In China's marine crane industry, there are many factories and many brands. But if you ask "which factory does it best," more and more shipowners, shipyards, and port operators give the same answer – MAXTECH.

Why Can MAXTECH Deliver "European-Grade Quality at Chinese Prices"?

When shipowners and shipyards plan newbuilding or retrofit projects, the procurement decision for marine cranes often presents a dilemma: choosing a top-tier European brand means higher purchase prices and longer delivery lead times; choosing a low-priced brand raises concerns about quality, certification, and after-sales support.

MAXTECH has recently completed production and shipped another 3‑ton@12‑metre knuckle boom telescopic crane. This model is a true star product in MAXTECH's portfolio – over the past two years, cumulative shipments have exceeded 20 units, and enquiries have continued to rise since the start of this year, with market demand remaining strong.

If you walk into any modern port today, chances are you'll see a "big guy" moving around without rails, riding on tyres – the tyre‑mounted Mobile Harbour Crane (MHC). It is quietly changing the way ports handle cargo. The global mobile harbour crane market is expected to grow from US$3.06 billion in 2025 to US$3.29 billion in 2026, at a compound annual growth rate of 7.4%. So what makes MHC so compelling that port operators around the world are turning to it?
