    Chinese tower crane began in the 1950s. Throughout 50 years of development history, the Chinese tower crane industry, from small to large, and gradually formed a relatively complete system, and has become one of rapid development of machinery industry. Tower crane industry in the design, manufacturing, management and market development has been the formation of a more robust mechanism.

    50-year History

    The early 1950s, China's tower crane started by the imitation, imitation East German architects in 1954, the tower crane type Ⅰ, 60 years to design and manufacture of 25tm (mean maximum lifting tonnes), 40tm, 60tm several models, more to the main boom; 70 years, with the increase in high-rise buildings, the construction machinery made new demands, so, 160tm attachment style, 45tm in climbing, 120tm jack-up tower machine one after another; the 20th century 1980s, the rapid construction, building the largest tower crane QTZ250 250tm came into being. Especially in 1984, through the introduction of French POTAIN (Potain) greatly reduces the company's technology gap with foreign countries, so that the development of China's tower crane into the fast track. Past 20 years, China's tower crane industry presents the following characteristics.

    Strong sales continued strong market demand

    Since the 1980s, China's tower crane industry has been rapidly growing, especially in recent years, the tower crane sales continued to climb in 2001, industry sales in 9738 sets of statistics, in 2002 became the world's first tower crane annual production exceeded 1 million units the country. In 2004, due to macro-regulation and restructuring of industry, crane, tower crane production and sales has dropped slightly in 2005, 2006, strong economic growth driven by China's tower crane sales resumed growth in 2006 sales has more than 2 million units. 2007 total sales of China's tower crane 31 020 units, compared with an increase of 59.72% in 2006, 2007, tower crane sales reached 11.6 billion yuan. Needless to say, China has become the world's largest producer of civil tower crane country, the world market demand for one of the main tower. According to preliminary statistics, China obtained the production license of the tower crane manufacturing plant of more than 400, while the 1980s was less than 100.

    The rapid introduction of technology to enhance the industry standard in 1984, the state approved construction machinery plant in Sichuan, Shenyang Construction Machinery Factory, Beijing Construction Engineering Machinery Factory co-introduced from France Potain tower crane company's proprietary technology and production licenses, the introduction of three kinds FO/23B Model tower crane technology, and the following year successful trial of FO/23B tower crane, and this is a milestone in the history of the tower crane, greatly reducing the gap with foreign countries, so that the development of China's tower crane into the fast track. Through the digestion and absorption of foreign advanced technology, our 80 years of the last century developed by QT80, QTZ120 two models have been reached at the level of similar foreign products.

    Into the 1990s, especially the "95", China's tower crane industry through research, careful study of foreign technology, combined with a lot of good conditions to develop the product, there have been 400tm, 900tm horizontal arm and 300tm tower crane boom came The main performance reached the international advanced level, and dual-use tower crane lifting fabrics, flat tower machines to market. This series of new product development to fill the gap, replace and reduce the large tower crane imports. Development process but also to solve some of the constraints of the development of China's tower crane key issues, such as addressing the high-power variable speed lifting mechanism, PLC control issues and tower crane remote control technology, and so on.

    In 2006, the Sichuan Construction Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd. introduced the maximum lifting capacity of 60 tons of large tower crane M1500 (1500tm), a record at the time the domestic industry's largest tower crane tonnage record. Fushun Yongmao Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. launched the largest tonnage of flat domestic tower crane STT553 (550tm).

    The rise of private enterprises have restructured state-owned enterprises

    1980s, many provinces in China have produced provincial tower crane construction machinery plant. With the increasing demand for tower crane, private enterprises have entered, the original tower of some state-owned enterprises were retired, some companies such as River built, Shenyang Construction Machinery and so on through the restructuring and reorganization, the first Breakthrough in the market to create their own brand awareness growing, more and more stable market share. At the same time, a group of private, joint-stock company rapidly emerging as an important force in the tower crane industry, such as Fushun Yongmao, Shandong radius, Jiang Su Zhengxing, Zhejiang Golden Tiger Ba. Beijing Construction Engineering in silence for a few years later, in June 2006 by the Beijing Construction Engineering Group and Fushun Yongmao joint venture, set up a holding of Beijing Fushun Yongmao Yongmao Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd..
China is the first camp in the tower crane manufacturers River Bridge Co., Ltd., Shenyang Sanyo, Zoomlion and other enterprises, which led the Chinese tower crane industry development trend, but also a major manufacturer of tower crane exports. Although China's tower crane industry profits are constantly diluted, especially in the small tower crane market, but there are still a number of new companies being added.

    Shandong questioned the quality of the tower from the fleet

    The 1980s began to gradually emerge in Shandong Jiaodong Peninsula large tower crane manufacturer. Its characteristics are: the production company focused on rapid development, production, and once accounted for 80 percent of national output, manufacturers of 60 to 70 (of which yield the largest number since 1995 when the tower crane industry to enter the Chinese company, Shandong, eight consecutive was national sales, domestic sales plus exports in 2006 totaled 6,000 units). Products are mainly small and medium-tower, 70% are 63tm, 40tm the following tower, low prices, poor quality of some products, due to accidents, Shandong tower was once banned in many areas to use. Entering the new century, the gradual strengthening of the sense of quality manufacturers, product quality has improved. In addition to Shandong Province, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other places of China tower crane production is more concentrated areas.

    Rapid export growth, foreign investment is difficult to enter

    With the prosperity of the domestic market, exports also performed tower crane active than ever. China's tower crane exports began in 1988, rapid growth in the 21st century. 2001 to 2006, China's tower crane exports increased from 67 units to 1748 units each year, an increase of 26 times, exporting countries also increased from 11 to 63. In recent years a number of key enterprises such as River Bridge Co., Ltd., Shenyang Sanyo, Fushun Yongmao and other manufacturers of export volume has more than 50% of its annual output. In addition to routine export to Southeast Asia, West Asia and other regions, is also involved in Europe and other developed regions. The rapid growth in exports, making the foreign market in China's consumption tower occupies an increasingly important role. Can be expected to further expand the export market will become the future of China's tower crane companies to seek greater development of important ways.

    Compared with exports in recent years, China's tower crane imports are much less successful foreign companies into the country is very few, in addition to France in 1988, Zhangjiagang Potain's investment in factories, but also in several foreign domestic-owned or joint venture tower, but the price, conditions and other factors yield very little, some have been pulling, and some are still supported. In 2006 Spain COMANSA company and Hangzhou JIE Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. joint venture in Hangzhou Kemansajie brand construction machinery Co., Ltd., an initial investment $ 20.4 million, has been put into production, remains to be seen how effective.
