Zoomlion Extra Large Tower Crane Constructs Kuwait Air Harbor

In recent years, under the influence of the “Belt and Road Initiative,” equipment manufacturing companies represented by Zoomlion have developed rapidly in the Middle East. Recently, Zoomlion’s six 120-ton walking tower T2850-120 was sent to Kuwait from the domestic sea. It is reported that these large towers will be used for the construction of Kuwait International Airport, one of the nine new airports in the world and Kuwait’s national key infrastructure project.

According to statistics, the construction project of the Kuwait International Airport is one of the major projects in the Kuwait development plan. The project has a total investment of 6 billion U.S. dollars and can transport 50 million passengers every year. It is known as a green airport—it looks like a spaceship. The glass window can filter sunlight while reflecting heat, and the roof is equipped with a large solar panel. The use of sufficient light in the desert to generate electricity will become a terminal building for the LEED Green Building Gold Certification of the US Green Building Association, which has a very exemplary effect. After completion, it will ease the air traffic pressure in Kuwait and become a new shipping hub in the Middle East.

Zoomlion Walking Flat Tower T2850-120

Zoomlion’s tower crane products are mainly involved in the construction of Terminal 2 and the builder of the project, LIMAK, stated that the tower cranes of this project need to be carried on load and heavy truck cranes. In place, stability and micromotion, safety requirements are high.

After comparing several companies, Limak finally chose Zoomlion’s walking tower-head tower T2850-120, which was the result of the company’s selection of many international equipment manufacturers and even European and American companies—“Because Previously used Zoomlion's products in Turkey and other projects, with stable performance, high efficiency, and guaranteed service, Zhonglian has completed 24 hours of product selection, non-standard basic design, installation and debugging, and training. Supporting position, solving worries, and ensuring that the project will be carried out on schedule. I believe that Zoomlion's quality and international brand are very much the same, said Limack Purchasing.

It is understood that the working area of ​​the 6 tower cranes is the central part of the terminal building, the heaviest construction and the largest workload. According to the relevant person in charge of Zoomlion, the T2850-120 tower crane is a star product of Zoomlion, with an arm length of 85 meters, a lifting capacity of 120 tons, stable performance, high safety, and a flat head tower crane suitable for airport tower groups. The construction conditions, the boom is rigid, and the rotation orientation is accurate. After considering the factors such as lifting performance, delivery cycle, and cost-effectiveness, the customer determines the purchase of the tower crane.

In addition, the on-site operating conditions require the equipment to be loaded and carried during heavy lifting. The T2850-120 foundation for traveling uses non-standard design. The blocky foundation facilitates on-site construction and track expansion, which saves customers a lot of construction costs and time.

Kuwait is a microcosm of Zoomlion’s in-depth deployment of the Middle East region. Take tower cranes as an example. In the Middle East, Zoomlion’s market share ranks first in the domestic industry. At the same time, the company has a complete spare parts and after-sales service system in the Middle East. Ten years ago, it established the first spare parts center for construction machinery in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. As a center, it can realize full radiation and support for the spare parts service of equipment in the Middle East.

The relevant person in charge of Zoomlion stated: "Kuwait and Dubai are both important commercial and financial centers in the Middle East and are an important part of the 'One Belt and One Road' initiative. We will use this as a fulcrum to promote the products and services of the Middle East market "Law's rooting, prosperity and development." (This article comes from Zoomlion.)
