What is Hasson’s invention?

Bingcheng creates fans with its strength! The test samples of this "artifact" developed by "Hasongtuo" were "forcibly bought"丨The former "logging hero" returned to the forest after transformation"

"Hasongtuo", a man who once worked in the forestry industry A well-known manufacturing enterprise. After several years of silence, at the 19th Harbin Manufacturing Expo that ended not long ago, the company once again became the focus of attention in the industry with orders worth tens of millions of yuan.

The sales intentions have been reached not only with the traditional track-type forestry skidding tractor, but also with the new product jointly developed by "Hasong Tow" and Northeast Forestry University in recent years - the crawler-type forest fire-fighting truck. This is also a secret weapon thrown out by "Hasongtuo" after embarking on the road of transformation.

At the end of this month, Hasontuo will also officially roll off the production line and deliver the first batch of 20 sets of mass-produced light forest firefighting trucks. From the former forest logging "creepers" to today's "forest guards", what kind of development has Hasongtuo experienced?

Once a star product, now only 4 units are sold a year

In the 1960s, it was listed by the country as one of the "seven to eight domestic" industry enterprises. The only professional manufacturer in China that produces forestry skidding tractors. It is today's Harbin Songjiang Tractor Co., Ltd.

Before 2014, Hasongtuo and its "Ivy" brand skidding tractors were well-known in major forest areas. They have high horsepower and strong mountain climbing capabilities. They are mainly used to drag wood down the mountain after forestry harvesting. Forestry workers are as familiar with "creepers" as they are old friends.

In order to protect the sustainable development of forestry resources, since 2014, the country has successively implemented a comprehensive ban on commercial forest logging in major forest areas across the country. Hasontuo's star product, the forestry skidding tractor, was also shelved.

“In those years when we went to forest areas, we saw many forest farms putting our tractors on booths in squares or on the roadside. The big slogans on the booths read: Past heroes will be remembered in history, and we say goodbye to the forest. ." Ma Wenliang, executive deputy general manager of Hasongtuo, said with emotion, "My heart was filled with mixed feelings at that time, and tears were rolling in my eyes."

From 2014 to 2017, sales orders for the former flagship product, the crawler-type forestry skidding tractor, dropped sharply, and Hazontuo was "forced" to transform. Sales shifted from "internal" to "external", and the main sales volume of the product 90 relies on exports. However, due to the impact of the international environment, the company's sales of forestry tractors in 2018 were only 4 units.

From "sitting in business" to "doing business", the first set of trial runs was ordered

During the difficult transformation period, Hasongtuo aimed at a new direction -

After the total ban on logging, forest firefighting has become the focus of the national forestry department. Since 2016, the demand for forest firefighting equipment and vehicles has increased significantly in forest areas, and many domestic industrial enterprises have also anchored the forest firefighting market. "Hasongtuo" quickly seized market opportunities and went to major forest farms to conduct research and inquire about needs. In the past, Hasontuo's products were good and well-known, and customers flocked to the door while sitting at home. "This time we were forced to go out and sent various people to the forest area. We recommended products to others and communicated product details. After many market surveys and matching needs with each other, we felt confident," Ma Wenliang said The biggest feature of Hasontuo's flagship product, the crawler-type skidder tractor, is its strong mountain climbing ability. With this foundation, it has a comparative advantage when developing forest fire trucks.

In 2016, Hasuntuo teamed up with Northeast Forestry University to jointly develop a crawler-type forest fire truck. In 2017, the project was officially established, with production, adjustments, testing, and improvements. In September 2018, Hazon Tow’s first lightweight crawler-type forest fire truck with a dead weight of 4 tons officially rolled off the production line. It has a built-in water tank that can hold 1.5 tons of water, a water cannon with a range of up to 30 meters, and four water cannon interfaces.

When the first light fire truck off the production line was undergoing field inspection in the Bailang Forestry Bureau of Inner Mongolia, it was spotted by the local Forestry Bureau at a glance, and they made a decision to order this (vehicle) on the spot. Ha Song In this way, the first set of forest fire trucks towed was launched on the market.

Opportunity favors those who are prepared.

In 2017, the National Innovation Alliance for Forest and Grassland Fire Prevention and Control Technology was established. Hasontuo became one of the first state-owned enterprises to enter the innovation alliance and also became the test base of the innovation alliance.

Farewell to the forest and return to the forest, old state-owned enterprises embark on the road of innovation

Innovation is the real way out, and innovation can achieve development. At present, although Hassontuo's new car has not yet achieved mass production, orders have been scheduled. "Inner Mongolia's Wuchagou Forestry Bureau plans to purchase 10 units, the Northern Aviation Forest Guard Station plans to purchase 4 units, and 6 more units are needed for field testing in the northern forest area of ??Inner Mongolia. At the moment, the company is operating at full capacity and going all out to speed up the production of new products." Ma. Wen Liang told reporters that at the end of this month, these 20 forest fire trucks will be rolled out to deliver orders. Among them, 6 forest fire trucks will be sent to the forest areas in northern Inner Mongolia for forest fire experiments.

“We said goodbye to the forest last time, and this time we are returning to the forest. From assisting in logging and hauling in forest areas in the past to fire protection and forest cultivation, our company has also accelerated the pace of transformation.” This year, Hasontuo expects to produce 50 sets of crawler-type forest fire-fighting trucks to supply the market. In addition to the light and heavy tracked forest firefighting vehicles that have begun mass production, the company is currently also developing multi-purpose medium-sized forest firefighting equipment vehicles, such as fire command vehicles, cooking trucks, pontoon trucks, camping trucks, etc.

As the experimental base of the Innovation Alliance, Beijing Forestry University has also placed two research projects on forest firefighting vehicles in Hasongxing. “One is for clearing obstacles on forest firefighting roads. A road tow truck, and a fire-fighting truck used to clean up flammable materials in forests in spring. "Ma Wenliang said that these two projects were also developed based on the fire-fighting needs of major domestic forest farms, and the future market is also very bright. big.

In addition to getting out of the predicament of the company itself, Ma Wenliang also has a bigger dream, which is to assemble entire vehicles. At present, there are 20 or 30 downstream companies in Harbin that provide supporting products for Songtuo. If Hasongtuo breaks into the big market, it will drive the rapid growth of a number of industrial enterprises in Harbin.
