From the delivery of the first ultra-large excavator to praise from ambassadors of six nations—SDLG is accelerating growth in the African market.

Since 2026, investment in African infrastructure and mining has continued to heat up, driving an accelerated surge in demand for construction machinery. SDLG has ramped up its efforts across the African market, achieving comprehensive breakthroughs in sales volume, brand influence, customer partnerships, and service infrastructure. By leveraging robust product capabilities and a strategy of deep localization, the company has delivered impressive growth results in the region.

In the first half of 2026, the total market volume for wheel loaders and excavators across Africa saw significant growth. Seizing this opportunity, SDLG achieved simultaneous increases in loader sales volume and market share, surpassing its annual targets; meanwhile, the company made breakthroughs in several key regions, with its excavator business demonstrating steady, positive momentum. These impressive results are underpinned by a refined operational strategy of "tailoring approaches to local conditions and achieving breakthroughs point by point."

The following are images of SDLG equipment participating in major projects across Africa.

China–South Africa
In the highly competitive South African market, Lingong has secured contracts with several leading benchmark clients—achieving a critical breakthrough in the high-end sector—thanks to its robust product capabilities and comprehensive, on-the-ground services.

A breakthrough delivery. Recently, the first batch of SDLG ultra-large excavators arrived at a major metal mine in South Africa, marking the first delivery of this class of machinery in the region. Equipped with high-power engines and efficient hydraulic systems, the machines feature a reinforced design for heavy-duty applications, enabling them to easily handle high-intensity, continuous operations. The technical service team meticulously managed every stage—from transport and assembly to commissioning, training, and final acceptance. The equipment is currently operating stably with robust power, earning unanimous praise from the customer.

Another breakthrough has been achieved in direct sales. Following previous successes, the first E6215H medium-sized excavator in the South African region was successfully delivered via the direct sales channel, marking a new milestone for Lingong’s medium excavator business in the local market. Engineered to excel in the harsh, heavy-duty operating conditions typical of Africa, the E6215H features performance optimizations; its core strengths—stability, durability, and fuel efficiency—directly address key customer pain points. This delivery rounds out Lingong’s full lineup of excavators in Southern Africa, injecting new momentum into the acceleration of local infrastructure development.
