ZPMC Crane Upgrades and Services has completed a crane heightening at DP World’s T2 terminal in Dubai, raising an STS crane, weighing 1950 tonnes, by 10 meters. This brings the total number of completed projects to 100 and now firmly puts ZPMC as the market leader on the global stage.

Chen Jiaqing, ZPMC Assistant President and Managing Director of ZPMC International Group commented; “We are delighted to have achieved 100 crane heightening projects since we started raising cranes in 2012.  It’s a significant stage in the company’s development and I am particularly pleased as it’s a significant project for DP World.  

“Crane heightening is now an established, commercially viable solution for port operators looking to quickly increase their container handling volume capabilities. We now have a huge reference list for successful crane upgrade projects around the world.

“The technical skills and specialist equipment required to raise a crane weighing 1950 tonnes by 10 meters are critical and one of the reasons that we have developed seven of our own jacking systems. All the engineering calculations, feasibility studies, site management and material supplies all handled directly by the ZPMC Crane Services team. We understand that downtime is a critical issue for our customers, so our complete turnkey operation contributes significantly to the project being completed in the shortest time frame possible. 

 “Our customers benefit from ZPMC not only being the original crane manufacturer but also through the strength of our specialist upgrades teams, strategically located in Asia, Europe, the USA and Middle East. Their engineering capabilities are really outstanding and the back-up of our on the ground operations contributes to clients benefiting from a fully integrated solution”, Mr Chen Jiaqing added.
