SMART CHOICE OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT:
affordable + 5 years warranty
XCMG is one of the world's leading heavy equipment manufacturers, with more than 80 years of experience in the development and production of construction machinery. Two important advantages over other brands are the XCMG machines affordable price and the possibility of extending FIVE YEARS warranty.
When choosing heavy equipment, decisions are often made based on purchase price, habit, or brand. However, this approach ignores the fact that an excavator does not make money by buying or standing still - it only makes money by working and through production results. In the construction industry, payment is made for the output, which is the cubic meter excavated. Therefore, a machine must be evaluated as a means of production with a measurable cost per unit of both time and output throughout its life cycle.
The following table shows the TCO of XCMG and another competing brand (Total Cost of Ownership) or total cost comparisons. TCO includes purchase price (CAPEX), maintenance and spare parts costs, fuel, depreciation and residual value. All assumptions are conservative and correspond to the actual usage profile of the Estonian construction market.
TCO €/h shows how expensive the machine is per operating hour over its entire life cycle. Every €1/h difference means a difference of approximately €10,000 over 10,000 operating hours. The advantage of the XCMG XE220E excavator comes from its lower initial investment and controlled maintenance cost structure.
Objects to assess profitability However, it is worth looking at the last column, which shows the TCO per cubic meter. The customer pays for cubic meters, not working hours: every 0,01 €/m³ difference means a difference of approximately 9,000 € for a working volume of 900,000 m³.
CUSTOMER EXAMPLE SCENARIO:
Object: 300,000 m³ excavation work
Total cost of XCMG XE220E: ~113,000 €
Compared to a machine with a price of 0,40 €/m³, this means a saving of approximately 6,900 € per site, without compromising productivity.
Business conclusion: XCMG XE220E is a rational choice for a company that makes decisions based on numbers, not habit. Over a 5-year and 10,000-hour period, the XE220E offers low total cost of ownership, stable productivity, and clear economic benefits for both the general contractor and the rental company.
Extended warranty – the assurance that keeps your machine running
Work cannot stand still: one unexpected failure can mean not only expensive repairs, but also downtime, delays on site, lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction. Therefore, an extended warranty is a practical and cost-effective solution for anyone who uses agricultural, construction or landscaping machinery on a daily basis and wants to protect their investment in the long term. An extended warranty helps cover the costs associated with an unexpected mechanical or electrical failure and ensures that the machine is back in working order as quickly as possible. It is a sense of security that helps to avoid large unexpected expenses and keep work processes under control.
Why choose an extended warranty?
- Less risk, more uptime
Machine downtime always means loss. The purpose of an extended warranty is to ensure that critical failures are resolved quickly and smoothly, so that the machine is back in operation as soon as possible. - Protection even after the factory warranty expires
Once the factory warranty expires, the entire repair risk remains with the customer. An extended warranty allows you to keep your protection in effect even after the manufacturer's warranty expires and plan your costs more securely. - Flexible choice according to need
The warranty can be selected according to the machine's usage load, value and nature of the work. It is possible to choose packages with different coverage, which include, for example:
* engine and transmission,
* gearbox and drive system,
* hydraulics,
* electrical and electronic systems.
This means that the customer only pays for the protection they really need. - Higher resale value
An extended warranty increases the reliability and value of the machine in the aftermarket. It makes resale easier and often allows you to achieve a higher selling price.
Who is the extended warranty suitable for?
The extended warranty is intended primarily for companies and machine fleets whose work depends on reliable technology:
- Construction and road construction companies;
- Rental equipment providers;
- Agricultural enterprises and farms;
- Logistics and industrial companies;
- Landscaping and utility services;
- Companies that want to keep maintenance costs under control.
An investment that pays off
An extended warranty costs a fraction of the cost of major repairs, but helps prevent a situation where one unexpected failure affects the outcome of an entire project or season.
When your machine is working, it makes money. When it is idle, costs increase.
An extended warranty helps you keep your work on track and your costs under control.
