Ural Dealer Visit to China: Deep Cooperation as Hengsheng HSL25 Skid Steer Proves Its Strength in Extreme Cold
The Ural region of Russia experiences winters lasting up to five months, where extreme cold presents one of the toughest challenges for construction machinery. In late 2025, a heavy equipment dealer based in Yekaterinburg submitted a professional inquiry through Alibaba International, seeking skid steer loaders capable of operating reliably at -30°C, while also delivering strong multi-functional snow removal performance.
After multiple video meetings and in-depth technical discussions via WeChat and other platforms, the dealer’s representative, Mr. Ivan, decided to lead his team to Hebei, China, for a three-day on-site technical inspection and factory visit.
Extreme Cold Performance Demonstration at Hengsheng Factory
During the visit to Hengsheng Heavy Industry’s manufacturing facility, Hengsheng arranged a dedicated “extreme cold performance simulation demonstration” specifically tailored for the Russian market. Mr. Ivan closely inspected the customized HSL25 tracked skid steer loader, designed to meet the operational demands of harsh winter conditions.
To ensure stable performance in ultra-low temperatures, Hengsheng equipped the HSL25 with:
Ultra-low temperature hydraulic oil
High-performance batteries
Pre-heating system for cold starts and stable operation
Mr. Ivan also conducted on-site testing of the quick attachment replacement system, witnessing the fast switching process among more than 40 different attachments, including a high-discharge snow bucket and snow sweeping roller brush.
He remarked:
“Hengsheng’s factory scale and its engineering adaptation to Russia’s extreme environment exceeded my expectations. This face-to-face technical exchange gives us strong confidence for future large-volume orders.”
Annual Cooperation Agreement Signed for 50 Units
On the evening after the inspection, both parties officially signed an annual framework cooperation agreement for 50 skid steer loaders at Hengsheng headquarters.
After the first batch of 5 units of HSL25 was delivered in early February 2026, the machines were immediately deployed for municipal snow removal operations in the Ural region. The tracked undercarriage demonstrated outstanding traction on slippery snow-covered roads, while the customized attachments significantly improved snow clearing efficiency, delivering several times higher productivity compared to conventional solutions.
Hengsheng Becomes Key Partner in the Ural Market
Today, this dealer has become Hengsheng’s leading strategic partner in the Ural region, helping Hengsheng successfully establish a strong reputation in Russia for:
“Made in China, Reliable in Extreme Cold.”
This cooperation marks another milestone for Hengsheng in expanding its global presence and providing professional, customized machinery solutions for demanding regional environments.
