Turkey is an ancient country, known as the "cradle of civilization". Nowadays, another landmark building is on the rise-the Istanbul International Financial Center project, the tallest building in the Mediterranean region. In this world-renowned project, Zoomlion's large-tonnage boom tower crane has been struggling to build a winter.

“Zoomlion’s 50-ton super-large boom tower is easy to install and efficient to operate. Our construction companies and equipment leasing companies are discussing these two equipment and have expressed their strong interest in cooperating with Zoomlion. The heavy-duty tower crane has a big reputation in Turkey!" The client project manager gave no hesitation to praise. During the cooperation process, from the equipment bidding, to the installation of the site, to the construction performance, as well as the ultimate and professional service, all aspects of Zoomlion are trusted by customers.

Product delivery on time to win the opportunity

The Istanbul International Financial Center project covers an area of 170 acres, including 45 million square feet of office, residential, retail, conference, hotel, and leisure and entertainment spaces. After completion, it will reach 353.5 meters in height and become the tallest building in the Mediterranean region. After the project is completed, it will accommodate the leading companies in the Turkish financial market, state-owned and private banks, and other related companies. The Turkish government hopes to make Istanbul an international financial center through this landmark project.

For such an important national-level project, the customer considered and negotiated with crane manufacturers around the world, and finally selected Zoomlion. Customer Project Manager Mehmet said: “Zoomlion promises to complete the delivery of the equipment within 110 days after the order is confirmed.”

On October 23, 2020, the two L760-50 large-tonnage boom tower cranes ordered by the customer were shipped from Zoomlion's Changde Tower Crane Smart Factory, and arrived in Turkey for delivery to the customer as scheduled. In the early communication, Zoomlion also took the initiative to modify the plan for customers, which effectively reduced transportation costs, and customers further increased their favor for Zoomlion.

Excellent performance as the main force

As the so-called "knowing horsepower from a distance," the performance of Zoomlion's tower cranes has gradually become prominent with the progress of the project in terms of wind resistance, stability, and load-bearing performance.

The L760-50 boom tower crane is a star product of Zoomlion that has been tested by the market. This time, based on the needs of Turkish customers, Zoomlion has also made personalized improvements to the product. According to ZOOMLION’s R&D engineers, the independent tower height of this model can reach 51.45 meters, the maximum boom length is 60 meters, the maximum lifting weight is 50 tons, and the maximum lifting capacity can reach 11 tons. It has strong performance. After the product entered the site, the owner took on the heavy task of hoisting the steel frame and concrete precast parts of the project, and became the main force of the project construction.

In addition, the product also has the advantages of easy operation and convenient maintenance. The relevant person in charge of Zoomlion Construction Hoisting Machinery Company introduced: “The lifting, frequency conversion and slewing mechanism of the L760-50 tower crane adopts ABB full frequency conversion control. The start-stop and braking shocks are small, and the use is safer and more responsive. More sensitive and more accurate hoisting in place.” In order to enhance the operator’s comfort and maintenance convenience, the L760-50 is equipped with a luxurious intelligent cab, including an automatic positioning camera, an electric wiper, and an automatic lubrication controller.

The service is professional and efficient, and the problem can be solved easily

In order to ensure the smooth delivery and installation of the products, Zoomlion dispatched three overseas service engineers to the construction site to follow up the service throughout the entire process. Even if customers encounter difficult problems, they can be solved with the help of service engineers.

"During the installation, the site conditions were unable to install the product outriggers in accordance with the requirements of our drawings. According to the actual situation combined with the research and development requirements, we re-formulated the technical plan and successfully completed the outrigger pre-embedding. At the same time, the on-site storage yard space is small. Unable to stack all the parts of L760-50, we re-planned the installation sequence and hoisting plan suitable for the construction space according to local conditions. In the end, the product installation was completed quickly,” said the service engineer of Zoomlion who was in charge of the project.

The highly responsible attitude and professional ability of the service engineers of Zoomlion have won unanimous praise from the customer's project department and on-site workers.

Today, two blue and white L760-50 boom tower cranes are operating efficiently in the Istanbul International Financial Center project in Turkey, and their struggling construction has become a famous local billboard for Zoomlion. It has become the most shining business card made in China in Turkey. See Editor of Daowang Machinery Column/Ge Siyu
