Heavy truck market "warmed up" ahead of schedule

In July 2006, the heavy truck industry experienced a significant turning point. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, by the end of July, sales of heavy trucks finally broke through the "zero point," achieving a year-on-year growth of 0.87%! After a tough "winter" in 2005, this sign of recovery brought hope and relief to the entire industry. Many leading companies began shifting their focus toward larger tonnage models. This 0.87% growth wasn’t just a coincidence. Starting from the end of 2005, major heavy truck manufacturers like Beiqi Foton, Jinan CNHTC, Nanjing Yuejin, and Shaanxi Auto had already been making strategic adjustments. These efforts helped the industry bounce back earlier than expected, with some segments even showing strong performance in May. Even during mid-2005, sales of heavy trucks over 15 tons continued to grow at an impressive rate of 100%. This trend encouraged many companies to develop high-tonnage models. FAW introduced the Aowei, Nanjing Yuejin launched the Lingye, Dongfeng rolled out the Liuzhou Bolong and Tianlong, and others followed suit. Launching large-tonnage products became a key step for many companies to capture market share, signaling a growing demand for premium, high-performance trucks. However, the market situation changed abruptly in the fall of 2005. With increased government regulation on vehicle overloading and the implementation of weight-based toll systems in certain provinces, it became harder for individual transporters to profit from overloading. These factors led to a slowdown in demand, resulting in what many called a “cold winter” for heavy truck sales. In response, heavy truck companies began to shift their marketing strategies closer to the end users. Since the start of 2006, companies like Beiqi Foton, Jinan CNHTC, Nanjing Yuejin, and Shaanxi Auto made significant changes, moving away from the traditional seller mindset. They focused more on fuel-efficient products and user-centric services, which resonated well with the buyer's market. At a recent new product launch, two fuel-efficient models stood out: Shaanxi Auto’s 06 and Nanjing Steamer. Shaanxi Auto claimed that its 06 model could reduce fuel consumption by 15%, while Nanjing Yuejin’s Lingye was marketed as a "fuel-saving pioneer," using slogans like "save 90 yuan per day and 30,000 yuan per year." These campaigns captured attention and built trust among customers. During the off-season in July and August, several companies organized special promotions. For example, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group launched the “Exploration of the Sources of the Millions of Pulses,” Nanjing Auto Leap Forward introduced the “Entrepreneurship Fund,” and Shaanxi Auto held a “Fuel Saving Summer Camp.” These initiatives kept the market active even during slower periods. Zhu Guodong, General Manager of Yuejin Sales Co., Ltd., emphasized that for non-consumer goods like heavy trucks, the same principle applies as with personal vehicles—“treat the truck like a person.” NAC aimed to go beyond just selling products, focusing instead on creating value for users. For those who supported Nanjing Auto, the company promised not only to help them “get on the horse” but also to “send them on the ride”—a gesture that reflected long-term commitment and customer care. Industry experts noted that the marketing approach for heavy trucks was evolving rapidly. Traditional “car-focused” service models were being replaced with more personalized, user-centered strategies. This deeper engagement with customer needs highlighted a broader trend: the shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market. As competition intensified, companies that truly understood and addressed user demands were likely to succeed in the long run.

Base jacks are usually made out of steel and are adjustable to various lengths. The adjustments are made based on the amount of weight it needs to bear. They can also be made in a variety of configurations, such as swivels that adjust to sloped ground.

For scaffolds that are built off other structures like steel beams, base plates can be replaced with shoring heads (U-heads, for example).
