High-Tonnage Crawler Crane Enters EU: Domestic Equipment Breaks into Europe's High-End Engineering Market

Recently, Zoomlion’s ZCC13000-1E5—a 900-ton class large crawler crane—departed from Changsha for Europe. This shipment sets a record for the highest-tonnage crawler crane exported from China to Poland, marking a significant breakthrough for domestic high-tonnage crawler cranes in the high-end European energy sector.

The ZCC13000-1E5 is a flagship lifting machine designed for high-end overseas markets. It boasts a maximum lifting moment of 13,000 ton-meters and a maximum lifting capacity of 900 tons, offering distinct performance advantages over competing products in the same class. The product is fully compliant with the EU's stringent transport regulations and the specific site conditions of European energy projects. Its modular design allows for a transport width of under 3.5 meters after disassembly, facilitating cross-border logistics. Powered by a high-output engine and dual-pump flow convergence technology, the crane achieves a 10% increase in heavy-load lifting speed. Additionally, the hoist winch features servo-control technology, boosting lifting speeds by 40% during medium- and light-load operations. The equipment supports one-touch raising and lowering of the super-lift mast—reducing setup time by 60%—and incorporates wireless remote control systems alongside multiple intelligent safety features to balance operational efficiency with safety.

The European construction machinery market is fiercely competitive, with the ultra-large tonnage lifting equipment sector long dominated by leading international brands. Zoomlion secured the customer's trust by meticulously tailoring construction plans to meet the specific needs of petrochemical and wind power projects in Poland, leveraging the crane's superior lifting performance, intelligent safety features, and comprehensive lifecycle service capabilities. The unit will be deployed at the Gdańsk Refinery project in Poland and will also serve other major energy infrastructure projects, including heavy-load port lifting and onshore wind power installations, thereby supporting local refinery upgrades and the development of the new energy sector. This model has already been deployed in batches in South Korea, with its reliability proven through real-world performance in overseas projects. This delivery marks a significant milestone in the expansion of domestic lifting equipment into Europe's high-end market. Moving forward, the company plans to further refine its local spare parts and technical service networks in Europe, deepening its involvement in major local engineering projects.
