en.Wedoany.com Reported - Li Liwan, General Manager of Shanghai Jintai Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd., recently led an international marketing and service team to Turkey to visit clients and inspect construction sites. At a storage tank project site in Istanbul, two of Jintai's early classic models, the SD28W and SH36W, are still operating stably. These two units entered the Turkish market in 2013, making them among the first Chinese-brand drilling rigs to enter the country, and have been in continuous operation for over ten years. Data shows that the SH36W has accumulated 43,826 hours of operation, while the SD28W has accumulated 31,000 hours.
The equipment user is a well-known piling foundation contractor in Turkey. Adhering to strict equipment maintenance procedures, the company has meticulously maintained the equipment for over a decade. Core components such as the engine and main pump have never been replaced and continue to operate stably; only the first section of the drill rod produced by Jintai's original factory has been replaced, with the remaining three sections still being original parts.
The Turkish market is a key market in the global foundation engineering sector, featuring diverse geological conditions that integrate different construction methods from Asia and Europe. It is regarded as a critical region for Chinese equipment to enter the European market. Jintai, as an enterprise with a century-long history, takes specialized technical equipment as its core competitiveness. Its product line has evolved from early SD/SH series multifunctional drilling rigs, SG hydraulic diaphragm wall grabs, SX double-wheel cutters, and SC hydraulic milling mixing drills to an intelligent and green product matrix.

This trip to Turkey is part of Jintai's commitment to global service. The company stated that globalization is not just about product sales, but also about integrating into local markets and building long-term trust relationships.
