26 February 2008
Chinese manufacturer Shanghai Sany Technology Co. Ltd. and Guangdong Power Engineering Corporation (GPEC) have agreed to jointly develop high capacity crawler cranes.
GPEC is a power engineering contractor approved by China's Construction Ministry. It purchased two 400 tonne capacity Sany crawler cranes in 2006, the manufacturer said. In addition, Liu Chengye, GPEC general manager, signed a purchasing contract for Sany's 900 tonne capacity model SCC9000 crawler cranes to be used for the construction of nuclear power stations, according to Sany. The cooperation project and order will precipitate development of the 900 tonner, Sany reported.
Larger models are also on the agenda. It said in a Sany statement that there is a joint development agreement for crawler cranes above 1,600 tonnes capacity.
