Provision of the ukrainian market of construction equipment with lifting equipment and its service

Abstract

In January-March 2020, Ukrainian enterprises performed construction works in the amount of UAH 26,082.8 million. The index of construction products is 94.5% compared to the corresponding period of 2019. New construction accounted for 46.7% of the total output, capital and current repairs - 25.8%, reconstruction and technical re-equipment - 27.5%.

This year's decline in the construction industry is, of course, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even with a certain decline in volume, the number of works being carried out is significant. It is quite natural that these works cannot be performed without lifting equipment.

Construction machines, especially cranes, work in difficult conditions on a variety of sites, foundations and objects. High quality and accuracy of work along with the reliability, durability and maintainability of equipment will be crucial in choosing a machine to perform a particular job. Therefore, extremely important points are the ability to timely deliver the crane, which must meet the needs of the customer, timely maintenance and overhaul, maintenance, quickly provide the necessary spare parts and materials. Therefore, a developed network of service companies in Ukraine can be an important factor in choosing both lifting and other equipment.

A review of the offers of cranes in the network showed about 5 thousand offers of rent and sale of cranes. From this sample we can draw the following conclusions: with a total of 150 manufacturers, more than 10-20 proposals are found from 33 manufacturers, and more than 50 - only from 13 manufacturers of construction cranes. We will analyze the offers and service from these manufacturers on the Ukrainian market of lifting equipment.

The following conclusions can be drawn from the study:

The construction market requires a significant number of lifting machines for various purposes and characteristics. In Ukraine, there are a number of organizations with significant experience in the sale, repair and maintenance of cranes, which act as official dealers and certified service centers. On the territory of Ukraine construction equipment of all leading world manufacturers is used. The offer of crane equipment manufacturers completely covers the need of the construction market for high-quality lifting equipment to perform from the simplest to the most difficult tasks.
