On April 10 local time, the fourth day of bauma 2025 in Germany, the site remained bustling. Entering the crowded Zoomlion exhibition area, on one side of the hall, a long arm of steel in aurora green came into view. This R800-40 tower crane is the only Chinese-brand tower crane at this year's bauma Germany, and also the largest-tonnage tower crane Zoomlion has displayed in the European market. The "King of Tower Cranes" once again showcased the outstanding prowess of China's intelligent manufacturing to the world.

"As a high-end, intelligent large flat-top tower crane, the R800-40 offers safe operation and efficient construction, and can be widely used in bridges, venues, power construction and other fields. We have fully leveraged our local manufacturing advantages, with synchronous production in China and Germany and assembly in Europe, achieving rapid supply of large-tonnage tower crane products and providing service support across the full product lifecycle. Industry customers have given full recognition after learning about this," introduced a relevant overseas head of Zoomlion's tower crane business.

In the European market, the structure of tower cranes must meet the requirements of the EN 14439 standard, and the safety, stability and environmental adaptability of equipment are also highly valued. Zoomlion tower cranes can fully meet the needs of local customers. The R800-40 tower crane comes standard with safety functions such as anti-anchor-drop, anti-hook-slip, anti-overhoist, anti-overload and anti-collision; the hoisting mechanism has dual braking, and the lifting moment is triple cross-checked, making it safer. It also features information security protection capabilities such as password and facial recognition operation authorization, real-time display of working condition data, historical fault query and black box data storage. Its dynamic deceleration function of mechanisms, compact structure and multi-jib-length combination design are highly praised.

In addition, Zoomlion also demonstrated a handheld remote control system for tower cranes at the site. Visitors could remotely operate a tower crane located far away in Changde, Hunan, via a handheld remote controller. Zoomlion took the lead in launching tower crane remote control technology in 2019 and has continued to optimize and iterate after productization. It is currently used safely and stably at dozens of construction sites. The tower crane remote control system turns "sky operation into ground operation," allowing personnel to operate the tower crane without climbing it, creating a safe and comfortable working environment. Many visitors exclaimed in admiration after experiencing it.

At present, relying on the world's largest intelligent tower crane factory, Zoomlion has launched a rich and diverse product spectrum for the global market and built a customized tower crane platform covering all working-condition scenarios. High-end, intelligent and green Zoomlion tower cranes are further expanding into overseas markets and becoming the first choice for the construction of more major engineering projects.
