HD Construction Equipment is accelerating its expansion in the Hong Kong market after successfully securing a major contract for 45 mid-to-large excavators.

On September 16, HD Construction Equipment announced that it will supply a total of 45 units for the Tung Chung Line extension project spearheaded by the MTR Corporation (Hong Kong Railway Corporation). The fleet includes seven 53-ton large excavators and 38 mid-to-large excavators ranging from 14 to 36 tons from its DEVELON lineup.

The supplied equipment will be deployed for the construction of new railway stations and an approximately 1.2-kilometer-long track extension. Because the construction site is on reclaimed coastal land with weak soil conditions, demand is high for specialized machinery, such as long-reach arms capable of long-distance operations. Consequently, the company anticipates potential follow-up orders for its ultra-large 80-ton and 100-ton specialized equipment.

This contract carries significant weight as HD Construction Equipment outperformed price-competitive Chinese rivals by proving its superior product value through outstanding fuel efficiency and customer service. Notably, this milestone breaks through the company’s historical limits in the Hong Kong market, which previously leaned toward smaller fleets or compact-to-mid-size models. By securing this bulk order, the company successfully diversified its product deployments and increased volume at the same time. Moving forward, HD Construction Equipment plans to leverage this momentum to expand its product lineup and capture a larger market share in Hong Kong.

This latest order brings HD Construction Equipment's total sales in Hong Kong this year to 75 units—marking its highest annual supply volume in the local market in the past five years. The company expects to maintain this trajectory, aiming for over 100 units in annual sales through 2029 to cement its premium brand presence.

According to the Hong Kong government, a massive annual budget of approximately HKD 90 billion (KRW 15 billion) has recently been allocated to public infrastructure projects, including public transportation expansion and new town developments. As major undertakings like the Northern Metropolis project—which links Hong Kong to mainland China—gain full traction, the infrastructure budget is projected to expand to an annual average of HKD 120 billion (around KRW 21 billion). This steady government spending is expected to drive consistent, long-term local demand for construction equipment.

“This bulk order carries significant weight as we successfully rebuild our footprint and expand our presence in a market where we historically enjoyed high market share,” an HD Construction Equipment representative stated. “Building upon this success, we will continue to expand our local sales channels and aggressively elevate our brand recognition moving forward.”
