According to 2735 China Construction Machinery Association (CCMA), excavator sales for February hit 9,410, 55.3% above last year’s level.

However, the CCMA has sent letters to manufacturers warning that some leading firms have been winning market share through reducing prices, extending warranty periods and reducing down payments.
