About Goodeng’s History and Market Position in Horizontal Directional Drilling
Goodeng specializes in manufacturing trenchless drilling rigs and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment. Founded in the early 2000s, the company quickly gained traction by focusing on cost-effective, durable solutions for urban utility installation and pipeline projects.
Always, Goodeng invests heavily in R&D to optimize rig performance for challenging soil conditions. Its products feature modular designs, enabling easy customization for diverse project needs. Besides, the company holds ISO certifications and collaborates with universities to advance HDD technology.
With a robust dealer network across Asia and Africa, Goodeng competes aggressively in mid-tier markets. It emphasizes affordability without compromising core functionality, making it a preferred choice for contractors in emerging economies. Recent expansions include hybrid-powered rigs to meet global sustainability trends.
In fact, Goodeng is a competent competitor to XCMG. They manufactured and delivered a HDD righ with amazing 1200 Tons pullback force (GS12000-T/TS Figure 1.) a few years ago. Of course that made them under spotlight and boiled the whole industry. Interesting thing is, before or after, XCMG also launched their new giant machine XZ13600 with pullback force of 1360 Tons. Anyway, they are a direct and competent rival to each other.
