XCMG's 48-year-old "antique crane" show up

Publication Date: 2019-06-12
According to industry data, the service life of cranes varies according to product quality and hoisting business strategy. Generally, it is about ten years, and the use of products for more than fifteen years requires not only “longevity” but also “long-lasting”.

This year is the 30th anniversary of the founding of XCMG Group. Many old companies with the same age as the company and the users are once again entering the public eye.

In 1987, 1984, 1980, and even longer, the factory time touched the nerves of XCMG workers again and again, especially the simple and simple customer testimony of the sentence, showing not only the emotion of "I am retired, it is still on the post" The ties are also the brand recognition of “painting over the paint, changing the parts, but the core is still XCMG”, and it is the value recognition of “XCMG QY25A is about to retire, and the stick is still XCMG”.

The new products that are stacked out are the high line of enterprise development; the existing old products are the bottom line representing the strength of the enterprise. Everyone wants to show high lines, but there is no bright bottom line. Before the centralized display of CMG old equipment that has been in use for more than 30 years, many people in the industry must have a "crowd" mentality: 30 years? Public display? Where is XCMG’s strength?

Different from the doubts, surprises or praises of the outside world, in the eyes of Xu workers themselves, behind the 30 years of “not destroying”, it is not only the double relay of time, but also the ingenious inheritance of 76 years. With the motto of “Technology Leading, Not Destroying”, XCMG insists on innovation and forge ahead, and has developed a development path with Chinese characteristics, Chinese character and Chinese style.

Zhejiang Jinhua, 48 years old five tons, from the appearance, the car's tire wear is more serious, the cab is also rusty, but the engine is well maintained, but also run, the telescopic arm can also move, because the age is too long, Not currently used, put it as a treasure.

Guiyang, Guizhou, QY25A, which was manufactured in 1985, has gone through so many pitted roads. The chassis is not sloping and is very compact. It is mainly used for large-scale fittings, parts, and railway wagon lifting. The basic arm hoisting can still be steadily lifted. Ton weight

After 1981, the XCMG truck crane chassis formed mass production, which solved the passive situation of medium and large tonnage cranes relying on imported chassis. Since 1980, XCMG has changed its small and complete production mode and started specialized production. It has become a professional factory for the production of 5-50 tons of hydraulic truck cranes and its special chassis and other engineering machinery.

Shenyang, Liaoning, 32 years of QY25A. At that time, there were still relatively few large-tonnage cranes around, so it also carried a lot of very important lifting. I took the green leather train back to the factory for maintenance once. I still maintain it according to the style of the troops. I have not overhauled it. This car is quite ok!

To improve the "acceleration" of reform, XCMG once again inward. On July 28, 1989, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd. was formally established by Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Factory, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Factory, Xuzhou Loader Factory and Xuzhou Construction Machinery Research Institute as the core of “Three Factory One”. In order to reverse the long-term difficulties in technological upgrading and single product structure, XCMG has established a development strategy of “high-end, high-tech, high value-added”, focusing on the large-tonnage crane market.


On the eve of the new century, China's construction machinery manufacturing industry has completed the “self-made” leap, but it is subject to the shortage of domestic industrial supply chain. “What do we have to choose for supporting enterprises?” . And XCMG leads the industry's equations, which is to break through the restricted zone once and for all, breaking the shackles and breaking through the old and constantly solving problems. The K series, which was born in the past, has become the first equipment for the development of China's construction machinery industry. The equipment that enables the supporting enterprises to make major product improvements has led the technological revolution and supply chain model revolution of Chinese wheeled crane products.


In 2013, XCMG proposed to make original technology – the development idea of building a product technology platform. After repeated considerations and trials, in 2016, X CMG launched a technology original platform with 15 completely independent intellectual property rights - G technology platform.

Based on the G platform, XCMG cranes adhere to value marketing, and successively launched the 60-1200-ton G-generation XCA series all-terrain cranes, G-generation overseas models, and the world's first XCA1600 all-terrain cranes covering 140MW and below 3MW wind turbines. G-generation upgraded models and other products, while allowing Xugong cranes to truly win the international high-end market strength, once again led the overall upgrade of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry, realizing the independent innovation in the technical field in the real sense, international brands also Really feel the strength and pressure of Chinese cranes' positive competition.


The process of domestic crane brand from weak to strong and difficult rise is the unremitting struggle of national industry. Every step taken by XCMG on this high-quality development road is not only inheritance, but also the beginning.
