In recent years, the rapid development of engineering crane parts industry, automobile crane manufacturer by 2011, 11 to 15 development, production and nearly 20 crawler cranes. Lifting the market is in a period of rapid development, huge market have greater potential for development. With the modernization process faster, on the crane are increasingly high, large-scale lifting machinery, automation, specialization has become an irreversible trend of the facts.

Large-scale

Since the new century, large-scale projects to accelerate the trend, the domestic super crawler cranes slowly began to appear in front of everybody. 1,000-ton, 2000-ton crawler cranes launched, opened a prelude to our super crawler cranes of rapid development.

Currently on the market the largest crane sales is 5 ~ 8t products, accounting for more than 50% of total sales. Because many manufacturers, intensified price competition, product margins increasingly narrow profit margins and large tonnage products far exceeded the small-tonnage products. From the development direction of the domestic car chassis, the market grew rapidly large-tonnage trucks, FAW, heavy truck manufacturers are speeding up the development of large-tonnage truck chassis, so large-tonnage bridge crane products will vary large tonnage market expansion chassis gradually increase, in 2011 more than 10t product less than 30% of total sales this year, more than half 10t product 33% of total sales, in the next few years, large tonnage, serialized bridge cranes will have a larger space for development, the demand for gradually increasing.

With the start of large-scale projects, materials and transport for the crane hoisting machinery to provide a broader space for development, the market demand is growing, industry prospects.

Automation

The rapid development of lifting machinery industry has greatly promoted the application of automation products in the industry. Although the overall level of automation of lifting machinery industry is not high, but whether it is lifting machinery or lifting machinery manufacturers users have come to realize the advantages of the application where automation products.

Director of the China Academy of Building Research Construction Mechanization Research Branch Technical Center Luo Wenlong said lifting machinery industry automation products in the application potential is huge and the prospects are very broad. Under both the trend toward a more mature and modern urban development patterns, or the economic crisis, the state stimulating investment in infrastructure, both Chang said the crane flourish. From Control to drive and automation products in the application of the depth of the industry has become cumulative. From the existing scale, future growth and the current growth rate, lifting machinery industry has gradually become automated enterprise market should not be overlooked.

Specialization

With the national electric power, petrochemical, steel, transportation and other infrastructure construction reached a climax, the rapid expansion of the domestic crane market, the trend of large crane has become an irreversible fact. In order to reduce production costs, saving manpower and resources, the demand for large cranes has gradually expanded, the requirements for crane lifting capacity is growing. Hoisting speed is getting higher and higher, it is bound to require control of energy consumption and increasing the performance of the crane. As automated production processes in the important part, simple operation, safe, reliable, easy to maintain a basic requirement for cranes, in addition, the high cost of hoisting machinery will be more marketable in the future.

To this end, a variety of work to meet the needs of specialized cranes continue to be developed and put into use, there is nuclear power, paper, waste disposal and other special cranes. The crane also has special properties to meet a variety of work environments, such as corrosion, explosion, insulation cranes. Conventional rail, ship cranes special performance is also growing, adaptability to the environment is also rising.
