Case Study: Indonesian Rental Company Expands Fleet with Used SANY STC250C5-2

Case Study: Indonesian Rental Company Expands Fleet with Used SANY STC250C5-2 Market Background Indonesia’s construction equipment rental market has grown 12% annually since 2020, driven by the government’s National Strategic Projects (PSN) program investing over IDR 4,000 trillion (USD 260 billion) in infrastructure through 2024. For rental companies, fleet expansion timing is critical—too early creates idle equipment costs, too late means missing project opportunities. PT Maju Jaya Konstruksi (MJK), a mid-sized rental company based in Surabaya, faced this precise challenge in late 2025. With three infrastructure projects secured and equipment utilization exceeding 85%, MJK needed to add a 25-ton truck crane to its fleet—but faced capital constraints after recent investments in excavators and concrete pumps. Customer & Application Scenario MJK specializes in equipment rental for industrial construction projects across East Java, serving clients in petrochemical plants, manufacturing facilities, and warehouse construction. The company’s fleet philosophy prioritizes reliability over brand prestige—clients expect equipment that works without downtime. Operational requirements for the new crane: Capacity: 25-ton class, sufficient for most industrial lifting tasks Availability: Needed within 60 days for upcoming project commitments Budget: Maximum IDR 1.5 billion (USD 95,000) including shipping Condition: Reliable for at least 3-4 years of rental service Support: Parts availability and technical assistance for maintenance New 25-ton truck cranes from SANY, XCMG, or Zoomlion were priced at IDR 2.0-2.3 billion (USD 125,000-145,000) in the Indonesian market, with delivery lead times of 4-6 months—far exceeding MJK’s budget and timeline constraints. Our Solution From our 191-unit inventory, we identified and recommended a SANY STC250C5-2 25-ton truck crane matching MJK’s requirements: Parameter Specification Relevance to MJK’s Needs Condition Grade B-grade (Good) Reliable for rental service, 3-4 year lifes

"From Changsha to Africa, there is only one exhibition between us" - the multi-dimensional value of the 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo

​​"From Changsha to Africa, only one exhibition away"-the multi-dimensional value of the 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo The 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (June 12-15, 2025) is themed "China and Africa act together, pursue the dream of modernization", and builds a "golden bridge" connecting China and Africa in Changsha. This grand event is not only a platform for economic and trade cooperation, but also through the in-depth interaction of commodities, culture, technology and talents, it allows China-Africa cooperation to be implemented from macroeconomic policies to ordinary people's life experience. The following is a summary of its core values ​​and innovative highlights:   ​​1. Economic and trade cooperation: from commodity trading to full industrial chain collaboration   ​​Scale and achievements   176 projects were signed with a total amount of US$11.39 billion. The number of projects and the amount increased by 45.8% and 10.6% respectively compared with the previous session. The on-site transaction or intended transaction amount reached RMB 2.5 billion, attracting more than 200,000 visitors. China has implemented zero tariffs on 100% of tariff items for 53 African countries with diplomatic ties with China, further reducing trade barriers. ​​Industry chain upgrade​​   ​​Cross-border e-commerce​​: Platforms such as Kilimall promote "Made in China" to African families through overseas warehouses and community pick-up points (such as 1,500 pick-up points in Kenya), while creating more than 10,000 jobs in Africa.   ​​Capacity cooperation​​: Hunan Free Trade Pilot Zone promotes the transformation of "trade in goods" to "institutional opening", such as building overseas warehouses in Nigeria and bonded warehouses in South Africa to optimize logistics efficiency.   ​​Emerging fields​​   Energy cooperation has become the focus, and Zambia's photovoltaic projects and mine supporting power stations have signed contracts worth US$5.27 billion.   The "China-Africa Fashion Industry Pavilion" was established for the first time. South African designer Tora Sindy plans to open a store in Shanghai to promote African design into the Chinese market. ​​2. Life transformation: "two-way rush" of global good things​​   ​​African products enter Chinese families​​   ​​Coffee and red wine​​: Ethiopian coffee beans have become "explosive" for many consecutive sessions, and South African wines have lowered the price threshold through the expo, changing from "luxury goods" to daily consumer goods. ​​Breakthrough in fresh food logistics​​: Hunan-Guangdong Africa-railway-sea combined transport train enables Kenyan flowers to reach Changsha in 14 hours, with a significant reduction in costs.   ​​Chinese technology improves African life​​   China's second-hand car exports increased by 49.4% year-on-year, and African families directly purchased new energy second-hand cars through the Expo to ease traffic pressure.   Hybrid rice technology helps African agriculture, such as Gambian farmer Moussa Dabo made a special trip to Changsha to thank Academician Yuan Longping for his contribution.   ​​Third, cultural integration: from trading partners to a community of shared destiny​​   ​​Deepening of folk exchanges​​   African dancers improvised dances with Changsha citizens, and the live broadcast expert "Love to Sing Chicken Pot" made African culture "break the circle" through short videos.   The China-Africa Film Week screened 24 films to promote cultural empathy.   ​​Talent interaction​​   African students trained by Hunan universities (such as Qiao Li from Benin) have become "folk messengers" of China-Africa trade, promoting the sale of Hunan agricultural machinery products to Africa. The China-Africa Economic and Trade Research Center recruits international talents, including geological engineers, French translators, etc., to promote "knowledge sharing". ​​Fourth, Future Outlook: Innovation in Cooperation Models and New Paradigms of Globalization​​   ​1. Digital Empowerment​​ The China-Africa Live E-commerce Incubation Center allows consumers to "travel around Africa in the cloud", and companies such as Wondershare Technology provide digital creative tools to help Africa's cultural and creative industries.   2. Sustainable Development​​   Green energy (such as the Sany Group photovoltaic project) and agricultural technology cooperation (such as the Rwanda pepper industry demonstration) have become new growth points.   ​​3. Normalization Mechanism​​ The Expo will "turn exhibitors into investors" through a 365-day operation mechanism, such as the Tanzanian farm project to create 10,000 jobs.
