MANN-FILTER expands filter range for Chinese construction machines

Extended OHI portfolio enables workshops to service Chinese equipment in Europe with compatible filtration solutions and improved aftermarket availability.  www.mann-hummel.com Construction equipment maintenance, off-highway vehicle servicing, and aftermarket parts supply are evolving with the growing presence of Chinese machinery brands in Europe. MANN-FILTER has expanded its OHI (Off-Highway Industrial) product range to support workshops servicing these machines with readily available filtration solutions. Manufacturers such as Sany, Sunward, XCMG, Liugong, and Zoomlion are increasing their market share in Europe, driven in part by compliance with Stage V emissions standards. Many of these machines use engines from globally established suppliers, enabling compatibility with existing filtration systems. This has allowed MANN-FILTER to offer a portfolio of filters that can be directly used in the aftermarket without requiring custom adaptations. Broad filter coverage for key machine segments The expanded portfolio currently includes approximately 200 filter references designed for major Chinese construction equipment manufacturers. These cover essential filtration functions such as air intake, lubrication, fuel processing, cabin air quality, hydraulic systems, and cooling circuits. The availability of multiple filter types ensures that workshops can perform complete maintenance operations using a single supplier. This is particularly relevant for excavators and wheel loaders, which represent the most widely supported segments due to their increasing deployment across European construction projects. Leveraging global engine platforms A key factor behind this compatibility is the use of internationally established engine platforms in many Chinese machines. By aligning with these widely used systems, MANN-FILTER can supply filtration components that meet original equipment specifications. For workshops, this reduces the complexity of identifying suitable parts. Filters are matched using original equipment (OE) numbers and cross-reference systems, enabling accurate selection and minimizing the risk of incorrect installation. Supporting efficient aftermarket servicing The expanded range is designed to address the need for immediate availability in the aftermarket. As newer machine models enter the European market, service providers require access to compatible parts without delays. By offering ready-to-use filtration solutions, the portfolio helps reduce downtime during maintenance and supports consistent servicing standards. This is particularly important for contractors operating mixed fleets that include both established and newer equipment brands. Ongoing portfolio development Additional filter references are in development to ensure coverage of future machine models. This reflects the ongoing growth of Chinese construction equipment in Europe and the need for scalable aftermarket support. While similar filtration products are available from other aftermarket suppliers, differentiation in this segment typically depends on the breadth of coverage, compatibility with OEM specifications, and availability across multiple equipment types. The expansion of the OHI range positions MANN-FILTER to address these requirements as the market continues to evolve.
