We will be displaying our versatile, CEV IV-compliant backhoe loader model Shinrai Prime, our newly- launched, indigenously-developed, NextGen 3-tonne mini excavator model NX30 along with some of our mid-range construction excavators. Also, on display will be parts, attachments, and solutions offered by us.”
