Zoomlion New Rough Terrain Crane

The new range of Rough Terrain cranes has to be by far the most exciting new range that has come out of Zoomlion recently.  This market segment has in the past being dominated by the Japanese and American brands and now the Chinese have entered this market.
The Japanese brands being Tadano Kato and Kobelco with only Tadano being exported new from Japan.  The American RT’s being Grove and Terrex in real terms have being the newer entrants into Southern Africa market and have being extremely successful due to shorter delivery lead time and competitive prices.

The rough Terrain market in Southern Africa has always seen a very large percentage of new cranes imported into South Africa and therefore as a new entrant that can supply a high quality product at the lowest price in the market, I believe will have a similar success as the Truck cranes did as they took up as much as 25% of the entire crane industry sales.

The Zoomlion American agent has just placed an order for 40 units and the first shipment of RT cranes is already on the way to America. The range at present is 55 ton with 35 ton, 75 ton and at a later stage 25 ton and 100 ton will be launched for international sales shortly.

ANE to date has being highly successful in the sale of Rough Terrain Cranes but these have being used Kobelco units from Japan, as Kobelco Japan do not export new cranes. ANE will therefore now import and sell new Zoomlion RT cranes.
