"It took a generation to achieve what other countries have achieved for centuries." This comment from an expert from the World Bank is a sincere affirmation of the brilliant achievements of modern China's economy. The best commentary on the history of crane development.

Zoomlion, as the earliest manufacturer in China with the comprehensive development and manufacturing capabilities of truck crane loading and chassis, developed the first special-purpose chassis construction crane in New China in 1973, and thus planted the seeds of the future truck crane business. Today, Zoomlion's hoisting product matrix covers from small and medium-sized equipment below 100 tonnage to super-large tonnage cranes up to 3,000 tonnage, breaking the situation that foreign brands dominate the Chinese truck crane market and showing the world that Chinese manufacturing Strong strength in the field of truck cranes. Zoomlion has become one of the leading wheeled hoisting machinery manufacturers in China.

From the initial introduction and imitation, it has developed into independent research and development, and now it has opened the overseas market journey. Zoomlion's truck crane has become a leader in the executive industry. With its independent and professional high-tech R&D capabilities and product innovation that closely follows the development of the times, it continues to maintain a leading position in the market.

Lagging behind Japan and South Korea, let alone Europe and the United States - this is the situation of China's construction machinery industry at that time; especially in the field of large-tonnage truck cranes, due to high technical content and difficult production processes, even before 2003, domestic manufacturers were unable to make them. The market of a 100-ton truck crane will naturally be dominated by foreign brands for a long time. And this history was finally ended by Zoomlion Cranes.

At that time, Zoomlion, as the first domestic enterprise to introduce and assimilate European crane technology, devoted itself to practicing "internal skills" with foreign enterprises as teachers, and decades of scientific research and innovation came to fruition. In 2003, China's first 100-ton truck crane QY100 was successfully developed and participated in the construction of major projects such as the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. A hundred feet of progress has been made. It is from this first 100-ton truck crane in China that Zoomlion Truck Crane started the "Zoomlian Speed" in the research and development of large-tonnage equipment.

In 2004, Zoomlion achieved another technological breakthrough. At that time, the largest truck crane in China, QY300, was successfully developed and was known as the first crane in China, which laid a solid foundation for the development of super-large tonnage lifting equipment. From 2011 to 2022, Zoomlion launched QAY2000, ZAT18000H753 and ZAT22000H all-terrain wheeled cranes one after another in order to support the development of wind power industry in full swing in China. Production crane tonnage records. In terms of market performance, Zoomlion's truck crane products will continue to lead the market in 2021. The sales volume of truck cranes of 30 tons and above ranks first in the industry, and the year-on-year growth of large-tonnage truck cranes is more than 30%. It has become a well-deserved "industry" Blast".

Today is different from the past. Today, Zoomlion has the only national and local joint engineering research center for mobile crane technology in the industry, holds hundreds of technical patents, and shoulders nearly 100 national “863”, “973” and “Technology Support Plan”. It is a major national equipment development and scientific and technological research project, and the research and development expenses have reached 3.865 billion yuan in 2021. Zoomlion has already transformed from "manufacturing technology is controlled by others" in the past to "mastering core technologies in production and R&D circles", becoming a model brand of global hoisting construction equipment solutions, and at the same time pushing for an upward trend in sales volume.

9 "Industry Firsts" of Zoomlion

The implementation of the "Product 4.0" strategy has given Zoomlion Crane Equipment a new development impetus. Since 2016, the 4.0 upgraded products ZTC250V, ZTC550V, and ZTC800V have been launched one after another, which have been comprehensively improved from the four dimensions of performance, quality, cost and service. Each technical index has reached the international advanced and domestic leading level, which is well received by the market. In the subsequent ZTC1000 and ZTC1300 two large-tonnage truck lifting equipment, high-level intelligent technologies such as intelligent planning, cloud control, and intelligent hoisting were introduced into the original 4.0 product results. Smart technology has won a double harvest of sales and word of mouth, and the market share has repeatedly hit new highs. Among them, the ZTC1300 has attracted wide attention from the industry after its debut at the 2018 Shanghai Bauma Exhibition, and it shines brightly.

In 2020, the world's first pure electric crane, Zoomlion ZTC250N-EV truck crane, was officially unveiled at the Shanghai Bauma Exhibition, and Zoomlion was once again at the forefront of the industry. Based on the electric drive and electric control platform, the ZTC250N-EV truck crane is equipped with more advanced intelligent technologies such as machine vision, artificial intelligence and 5G communication technology, which fully demonstrates the cutting-edge concepts of ZOOMLION's cranes' intelligence, environmental protection and leanness. The strength helped Zoomlion to win a large order of over 20 billion.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it's more and more from the beginning. Facing the new challenges of the market and working conditions in the new era, Zoomlion has always adhered to the strategy of technological innovation, continuously improved the performance and quality of equipment in line with international standards, and made steady progress towards the ultimate goal of creating high-end hoisting construction equipment that meets market demand, allowing the world Attention to it.

Based on the domestic, radiate the world. Zoomlion has always been on the road of international development, closely following the national Belt and Road initiative, and building a Belt and Road localized manufacturing cluster, and has formed industrial manufacturing bases all over the world.
