Large-tonnage Cranes Excel Against Market Trend: XCMG Leads for 10th Year

September 19, 2012

    On a China Erzhong Group (Zhenjiang)’s port construction site, two XCMG 500-tonne all-terrain cranes dominate the scene side by side on 29^th July. Confronted with scorching temperature in the high 30s°C, a mere 28-meter-wide working site and 3 objects of some 660 tonnes, the twin cranes overcame the 3 big hurdles in the hoisting operation with ease together, putting up a perfect “brotherly show” to win the constructors’ acclaim. The event once again showcases XCMG’s leading edge technology in large-tonnage-crane building, consolidating its dominance in the sector.

    Since the beginning of this year, in the midst of the slipping domestic and international macro economic situation and dwindling demand for construction machinery, sales of XCMG cranes have remained uniquely stable, in which, XCMG’s large-tonnage-cranes have gained market share steadily against the depressed market trend and a backdrop of the industry’s sloppy sales as a whole, taking lead for the 10th year running in the sector.

    Industrial statistics show, XCMG cranes’ market share climbed to 55% in January-July period, firmly securing the top place in the industry. In the meanwhile of keeping absolute dominance on the small-medium-tonnage-crane market, XCMG’s large-tonnage cranes have performed extraordinarily well, taking up 66.7% of market share, a rise by 8.7 percentage points year on year. It is a precious triumph for XCMG that the large-tonnage cranes should have been able to maintain such a strong momentum against the background of widespread market decline and high base-number of large-tonnage crane ownership .

Quality Builds An Industry Leader

    As the sector leader, XCMG achieves favorable opportunities and market dominance on a depressed market with excellent product quality. At the 4th Xiamen International Engineering Machinery Exposition, XCMG made itself the biggest winner with a deal of one-time delivery of a full range of thousand-tonnage products. On 20th June, XCMG’s large-tonnage crane making arm signed another deal of exporting 100 units to South America, setting China’s record of batch exporting hundred-tonnage cranes. In the V58 project, XCMG once again closed a deal of selling some 100 large-tonnage cranes of 110 and160-tonnage class.

    Based on its solid capability, XCMG has brought forth an epoch with a totally new product lineup in the crane manufacturing sector. The new generation of all-terrain cranes of 110, 130, 180, 220, 260, 300 and 400 tonnages launched by XCMG have become the customers’ latest favorites with brisk sales because of the reliable performance and outstanding quality. Similar achievements have been made by the super-large-tonnage versions of 500, 650, 800, 1000 and 1200 tonnes, being in use in various major projects and fully demonstrating the highly reliable performance of XCMG’s large-tonnage high-end cranes.

China’s Backbone Buoyed up by Innovations

    From 2002, XCMG entered into large-tonnage high-end crane development . In the past decade, through continuous technological amassment and repeated innovative breakthroughs, XCMG has fully grasped large and super-large crane development and manufacturing core technology, which is convincingly supported by the creative advancements XCMG has made in the super-large-tonnage crane making technology. The facts also prove that XCMG has won reassuring triumphs on a depressed market with cutting-edge technology, reliable product performance and excellent quality, as having evidenced by proud achievements one after another, winning out to stand on top of a volatile market. The XCMG Crane, in the meantime, is striving ceaselessly for a higher goal, as at the forthcoming Bauma China 2012 in Shanghai, XCMG is bringing to the world newer and more advanced products as a proud industrial development leader, showcasing the style of a manufacturing powerhouse.
