The future development of lifting machinery is unstoppable

In recent years, the construction crane accessories industry has developed rapidly, and the lifting appliances are in a period of rapid development in the market, with huge market potential for development. With the rapid development of modernization, the requirements for hoisting machinery are getting higher and higher. The trend of large-scale, automation and specialization of hoisting machinery has become an irreversible fact.

Larger

Since the new century, the trend of large-scale projects has accelerated, and domestic super crawler cranes have begun to appear before everyone. The launch of 1000-ton and 2000-ton crawler cranes has opened the prelude to the rapid development of China's super crawler cranes.

Currently, the largest sales volume on the crane market is 5~8t, accounting for more than 50% of total sales. Due to the large number of manufacturers, price competition has become increasingly fiercer, and the profit margin of products has become narrower, while the profitability of large-tonnage products far exceeds that of medium and small tonnage products. From the perspective of the development direction of domestic automotive chassis, the market for large-tonnage trucks has grown rapidly. FAW, FAW, CNHTC and other manufacturers are accelerating the development of chassis for large-tonnage trucks, so large-tonnage overhead cranes will follow suit. The market for large-tonnage chassis expanded and gradually increased. In 2011, products with more than 10 tons accounted for less than 30% of total sales. In the first half of this year, more than 10 tons of products accounted for 33% of total sales. In the next few years, large-tonnage, serialized bridge crane products There will be more room for development and demand will increase gradually.

With the commencement of large-scale projects, the lifting and transport of materials provide a broader space for the development of cranes. The market demand continues to grow and the industry outlook is promising.

automation

The rapid development of the lifting machinery industry has also greatly promoted the application of automation products in the industry. Although the overall level of automation applications in China's lifting machinery industry is still not high, both hoisting machinery manufacturers and lifting machinery users have gradually realized the advantages of application automation products.

Luo Wenlong, director of the Technical Center of the Construction Mechanization Research Branch of the Chinese Academy of Building Research, said that the application potential of automation products in the lifting machinery industry is very large and the prospects are very broad. Whether it is the trend of a more mature and modern city, or the economic crisis, the country’s stimulating investment in infrastructure construction shows the booming development of lifting machinery. From control to transmission, the depth of application of automation products in this industry is also accumulating. From the perspective of the existing scale, the future growth space and the current growth rate, the lifting machinery industry has gradually become an important market for automation companies.

specialization

With the construction of national power, petrochemical, steel and transportation infrastructures culminating, the domestic crane market is rapidly expanding, and the trend of large-scale cranes has become an irreversible fact. In order to reduce production costs and save manpower and material resources, the demand for large-scale cranes is also gradually expanding, and the lifting weight requirements for cranes are increasing. With higher and higher requirements for lifting speed, it is bound to have higher and higher requirements for energy consumption control and crane performance. As an important part of the automated production process, the operation is simple, the safety is high, the performance is reliable, and the easy maintenance is the basic requirement for the crane. In addition, the cost-effective hoisting machinery will be more marketable in the future.

For this purpose, specialized cranes that meet various work needs are constantly being put into R&D and put into use. There are special cranes for nuclear power, paper making, and waste disposal. The cranes with special properties can also satisfy various working environments such as anti-corrosion, explosion-proof and insulated cranes. The performance of traditional railway and ship cranes has also been continuously enhanced, and the adaptability to the environment has also been continuously improved.
