Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd., also the biggest tower

crane producer around the world, put the second phase of its central

China-located smart tower crane plant into operation on May 17.

producing the largest wind tower cranes in the world. With fixed-asset

investment of 1.8 billion yuan, it is expected to generate output value of 20

billion yuan annually.

characterized by one smart plant, two "lighthouse" workshops or the world's

most advanced workshops in other words, three smart stereoscopic warehouses and

four unmanned production lines, marking a step further on its road to

comprehensively intelligent manufacturing.

Currently, the company is capable of producing tower cranes of full series with

their sizes ranging from 63 ton·meter to 20,000 ton·meter. For every 18

minutes, a tower crane comes off its assemble line, marking a speed that ranks

high among those of its domestic and global peers.

Year to date, Zoomlion has manufactured over 150,000 tower cranes to enable

construction projects worldwide and boasts for a long time the highest market

share in the world.

with a maximum rated lifting load of 180 tonnes, fixed maximum lifting height

of 180 meters and max operating range of 68 meters and capable of hoisting
