Exclusive report from First Construction Machinery Network: In October 2024, the focus of the global construction machinery industry will converge on two top Chinese companies - Zoomlion and XCMG Group.

In just two days, the two giants have successively produced and delivered record breaking super large tower cranes. Zoomlion's 22000 ton meter level tower crane and XCMG's 23000 ton meter level tower crane have appeared one after another. This is not only a competition of numbers, but also a powerful witness to China's manufacturing industry and even the country's comprehensive strength.

Behind this' Great Tower 'dispute lies the magnificent pace and glorious achievements of China's rise.

Tower crane, also known as tower crane, is a rotating crane with a boom mounted on the upper part of a tall tower. Ordinary tower cranes are mainly used for vertical and horizontal transportation of materials and installation of building components in building construction.

In recent years, China has built a series of super projects and won the title of "infrastructure maniac" with the speed and efficiency of infrastructure construction. Behind these super projects, large tower cranes have become absolute heroes!

In order to meet the new demand for large-scale development of engineering construction modules, China's large tower cranes have developed rapidly. Among them, the competition between XCMG and Zoomlion is particularly fierce. It is worth noting that the rapid development of tower crane technology in China is not an isolated phenomenon. It is closely related to the improvement of China's overall scientific and technological strength, the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and the promotion of the "the Belt and Road" initiative. In the wave of globalization, China has not only become the "world factory", but also achieved a historic leap from "following" to "running in parallel" and even "leading" in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing.

Looking ahead to the future, with the deepening implementation of the "new infrastructure" strategy and the continuous expansion of the global construction market, Chinese tower crane manufacturing enterprises will usher in broader development space and more intense market competition. In this global competition, Chinese enterprises will continue to carry forward the spirit of innovation, continuously improve their technological level and service quality, and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to the sustainable development of the world's construction industry.

Behind the 'Great Tower' dispute lies a magnificent picture of China's rise. On this vibrant land, countless Chinese enterprises and workers are bravely climbing towards the top of the world with even more determined steps. We have reason to believe that in the future, Chinese tower cranes will continue to write new legends in the global construction market, making greater contributions to the prosperity and development of China and even the world.
