According to Foton Motor's data, in February, Foton's Cummins Engine sold 22,300 units. In January-February 2017, Foton Cummins Engine sold a total of 43,700 units, an increase of 46.02% year-on-year. The February may be just the “latency period†of the sales explosion of Foton Cummins.

Why February is the “latency period†of Foton Cummins’ sales explosion? Because on February 27th, Foton Cummins just released a four-cylinder product that can replace the six-cylinder engine in China’s ISF 4.5L State V engine. The model is likely to start in March and become the "leader" for the sales growth of Foton Cummins.
According to Guan Zhanghua, general manager of Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., “The ISF4.5L model is based on the classic Cummins B series mid-power platform with a global inventory of over 5 million units and was developed on the existing F series power. ISF4 .5L's five products are a revolutionary product that surpasses the traditional four-cylinder machine and is comparable to the low-horsepower six-cylinder machine in terms of power performance, reliability, and high efficiency. It is an epoch-making product.†Since the launch of the ISF4.5L engine, the industry Already, the user has chosen this model to replace the existing six-cylinder in-card.

At present, China's China Card market can sell more than 200,000 vehicles a year, and the ISF 4.5L engine will gradually replace the domestic low-horsepower six-cylinder engine in the China Card, which will become a new best-selling model in China Card Power. Huge sales increase. From the following points of view, it is not impossible for Foton Cummins to achieve such ambition.
First, replace the six-cylinder machine with enough power. According to the China Truck Network, the ISF4.5L's five-engine power coverage range is 165-210 hp, and the maximum torque is 760 N.m. The increase in power can exceed 34 kW/L, and the engine is higher than the competitor in the full speed range. At present, China’s mid-cap market still has a lot of six-cylinder machines with 160-180 hp. In terms of power, the ISF 4.5L engine can fully meet the needs of Chinese card users.
Second, the four-cylinder machine occupies a weight advantage. The ISF 4.5L engine has a net weight of only 330kg, which is 200-300kg lighter than the six-cylinder engine. Nowadays, the government is increasingly strict with the government, and the weight of the engine and the vehicle is 300kg, which means that the user can pull 300kg more cargo to bring extra benefits. In addition, the ISF 4.5L engine optimises fuel economy and achieves 2-5% fuel economy, fully meeting the economical needs of users.

Third, the advantages of acquisition costs and maintenance costs. Compared to the six-cylinder machine, the cost for the user to buy a four-cylinder machine is much lower, which is the purchase cost. In terms of maintenance costs, the ISF 4.5L engine adopts a modular design, the number of parts is reduced by 40%, and the engine has increased the 14L oil sump to achieve an average of 40,000 km of maintenance mileage, 4 times higher than the competing products, and maintained by a kilometer. The cost is only 1/4 of similar products.
From the above three points, it can be seen that Foton Cummins has done enough “homework†to achieve the goal of replacing the low-horsepower six-cylinder machine in China Card. From the product level, today’s users will be more inclined to more cost-effective engines. However, it remains to be seen whether the ISF 4.5L engine will lead to the explosion of sales of Foton Cummins.
A limiter for a Tower Crane is a safety device that is installed to prevent the crane from operating beyond its maximum load capacity or from moving beyond its designated working area. It typically consists of sensors, control systems, and alarms to ensure safe operation.
The load limiter is designed to monitor the load being lifted by the crane and automatically stop the crane's movement if the load exceeds the specified limit. It helps prevent overloading, which can lead to structural failure or accidents.
The radius limiter is used to restrict the crane's movement within a specific working area. It ensures that the crane does not extend beyond its designated radius, preventing it from colliding with nearby structures or obstacles.
Both types of limiters are essential safety features in tower cranes to protect workers, equipment, and the surrounding environment. They help ensure that the tower crane operates within its safe working limits and minimize the risk of accidents or damage.
