Characteristics and Functions of XCMG Truck Cranes
For more than 18 years, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group (XCMG) in China has established itself as a prominent manufacturer and exporter of specialized equipment to numerous countries globally, including those of the former Soviet Union. Among the most sought-after products from this engineering powerhouse are the XCMG truck cranes, which come in a diverse array of models. While the equipment produced by this Asian manufacturer boasts high European quality—validated through the incorporation of Liebherr technologies and other renowned brands such as CATO—the pricing strategy of the company effectively caters to the demands of local consumers.
XCMG’s strong sales of truck cranes highlight their reputation as superior to other Chinese alternatives. The company produces both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models. Rear-wheel drive models, designated as road cranes, handle construction and installation tasks in areas with well-developed access roads. Their model codes start with “QY,” followed by numbers indicating maximum lifting capacity.
All-wheel drive models excel in off-road performance, tackling challenging terrains with ease. These cranes handle lifting capacities ranging from 25 tons to 1,200 tons for specialized models. Their designations begin with “QAY,” followed by the maximum lifting capacity.
