Based on the 2024 annual review of agricultural machinery industry released by Agricultural Machinery Connect, the market of traditional tractors and harvesters in China is saturated, with overall industry sales declining for two consecutive years. The scale of livestock machinery market even dropped more than 30% year-on-year, pushing the agricultural machinery industry into a stock replacement cycle. Against this backdrop, the state vigorously launches supporting policies for forest and fruit mechanization in hilly and mountainous areas, ushering in an upward window of growth for small orchard-specific agricultural machinery against the market trend.
The scale of standardized contiguous orchards for apples, citrus and cherries in China keeps expanding year by year. Labor costs of the traditional manual picking mode with A-frame ladders climb annually, with labor expenditure accounting for over 40% of total orchard production costs. Dual-person synchronous aerial working equipment has become a rigid demand for large-scale planting cooperatives. The Junjin STN7500 tracked scissor-type agricultural and forestry lifting platform precisely matches operational demands of large-scale orchards. The equipment boasts a rated load capacity of 250kg, and an expandable workbench supports two workers to conduct pruning, bagging and picking operations simultaneously, drastically cutting the operation time per mu.
The equipment is equipped with a 48V high-power electric walking system with a travel speed up to 3km/h. The narrow body design fits the standard row spacing of fruit trees. Widened anti-slip rubber tracks adapt to muddy orchards after rain and gentle slope plots within 12 degrees, preventing slipping and trapping. The sealed hydraulic system fits dusty and humid field working conditions, with a single full charge supporting continuous operation for 6 to 8 hours. Relying on differentiated product advantages, the STN7500 has long ranked first in consultation volume among scissor lifting equipment under the orchard machinery category on Agricultural Machinery Connect, becoming a core model for bulk procurement by large-scale domestic orchards and agricultural machinery leasing enterprises.
At present, niche tracks of "specialized, sophisticated, distinctive and innovative" agricultural machinery gain prominent advantages, avoiding the red ocean competition of traditional field agricultural machinery. There exists broad space for import substitution of forest and fruit aerial working equipment. Junjin Heavy Industry continuously optimizes customized schemes for platform anti-corrosion, material hoppers and heightened guardrails. Supported by policy dividends for hilly orchards, we simultaneously develop distribution channels in multiple fruit-growing provinces domestically and overseas orchard export markets in Southeast Asia.
