Brands with high awareness and good reputation tend to have higher prices for small excavators. These brands usually excel in product quality, performance and after-sales service and are widely recognised by consumers. The market share of a brand also affects the price. Brands with larger market share may have some flexibility in pricing due to their scale effect and cost advantage. They can reduce unit costs through mass production and thus offer more competitive prices while maintaining profits.
Engine power is one of the important factors affecting the price of small excavators. The higher the power of the engine, the more powerful it can provide, so that the small excavator in the excavation of hard soil, rocks and other working conditions to perform well. For example, the price of a small excavator equipped with a high-performance engine is much higher than that of a small excavator of the same type but with a less powerful engine. The brand and quality of the engine also have an impact on the price. Engines of well-known brands usually have better reliability, durability and fuel economy, which can reduce the failure rate and operating costs of the equipment, so the price of small excavators equipped with these engines will be correspondingly higher.
The quality and performance of the working devices such as the boom, bucket and buckets of a small excavator also have a significant impact on the price. High-strength, wear-resistant working devices can withstand greater working pressure, improve efficiency, but will also increase the production cost, so that the price of small excavators rise. For example, some small excavators using special steel manufacturing working device, its price is much higher than similar equipment made of ordinary materials. The functional versatility of the work unit also affects the price. Some small excavators are equipped with replaceable attachments, such as crushing hammers, wood grabbers, hydraulic shears, etc. These additional features increase the flexibility and practicality of the equipment, but will also make the price increase accordingly.
The performance of the hydraulic system directly affects the working efficiency and operating precision of the small excavator. An advanced hydraulic system can provide smoother power output, faster response and higher working efficiency. However, an advanced hydraulic system will increase the manufacturing cost of the equipment, thus increasing the market price.
In general, the larger the overall weight and size of a small excavator, the higher its price. Larger sized small excavators usually have stronger working capacity and larger digging range, which are suitable for large engineering projects and mining operations, etc.
Modern small excavators pay more and more attention to the comfort of the operator, the level of the interior and comfort configuration will affect the price. For example, small excavators equipped with luxury seats, air conditioning systems, multifunctional displays and other configurations can provide operators with a comfortable working environment and convenient operating experience, but these increase the cost, thus making the price rise.
When the market demand for small excavators is strong, the price tends to rise when the supply exceeds the demand. For example, during the peak of infrastructure construction or the mining boom, the demand for small excavators soars, and suppliers may raise prices to make higher profits. Conversely, when market demand is low, suppliers may lower prices in order to boost sales.
