Sany Heavy Industry Develops and Sells to America World's Biggest Reach Stacker

Recently, Sany Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. announced the rollout of the world’s largest combined reach stacker - RSC45C2-P, which has been sold to America. This new machine, tailor-made for the American market, has no doubt instilled new confidence into Sany in the context of the global economic downturn.

Sany is the only company in China capable of producing this type of machine
At the end of 2008, the Harbor Machinery Division of Sany Heavy Industry received an order from Alaska, America for a reachstacker with a combined telescopic spreader, a product much needed in the European and American market. As no companies in China at the time had the technological know-how or the capability to produce a machine like this, Sany accepted the order and took the challenge. Sany R&D center of harbor machinery developed the machine in less than half a year. Now this solely Chinese-designed product has been delivered to the American customer.
Being the world’s largest, the Sany RSC45C2-P reach stacker, with a total weight of 80 tons, is able to hoist a maximum of 55 ton of goods by design. The machine features high-level electric & hydraulic system, security system, comfortable cab and has applied many proprietary technologies, for example, the anti-collision boom technology, mechanic-electric OPS, and so on.

Tailor-made for the American market
Before this, Sany reachstackers sold to America had all been standard 45-ton types. However, due to the fact that some US ports need to load/unload the container and the lorry at the same time, 55-ton heavier duty reachstackers are also needed. Mr. Zhenhua Liu, general manager for sales of Sany Harbor Machinery Division expressed confidence in this special machine in the American market. With the development of the logistics industry in China, in future, the RSC45C2-P reachstacker will be of use in Chinese ports as well.

During 3 years since Sany Harbor Machinery Division has established, the sales volume leaped from 50 million to 400 million in 2008 and is expected to reach 700 million this year. According to the sales data of first half year in 2009, the sales volume has been increased by 30% comparing to 2008. Now the domestic market share of Sany reachstacker and empty container handler has been exceed 50% which ranked No.1 in China.
