From April 16 to 18, the 11th China Changyuan International Crane Equipment Expo was grandly held at the Changyuan International Convention and Exhibition Center. Dafang made a magnificent appearance, engaging with global industry elites to explore new pathways for the high-quality development of the crane equipment industry.

Crane Exhibition Grandly Opens

As an industry-recognized "national wind vane exhibition for the crane sector," this year's expo reached an unprecedented scale. The booth of Dafang Holding Group was crowded with visitors, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Leaders at various levels, domestic and international customers, and media journalists came in a continuous stream, witnessing Dafang's outstanding capabilities in the field of intelligent cranes and steel structures.

Visitors from home and abroad gathered at the Dafang booth for observation and exchange.

Journalists from Xinhua News Agency, Xinhuanet, China News Service, China News Network, Henan Daily, Science and Technology News Network, Dingxin News, Elephant News, Xinxiang Daily, and other media outlets competed to conduct interviews and provide coverage.

At this exhibition, Dafang showcased its full range of core products featuring digitalization, greening, and networking — perfectly aligning with the expo's theme: "Digital Intelligence Leads the Way, Quality Wins the World, Connectivity Links the Globe."

Intelligent Gantry Crane

Equipped with anti-sway and precise positioning functions, featuring smooth control and accurate positioning, enabling stable material grabbing, with efficient and convenient operation.

Integrated with a 3D visual recognition system that captures object shape and center of gravity in real time, enabling intelligent sorting and standardized stacking.

Supports dual-mode voice and visual interaction, realizing human-machine collaborative operation and intelligent dispatching, significantly improving operational convenience.

Deeply connected to the MES system, enabling data-based management of the entire workflow with full traceability, ensuring stable and reliable operation.

New Planetary Drive Crane

Equipped with a new type of planetary drive mechanism, the transmission is highly efficient and smooth, delivering strong torque. Paired with a precision transmission control system, it achieves smooth start-stop and precise speed regulation, significantly improving operational continuity.

With a compact structure and low deadweight, it is adaptable to a wide range of crane equipment scenarios. Installation is convenient, and maintenance is worryfree.

Multiple safety protections ensure reliable operation, balancing high efficiency with operational safety.

Shipbuilding Gantry Crane

With its double rigid legs and a statically indeterminate structure, the crane provides exceptional load-carrying capacity. No matter the wind and waves, its foundations remains rock-solid.

The proprietary segmented rail adaptation system perfectly fits diverse working scenarios, freeing structural installation from terrain constraints.

Through a multipoint force equalization system for realtime dynamic leveling, combined with BIMbased 3D fully intelligent obstacle avoidance planning, safe lifting with zero error and zero risk is achieved.

Ship- to-Shore Gantry Crane

The ultralong outreach, together with dualtrolley cooperative operation, enables efficient handover in loading/unloading processes and capably meets highdemand operational requirements.

Equipped with a laser scanning + AI vision automatic recognition system, millimetrelevel precise positioning is achieved. Relying on MPC dynamic antislew technology, smooth container transfer is ensured.

Multiple redundant protections, a 3D anticollision system, and a yard stack shape scanning function establish a comprehensive active safety defence line.

Portal Crane

Featuring dual hoisting mechanisms and a fourlink combined boom system, the crane realizes coordinated main and auxiliary hook operation, quick switching between heavy and light loads, and adaptability to various application needs. With GPS + encoder hybrid positioning and an antioverturning dynamic balance system, it remains as stable as a rock and fully controllable even under Force 8 wind conditions. The dualdrum multilayer winding design, together with an automatic antiropetwist deviation correction system and a 3D anticollision system, builds an allround safety fortress. This enables allweather, efficient, and safe operation, showcasing the strength of intelligent manufacturing.

Container Gantry Crane

Equipped with a precision positioning system, the crane enables fast grabbing, smooth transfer, and orderly stacking of containers, significantly improving yard operation efficiency. Reliable safety protection devices ensure the operation is safe and controllable, with convenient handling and stable performance.

Beam Lifting Machine+Steel Box Beam Combination

This combination for beam lifting machine and steel box beam serves as the core equipment and key component for bridge engineering construction, embodying the hardcore strength of national infrastructure development.

The beam lifting machine features a large span and high loadbearing design, making it suitable for efficient lifting, transfer, and precise erection of box girders, with stable operation and outstanding efficiency.

The steel box beam adopts a highstrength structure and an integrated forming process, offering strong load capacity and deformation resistance, ensuring the overall stability and longterm durability of the bridge.

Working in coordination, the beam lifting machine and the steel box beam efficiently empower major construction projects such as expressways and railway bridges. With exquisite quality, they lay a solid foundation for transportation infrastructure and facilitate the efficient completion of road network projects.

Expressway Bridge - Along Taihang Expressway

The design adopts high piers and longspan bridge structures; for example, some bridges use continuous rigid frames or cablestayed forms to adapt to terrain variations, reduce the number of piers, and minimize excavation and damage to mountainsides.

Designed according to the HighwayClass I load standard, the bridge ensures it can withstand current expressway traffic loads and future development demands. Meanwhile, considering possible geological hazards in mountainous areas such as earthquakes and landslides, antiseismic and antisliding design measures are implemented to enhance the safety and stability of the bridge.

Landscape Bridge - Zhenhuang Bridge

The bridge body features a largespan, robust structure with excellent loadbearing capacity, efficiently accommodating vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Refined craftsmanship creates a smooth profile and a solid foundation, delivering multiple protective performances such as seismic and wind resistance, suitable for complex geographical and climatic environments.

In the future, Dafang Holding Group will continue to uphold the philosophy of "Digital Intelligence Leads the Way, Quality Wins the World, Connectivity Links the Globe." Driven by innovation, the Group is committed to providing customers with smarter and more reliable products and services – letting the world see Dafang, and letting Dafang serve the world.
