Imports of selected types of construction machinery and equipment
From 2015 to 2021, annual volumes of special machinery imports to the country varied, allowing for the tracking of dynamics across three key items. Rows are categorized by equipment type: concrete pumps, tower cranes, and forklifts, showing the number of units of each type imported. Units of measurement differ: concrete pumps and cranes are measured in units, while forklifts are in thousands of units; thus, they cannot be compared directly, but individual trends can be observed

How to read this table
This list presents only three equipment categories, allowing for a focus on specific market segments. Comparing rows shows which type of machinery was most frequently purchased in a given year. It is important to note the different scales: while concrete pumps are measured in hundreds, forklifts are reported in thousands, requiring careful attention to the figures
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “concrete pumps, pcs” — 368; the smallest is “bulldozers, graders, planers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, single‑bucket loaders, compaction machines and road rollers, thousand pcs” at 34.3. The gap between them is 10.7-fold.
