share, up from 15 percent in the 2011 edition of the Yellow Table (based on 2010 revenues). China's construction equipment manufacturers have seen their share of the top 50's revenues climb for six consecutive years. Over the last decade, their share has increased more than ten-fold in percentage terms. In 2003, the first year the yellow table was published, China's manufacturers had a share of just 1.6 percent, worth just $841 million. Today their 16 percent share is worth $30.6 billion. The report's author, Chris Sleight, said, "A rebound in the European, North American and Japanese construction markets was the key driver last year. There was also growth for some of China's larger players, but they faced the first significant headwinds for more than a decade as the country's stimulus spending programs came to an end. Over

the next 12 months the continued recovery in North America is likely to be decisive for the 2013 Yellow Table."
