Construction site
A Zoomlion luffing tower crane was recently used in the construction of a landmark project in the center of the Indian city of Mumbai. The crane's superior functionality has already earned it praise from the customer.
India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, and the rapid growth of the country's infrastructure hascreatedincreaseddemand for construction machinery. In August 2012 Zoomlion signed an agreement with India's ElectroMech to build a joint-venture factory to produce tower cranes. The joint venture company officially commenced operations in June 2013 and has enjoyed rapid sales growth as its tower crane products have infiltrated the Indian market.
In May 2014, having already produced more than 500 topless tower cranes for the Indian market, the joint venture company signed India's first order for a Zoomlion luffing tower crane, thereby filling the void that had previously existed in the luffing tower crane area of the Indian market. This export product, designed by Zoomlion, is a domestic leader in terms of its technical performance and an international leader in terms of a host of other criteria. The jib has a light structure, compact design, and superior lifting performance; the mast is aesthetically pleasing and has good mechanical properties, strong welding, and good reliability; the structure has little wind resistance and strong rigidity, which helps to reduce overall load and improve stability; gas-shielded arc welding has increased the quality of welding and improved the appearance of weld seams; the electric controls use programmable logic controllers, which improve reliability and safety, reduce the quantity of logic controller components, decrease the failure rate of the control system, and improve reliability.
In terms of safety features – a matter of particular concern to the Indian government and construction industry – in addition to tower crane safety devices that meet safety regulations and standards, Zoomlion tower cranes also come with a host of advanced safety devices unique to Zoomlion products that ensure safety and ease of use during the tower crane construction phase, which have been welcomed by those in the construction industry.
In October, the Zoomlion luffing tower crane was officially put to work on a landmark project in the new center of Mumbai. The project is being funded by one of India's largest real estate developers and is receiving attention from India's government leaders. Since arriving at the construction site, the Zoomlion luffing tower crane has been praised by the customer for its excellent performance and outstanding capabilities.
