The industry market did take a turn downward in mid-2020, but has since been slowly progressing upwards resulting in an increase in sales of these essential heavy machines. Sales volumes on almost all types of excavators ranging from the Mini Excavator (below 6t) and Small Excavator (6.1-15t) categories, right up to the Medium-sized Excavator (15.1-30t) and even Large-sized Excavator (above 30t) have been increasing gradually since the 3rd quarter of 2020.
