Zoomlion's 82-meter High 'Chinese Solution' Climbs to Global Value Summit
August 11,2026
Shanghai Baoshan, at the Baosteel plant site, next to a towering chimney, the boom of a telescopic aerial work platform is being raised to a construction height of 82.2 meters. The plant site is open and unobstructed, with strong winds at high altitudes, and the force of the wind on the platform increases with each meter the boom rises. Some blast furnace areas even require the equipment to rise to 65 meters before the smaller arm extends outwards by 18.5 meters. The combination of ultra-high height and large span poses a severe test for the boom's strength, control precision, and overall machine balance.
Recently, Zoomlion delivered its globally highest telescopic aerial work platform, the ZT82J, to a domestic customer, once again proving its strength in high-difficulty operations with outstanding performance. This product has been delivered nearly 10 times in various countries and regions. Represented by ultra-high meter segment products, Zoomlion's intelligent high machinery is continuously advancing into the global high-end market with technological innovation and localization layout.
Technology-driven, building competition barriers in high meter segments
As ultra-high-rise buildings, wind power operation and maintenance, petrochemical transformation, and urban renewal projects evolve towards higher and more complex working conditions, 80-meter class ultra-high telescopic equipment has become the technical high ground of the industry. Its core competitiveness is not just the height, but a comprehensive reflection of systematic technologies such as boom structure, hydraulic system, intelligent control, and overall machine stability.
In the Baosteel project, the equipment purchaser is a leading domestic high-altitude equipment rental company, holding nearly a thousand high-altitude devices and maintaining a long-term deep cooperation with Zoomlion. The person in charge of the company stated that Zoomlion's 82-meter model effectively broadens the boundaries of operation, helping the company to undertake high-value projects. Its core value "is not just the height number, but the high stability, high efficiency, and long-term reliable performance during aerial work."
Facing the stability challenges of ultra-high altitude operations, the ZT82J adopts a high-strength lightweight boom design, achieving a balance between working height, machine rigidity, and overall machine stability; the large span structure can easily cross the main body of buildings and large industrial equipment, adapting to complex site construction; the platform load capacity is enhanced, allowing for the one-time transportation of construction materials and tools, reducing repeated lifting and directly improving on-site work efficiency. The equipment also features an intelligent safety control system and AI operation and maintenance platform, supporting real-time status monitoring, remote fault diagnosis, and predictive maintenance, achieving full-cycle safe and efficient management.
Currently, Zoomlion's intelligent high machinery has built the most comprehensive product spectrum in the industry, covering working heights from 6 to 95 meters. Ultra-high meter segment products have a global leading advantage, products above 50 meters are firmly in the global forefront, and 80-meter class products have achieved global batch delivery, forming a unique competitive advantage in the industry.
Accelerating overseas expansion, localizing to break through high-end markets
From the industry perspective, the pace of Chinese high machinery going global is accelerating. According to statistics from the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, from January to June 2026, a total of 111,567 lifting work platforms were sold domestically, a year-on-year increase of 20.6%, of which 75,365 were exported, a year-on-year increase of 35.1%, with exports accounting for 68%, making overseas markets the main battlefield.
Overseas, Zoomlion's intelligent high machinery sales have covered more than 100 countries, including high-end markets such as the European Union, North America, Australia, South Korea, and Canada, with products fully compatible with local access standards and customer needs, leading in market share in several regions. Among them, high-meter segment products continue to refresh regional records, and ultra-high meter segments have achieved scaled exports in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
In August 2025, Zoomlion's ZT82J telescopic aerial work platform was officially delivered to the well-known British rental company Hire Safe Solutions, setting a new record in the European industry. This rental company is known for its strict safety standards and cutting-edge equipment selection, and has introduced two Zoomlion ultra-high meter segment devices in two months. The person in charge stated, "Zoomlion has established a comprehensive system in product, parts, and service, with quality standards highly consistent with our customers' expectations."
This market breakthrough is not accidental. In addition to
