Recently, a customer from Poland visited our production base to inspect the equipment and ultimately purchased a T480 skid steer loader. This cooperation not only demonstrates the competitiveness of our products in the international market but also reflects the European customer's recognition of the quality of Chinese manufacturing.
Customer Background: The customer is from central Poland and primarily engages in agricultural facility maintenance and small-to-medium-sized engineering construction. With the expansion of their business, the customer urgently needed a versatile and efficient multi-functional machine capable of adapting to varying terrains for daily farm maintenance, livestock shed cleaning, and small-scale earthmoving operations.
Customer Needs:
Adaptability to Complex Terrain:The undulating terrain and limited operating space in rural Poland necessitate excellent mobility and maneuverability.
Multi-functional Application:The equipment needs to be able to quickly change attachments to meet various operational needs, from loading to cleaning.
Ease of Operation:Some operators in the customer's team have limited experience, requiring the equipment to be simple and easy to use.
Reliability:The equipment needs to operate stably in harsh winters and humid environments to reduce maintenance costs.
Inspection Process:After initially understanding the T480's technical specifications, the customer decided to visit the factory for an on-site inspection. During the one-day visit, the client focused on the following aspects:
Production Line Process: A detailed inspection was conducted on the frame welding process, hydraulic pipeline layout, and assembly precision.
Performance Testing: On-site observation of the equipment's hill-climbing test, 360° rotation demonstration, and attachment quick-change process.
Material Inspection: Special attention was paid to steel thickness, track material, and corrosion protection treatment of key components.
Operating Experience: The client personally test-drove the equipment, evaluating its maneuverability in simulated confined spaces.
Key Factors in Choosing the T480
After a comprehensive inspection, the client highly praised the following features of the T480:
1. Excellent Maneuverability
Compact Design: Overall dimensions of 2169×1120×1300mm, with a width of only 1040mm, perfectly adapting to the narrow passageways of traditional Polish farms.
Flexible Steering: 360° on-the-spot rotation capability, demonstrating excellent operational flexibility in limited spaces.
Powerful Engine: Equipped with a Yanmar/Kubota three-cylinder engine, delivering 15.2-17.1kW of power to meet diverse operational needs.
2. Reliable Engineering Quality
Rugged Construction: Constructed with thickened steel and reinforced key components to ensure reliability under long-term heavy-duty operation.
Professional Tracks: High-stability triangular rubber track system with a 900mm ground contact length, maintaining stability even on soft ground.
Efficient Heat Dissipation: Hydraulic oil cooling system ensures the equipment does not overheat during continuous operation.
3. Environmental Compliance
Complies with EPA/EURO 5 emission standards, meeting EU environmental requirements.
Low-noise design, suitable for operation near residential areas.
4. Multifunctional Adaptability
Rated load 350kg, maximum load 450kg, meeting daily operation needs.
Quickly changeable attachments for multiple uses.
Customer Testimonials
"Before coming to China, we compared several brands. We ultimately chose the T480 not only because its performance parameters met our needs, but more importantly, because we saw the actual manufacturing process and quality control in the factory. The equipment performed exceptionally well on our farm in Poland, especially its stability on snowy winter ground and muddy spring ground, exceeding our expectations."
Application Scenarios
Currently, this equipment is in use on the customer's farm, mainly for:
Daily cleaning of livestock sheds and bedding replacement
Farm road maintenance and small-scale earthwork projects
Winter snow removal
Material handling and stacking operations
