At BAUMA Shanghai 2020 (November 24–27), TONKEE welcomed an Indonesian client with whom it has fostered a trust-based collaboration since 2013. The partnership has centered on supplying high-performance replacements for HITACHI excavators, addressing the client’s needs in mining, plantation, and infrastructure projects across Indonesia.
ISUZU Engine Components:
TONKEE displayed precision-engineered parts including cylinder heads, crankshafts, and fuel injectors, compatible with ISUZU engines in HITACHI ZX series excavators. Each component undergoes NDT (non-destructive testing) to ensure tensile strength (≥850MPa) and thermal stability, reducing engine downtime by 40%.
China-Made Wear Parts:
• Bucket Pins & Bushings: Forged from 42CrMo alloy steel (HRC48–52), these parts resist abrasion in tropical soil conditions, with a service life 1.5x longer than OEM equivalents.
• Excavator Buckets: Fabricated from HARDOX 450 wear plate, the buckets feature reinforced side cutters and replaceable teeth, optimized for heavy-duty digging in volcanic ash and laterite.
• Track Chains: High-tensile chains (breaking strength ≥580kN) with sealed lubrication channels, designed to withstand humidity and mud in Indonesian job sites.
The Indonesian client praised TONKEE’s parts for:
Performance Parity: Engine components matched HITACHI’s fuel efficiency (12% better than local alternatives).
Logistical Efficiency: 72-hour delivery via sea freight to Jakarta, supported by TONKEE’s regional warehouse in Surabaya.
Cost Savings: 30–40% lower procurement costs compared to OEM parts, without compromising quality.
Post-exhibition, the teams celebrated with traditional Shanghai cuisine, reinforcing the partnership’s blend of business excellence and cultural rapport.
TONKEE’s participation in BAUMA 2020 underscored its role as a key supplier to Southeast Asia’s construction boom. With Indonesia’s infrastructure investment projected to reach $40 billion by 2025, the company’s HITACHI-compatible solutions address critical needs for durable, affordable machinery parts in tropical environments.
This collaboration exemplifies TONKEE’s strategy of combining technical expertise with regional market understanding, solidifying its position as a trusted partner for global construction fleets.
