Buyer for tower crane control station

Today received an inquiry about used self erecting tower crane and control station, which is used to control the boom length of the tower crane. This inquiry was from a buyer from Pakistan, this buyer was a dealer of tower cranes. Their main business is to sale tower crane to large construction companies in the country. And renting out tower cranes as well to the companies dealing with small projects or whose tenure of the project is less. Buyer provided us with pictures of the control station he was looking for and said that he needs something of that type.

The issue was that the specific control station which the buyer was looking was not available at our factory and we had to arrange it from somewhere. The company which we contacted for that particular product delayed in providing the quotation and has not yet provided us with the quotation. They backed out in the end by saying that they didn’t have that particular part of tower crane we are looking for. Resulting in spoiling our relation with the buyer and provided a negative image for our company. We didn’t want this to happen because this dealer not only deals in tower cranes but also deals in used mobile tower crane as well.

Buying Request from Indian Buyer

After the two days off Monday is always a tough day at the office. There were inquiries from trade mate on my members profile for used mobile tower crane and tower cranes. As used mobile tower crane is not offered by my member so tower crane inquiry was the one I was focusing on. This buyer mentioned the maximum weight for tower crane he was looking for but did not mention other technical specifications that are required from buyer’s side. The contact details and the email address that was provided by the buyer he seemed to be a good potential one.

As few of his technical specification were missing so decided to give him a call and ask for the details so that we can quote him the price according to his requirement. What he basically required was a usedself erecting tower cranes but as we do not deal in used tower cranes so convinced him on the benefits of getting a new one. He provided us with his detail specification for self erecting type tower crane and asked for FOB price and CIF price to Calcutta, India. His details have been forwarded to our dealer in India and he would be contacting the buyer for further details.

An unexpected call

Today at around 5:30am in the morning received a call from a buyer of Malaysia with whom we were previously in contact with regarding used mobile tower crane but as my member does not offer this product so I informed her that we do not have mobile tower cranes. Immediately she mentioned about an inquiry for a tower crane of a German brand she also mentioned the model and other technical specifications of that tower crane and asked for other services related to the installation and maintenance of the crane. I asked her to email me all the details.

When I reached the office I immediately checked my inbox, from last week there was a pending inquiry for used selferecting tower cranes. That was certainly of no interest to me and to my member. When I strolled down I found an email from the Malaysian dealer containing all the details regarding the inquiry of the tower crane she was mentioning about. When I mentioned all the details to my member he said that the closest to this specification we can offer her is QTZ 7030, which does not fulfill all their specification but is close enough to what they require.

Brazil a potential market

For days we were looking for buyers from Brazil for used self erecting tower cranes, tower cranes and other construction equipments. Finally our search was over when we received an inquiry from my member side. He mailed me an inquiry from Brazil which seemed a very potential inquiry. The buyer seemed like a potential buyer because in his inquiry he provided all the details and specification of the tower crane that he was looking for. He mentioned all the details such as; height, Jib Length, Tip load and maximum weight all the details that are required to quote the buyer for a suitable model of tower crane.

When the contact was made to the buyer he seemed very positive regarding our offer and our company’s offering. He had already gone through our product catalogue and was quite impressed with our offerings to them. He not only discussed with us regarding his requirement for tower cranes but also mentioned about his requirements for used mobiletower crane. He also discussed with us the potential for construct equipment manufacturers in Brazil because of the heavy infrastructure development going on in the country. He also mentioned one of his old dealers in China who he buys all the construction related equipment, and if this deal goes on well with him he might consider us for his future requirements for construction machinery and tower cranes.

Irrelevant inquiries increasing problems

Today started of my day by opening my outlook and checking my mails. At the start of the day saw an inquiry from my member regarding usedself erecting cranes which was certainly of no interest to me because it wasn't relevant to the product my member is offering. Still wasn’t clear why my member has forwarded me that particular inquiry of a buyer. It is something that has been happening for the past few days that irrelevant inquiries has been coming to me for the past few days from my member and I was not getting that why is he doing this when he knows that has nothing to do with our product.

Another irrelevant inquiry that I received today was for usedmobile tower crane which is certainly not relevant to my product once again. When I discussed this thing with my member he made me knew that recently he has set an auto inquiry sender against my mail address that whenever an inquiry relevant to our keyword appears on the portal it is automatically transferred to by inbox. Because of which I was getting a lot of irrelevant inquiries. But the advantage for this is that at times we get some very good potential inquiries as well.

The man with an attitude

Today when I started my day by logging in to my member’s inbox looking for any new inquiries found some new inquiries regarding used self erecting tower cranes and some related to tower cranes as well. One interesting inquiry that was encountered by me was from a buyer of Pakistan. I was expecting such an inquiry because from few days a visitor from Pakistan was continuously coming to our website and was checking the different models of tower cranes, luffing cranes, topless tower cranes that we have.

This buyer from Pakistan placed an inquiry for a very big tower crane which is usually not expected from a buyer usually coming from Pakistan. And the height he required for the tower crane exceeded the height we had for luffing crane. So I decided to call him in order to ask that if he was fine if we quote him for a luffing crane of maximum height 180 meters instead of 250 meters. We could have quoted him for used mobile tower cranes, because we were having mobile cranes similar to that specification. Nevertheless when I called him he was very rude and did not replied to any of my answers properly still because he seemed to be a potential buyer belonging from a good company from Pakistan I decided to send him the quotation. I guess this is one of the lessons you have to learn as time passes by dealing with different types of buyers with different moods. But what one more thing that I think could be a possibility is that these people has to deal with illiterate labor class on daily basis, so they eventually looses the ethics to differentiating between a literate person and an illiterate one.

Bangladesh a hidden market

In the past few days searching for buyers for tower crane, used self erecting tower cranes, luffing cranes and other construction related equipments. Found some very potential buyers coming up from Bangladesh. In the past not a very large amount of buyers came from countries like Srilanka or Bangladesh. But in the past few days there are a lot of buyers coming up from this region. Recently have found some very good potential buyers from these regions and some prospect deals are on its way. We are having very high hopes from these deals and expect that one of these deals will eventually close out.

The best thing about these buyers coming up from Bangladesh is that they don’t have any particular requirements for a particular category of construction related machinery. It has requirements for all the different types of construction related machinery. A great example of this is a buyer which I found last month in October with whom negotiations are in progress for two different models of tower crane the same buyer today provided us with an inquiry on used mobile tower crane. So what all these details highlight is that currently Bangladesh is a very potential market for construction related equipment manufacturers.

Different types of cranes

Qatar the next big thing

Qatar is the next potential market for a number of used self erecting tower cranes, because the current construction projects that are being lined up for Qatar worth about US$ 250 billion. Out of this heavy investment, infrastructure share 34% of the total investment. Because of the FIFA world cup that is going to be held in Qatar in 2022, a lot of resources and funds are planned to be invested on development projects. Since after the time when Qatar won the bid for FIFA World Cup 2022 there has been a 92% increase in the supply of high rise commercial office towers.

Increasing demand and shortening of Supply – Saudi Arabia housing projects

Tower Crane

Saudi government has a very uphill a head of them; it is regarding the housing issue currently faced by a lot of people in the country. The government has a set amount of target for building more houses that it has to achieve by 2014. This mass housing project provides a great opportunity for construction companies, construction equipment companies and used self erecting tower cranes etc. Saudi real estate market is also forecasted to increase by 2013, leading because of the massive growth in the real estate sector and different housing projects taken up by the Saudi Government.

Because of all the current housing and development projects in Saudi Arabia it has attracted the attention of companies that provide used machinery related to construction. For companies providing used construction equipments and for used mobile tower cranes it has been the centre of attraction. The Saudi Mortgage law is also expected to be approved till July. The increasing number of population of the country would require more and more houses till 2020. The Saudi mortgage law would have a great effect on the Saudi real estate market over the short and medium term, which would be allowing approximately 80% or even more Saudi nationals to become first time homeowners.

MENA: the biggest market for construction cranes manufacturers

Tower Crane

Around $ 4.2 trillion construction projects are currently going on in the MENA region. With the biggest chunk of this investment is with UAE that is of about $698 billion. With these large number of construction projects going on in these regions, creating a huge potential market for construction crane manufacturers and used self erecting tower cranes. The construction industry tends to remain at the fore front because of the investment opportunity presented in the region. An example of the huge potential market for construction cranes manufacturers and other construction equipment manufacturers is the BIG 5 that recently took place in the world trade centre at Dubai.

The director of the event has been quoted of saying about the importance of specific product sector. The director’s verdict highlights the importance of one more important product manufacturer that is the passenger hoist suppliers and manufacturers. An increasing market for passenger hoist suppliers could also be seen because of the trillion dollar project going on in the MENA region. These construction projects are basically going to boost the demand for facilities management in the long run for MENA region, hence also providing an opportunity for used equipment suppliers for example used tower crane suppliers.

Most of these projects are being led by the government. Most of the budget of the government would be focused on infrastructure development within the region. This would lead to the development of facilities management companies and their focus will also increase on particular maintenance and infrastructure facilities. UAE alone represents a huge market for used mobile tower cranes because of the 28.8 billion construction contracts awarded in the year 2011 alone, hence increasing the demand for facilities management. Facilities management is hence linked with companies providing used construction equipment such as; used tower crane suppliers and other essential construction related equipment.
