Shanghai Yekun Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. Makes Strong Debut at CTT Expo 2026 in Moscow

Pavilion 1, Booth 3-10 | May 26–29, 2026 | Crocus Expo, Moscow

Shanghai Yekun Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., the manufacturer of VIBRA hydraulic pile drivers and vibratory hammers, is participating in the 26th edition of CTT Expo 2026 — the largest construction equipment trade fair in Russia and Eastern Europe — taking place from May 26 to 29 at Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow. Located at Pavilion 1, Booth 3-10, the company is showcasing its full range of hydraulic pile driving solutions, including the FV-280R 360° rotating pile driver, the Taiwan Hammer series (PCF-330/450/500), and photovoltaic pile driving systems. With Russia emerging as China’s largest export market for construction machinery and the country actively pursuing import substitution policies, CTT Expo 2026 represents a strategic opportunity for Shanghai Yekun to connect with Russian contractors, foundation specialists, and equipment distributors, as well as buyers from Kazakhstan, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

CTT Expo is Russia’s premier international trade fair for construction equipment and advanced technologies, held annually at Crocus Expo in Moscow. Now in its 26th year, the 2026 edition covers five halls across two pavilions plus extensive outdoor exhibition areas, showcasing machinery from over 1,700 exhibitors representing more than 40 countries. The exhibition is expected to attract over 80,000 professional visitors, with 70% coming from Russia and 30% from neighboring countries including Kazakhstan, Belarus, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Chinese exhibitors are particularly prominent, making up approximately 35% of total exhibitors.

A VIBRA hydraulic pile driver is an excavator-mounted attachment that uses hydraulic power to generate high-frequency vertical vibration. The vibration liquefies surrounding soil, drastically reducing friction and allowing steel sheet piles, concrete piles, H-beams, and photovoltaic piles to be driven or extracted quickly and quietly. The VIBRA FV-R series features 360° rotation and ±30° tilt capabilities, vibration frequencies up to 2,800 rpm, and centrifugal forces ranging from 117 kN to 372 kN.

At Pavilion 1, Booth 3-10, Shanghai Yekun’s team is conducting live demonstrations, distributing technical datasheets, and engaging in face-to-face consultations with potential clients from Russia and beyond. Visitors to the booth can see the FV-280R model in operation and discuss custom configurations for specific soil conditions and project requirements.

The Russian construction equipment market is currently undergoing a significant transformation. Several factors are driving this shift:

1. Western Sanctions and Supply Gaps
Following international sanctions, many Western brands have withdrawn from the Russian market or face severe supply constraints. This has created an urgent need for reliable alternative suppliers. Chinese manufacturers have stepped in to fill this gap — Russia has become China’s largest export destination for construction machinery, with Chinese brands now commanding over 60% market share in certain segments such as loaders and mining equipment.

2. Rapidly Growing Infrastructure Spending
Russia has announced plans to invest $105–200 billion by 2030 in upgrading high-speed rail networks, ports, smart agriculture, and other infrastructure projects, driving annual growth in the construction machinery market of 6–8%. This surge in activity requires a steady supply of piling and foundation equipment for bridges, pipelines, and industrial facilities.

3. Import Substitution Policy (Lokalizatsiya)
The Russian government is actively pursuing an “import substitution” strategy, aiming to achieve 60–80% localization of construction equipment production by 2030. However, local manufacturers still rely heavily on imported components — particularly hydraulic systems and drivetrain parts — creating opportunities for specialized Chinese manufacturers like Shanghai Yekun to supply complete units or critical components.

For contractors and equipment distributors facing these market pressures, the VIBRA series offers distinct advantages:

Furthermore, 88% of CTT Expo attendees possess purchasing decision authority, meaning every conversation at Booth 3-10 is a potential business opportunity.

The company’s presence at Pavilion 1, Booth 3-10 is structured to address the specific needs of the Russian and CIS markets:

Demonstrations
Live video feeds and 3D animations show the FV-280R model driving and extracting steel sheet piles in real-world conditions — including frozen ground scenarios relevant to Russian winters. Technical staff explain how the FV-280R’s 335 kN centrifugal force and 2,800 rpm vibration frequency enable rapid penetration even in challenging soils.

Technical Consultation Sessions
Engineering team members are available to discuss:

• Customized configurations for different excavator brands (including popular Russian models)

• Hydraulic system integration requirements

• Corrosion protection options for marine environments

• Preheating system retrofits for cold-weather operation

Spare Parts & Support Discussion
Many visitors have existing fleets of piling equipment. Shanghai Yekun’s team is demonstrating how the company can supply genuine spare parts and provide remote troubleshooting to reduce downtime — a critical value proposition for contractors with tight project schedules.

These specifications are being shared with visitors interested in:

• Port and bridge foundation projects requiring steel sheet piling

• Solar farm installations needing multiple driven piles

• Pipeline trench shoring in permafrost regions

Venue: Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center, Moscow (Mezhdunarodnaya str., 16, 18, 20, Krasnogorsk, Moscow region)
Dates: May 26–29, 2026 (10:00–18:00, May 29: 10:00–16:00)
Admission: Online pre-registration available for free entry.

The show attracts foundation contractors, civil engineering firms, equipment distributors, government procurement officials, and mining companies — all potential end-users of pile driving equipment. With 88% of attendees involved in purchasing decisions, exhibiting at CTT Expo provides direct access to the decision-makers who matter most.

Q1: What types of piles can the VIBRA hydraulic pile driver handle?
A: It drives steel sheet piles (Larsen/U-type), concrete piles up to 12m, H-beams, wood piles, and photovoltaic piles — covering most foundation applications required by Russian infrastructure projects.

Q2: Does the VIBRA driver work in extreme cold (e.g., Russian winters)?
A: Yes. We offer an optional hydraulic oil preheating system. The robust steel structure is engineered to withstand freezing temperatures and maintain consistent performance in permafrost conditions.

Q3: Can I mount a VIBRA driver on my existing excavator?
A: Absolutely. Our FV-250R and FV-280R models are direct bolt-on fits for 15–27 ton excavators, including brands like Hitachi, Komatsu, Volvo, and Sany. Installation takes less than 2 hours.

Q4: What is the warranty period, and is spare parts support available?
A: 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. We ship genuine spare parts (hoses, seals, bearings) to Russia and the CIS within 7–15 days and provide 24/7 remote technical support.

Q5: How does the 360° rotation feature benefit construction sites?
A: It allows operators to position piles at any angle without moving the excavator — a major advantage in tight spaces, bridge overhangs, or when working alongside existing structures.

Q6: Can Shanghai Yekun provide customized solutions for specific soil conditions?
A: Yes. Our engineering team can adjust clamp design, vibration frequency, and centrifugal force parameters to match specific soil types — including rocky ground, clay, and permafrost found across Russia.
