Hello friends, it's okay with you?
First, forgive me if there are any mistakes in my text, because English is not my native language and not speak so well.
Let the chase ...
My name is Humberto and work with eartworks and earthmoving since 1979 throughout the metropolitan region of S�o Paulo city and neighboring towns cities like Osasco, Cotia, Embu and cities in the interior of state, such as Campinas, for example.
In 1980 I founded my company under the name of Umarizal Terraplenagem (Umarizal Earthworks, in English) and from then realize several works in the area of earthmoving using equipment like wheel loaders, track type loaders, backhoes, skid steers and of course, dump trucks.
Between 1980 and 2000, here in Brazil, the crawler loaders / track loaders Traxcavator Caterpillar 933, 941A / 941B (the two most popular), 951 and 955, manufactured in the USA, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, if I'm not mistaken, the most used being reigned in all worksites.
However, from 2000 onwards, at least in Brazil, hydraulic excavators as PC 150 and PC 200 by Komatsu and 315 and 320 by Caterpillar become popular in such a way that today we only see these models in all works. How to wear the undercarriage excavators, the more expensive the maintenance of these machines is much lower compared to crawler loaders, there is no longer priced like having to work with a Caterpillar 941, for example.
Today, where we used a Caterpillar 933 or 941, currently use as a skid steer loader Case 95XT or Case 465 with a mini excavator Yanmar VIO80 or one backhoe loader as Case 580N or Caterpillar 416E, always more affordable price than a track loader.
I wonder if other countries the loaders mats are also every day losing more market or are still widely used.
At least here in Brazil, all are fading. Even my company, is one of the few that still has track loader mats in the country.
Thank you for your attention and a hug!
