“We came here to deal with the engine problem of the paver of our costomer. We meant to be come to the workshop, but there happened to be a power outage, so I was fortunate enough to see the old 5 ton truck crane. ”
From the pictures we know this is a military crane. The paint on the front of the car is rusted off, but the small parts such as the cab, the operating room and even the tires and hooks are still strong after years of wind and rain baptism.
According to the "factory card" on the side of the vehicle, we can roughly understand its identity: 5 tons truck cranes, manufactured by XCMG Heavy Machinery Factory in September 1982, a full 37 years ago.
When we talked about the truck crane, the head of equipment management of the Zhuanghe City Expo Road Engineering Company was very proud of this "antique crane": "We have been using it for so many years, we only replaced the gasoline engine with a diesel engine, and the others are not bad. I never thought that I could use it for so long."
Of course, regular maintenance is one of the main factors for this car is so durable until now : "Add the butter, change the filter..., there are dozens of operators who had driven this truck crane, this is the rule that everyone must abide by.” The head of the company’s equipment management director said: “Even if we can’t use it later, we will save it well. It is a witness to our company and even the country! ”
