Experience.

Semi-automatic rail crane for inland storage yard

The rail crane trolley has been upgraded to reduce its own weight by about 20%, reducing equipment shaking during operation, and at the same time, through structural design optimization, effectively reducing the windward area and weight of the equipment, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing energy consumption, providing better anti-sway At the same time of performance, it has the advantages of light weight, simple structure and convenient maintenance. In addition, in terms of equipment use and maintenance, Zhenhua Heavy Industry has fully considered the actual operating conditions in the later period, and equipped with an ergonomic cab design, so that the driver will not feel fatigued after working for a long time.

Zhenhua Heavy Industry has integrated the concepts of energy saving, environmental protection and sustainability into product design to meet the diverse and high-end needs of customers, and through the localization of some parts and components, it reduces the cost and shortens the manufacturing period.
