Recently, the Shantui DH46-C3 large-horsepower bulldozer made its official debut at an open-pit coal mine operation site in South Africa, marking the first appearance of Shantui's high-end mining equipment in the African market. As the first large-horsepower bulldozer to enter South Africa, its stable performance has laid a key foundation for the subsequent integrated layout of mining machinery.
Covering an area of 80 square kilometers with an annual output of 500,000 to 600,000 tons, this medium-small open-pit coal mine is currently in the early stage of developing its third pit. The DH46-C3 undertakes core tasks such as earthwork stripping and pit backfilling. Through an "equipment-plus-service" integrated model, Shantui and its agency team have deployed on-site tracking services to ensure construction efficiency, enabling the DH46-C3 to achieve stable operation under high load for 14 hours per day on average. Its reliable performance has directly established the brand's reputation, attracting continuous attention from surrounding coal mines. Some enterprises have explicitly stated they will prioritize introducing Shantui equipment once its stability is verified, solidifying the foundation for Shantui's local market expansion.
This breakthrough is not only a single-project success for Shantui but also serves as the latest strategic pivot for its integrated mining equipment to enter the South African market. In the future, Shantui will continue to deepen its presence in the African market, providing more efficient and reliable equipment solutions for mining development in the region.
