Zoomlion breaks records with advanced aerial work platforms for construction

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. has made another significant leap in aerial work platform (AWP) technology with the release of its ZT82J, the world’s tallest straight boom AWP. Announced on December 24, 2024, during bauma CHINA, this innovative product reaches an unprecedented height of 82.3 meters, setting a new global benchmark. Alongside the ZT82J, Zoomlion also unveiled other cutting-edge AWP models designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and versatility across diverse construction environments.

Pioneering Aerial Work Solutions

The ZT82J stands out not only for its record-breaking height but also for its robust capabilities. With a platform amplitude of 34.1 meters and a maximum working load of 454 kilograms, it meets the demands of complex construction projects. The boom offers unparalleled stability through ultra-long composite movement technology and dual-cylinder synergistic control, complemented by 21 advanced safety features. This combination ensures maximum operational reliability and worker safety.

The ZT82J continues Zoomlion’s streak of breaking industry records, following its earlier releases of 68-meter and 72-meter straight boom platforms. Such achievements underline the company’s position as a global leader in the AWP market.

Expanding the Electric AWP Range

Zoomlion also introduced the ZT51JEH, an extended-range electric straight boom AWP, which supports hybrid operation modes. With a working height of 50.6 meters and a load capacity identical to the ZT82J, this model offers the flexibility of electric and diesel power. It is specifically designed for projects that demand long operational durations in both urban and remote outdoor environments. Fully charged and refueled, the ZT51JEH can operate continuously for more than seven days, addressing a key challenge in the endurance of pure electric AWPs.

Innovations in Crank Boom Platforms

Complementing the straight boom lineup is the ZA42J, Zoomlion’s largest crank boom AWP. With a spanning height of 24.5 meters and a maximum working height of 44.03 meters, this model leverages advanced multi-stage cylinder telescoping technology. Its fast lifting and probing capabilities make it a versatile solution for demanding operational scenarios, further broadening Zoomlion’s portfolio.

Telehandlers and Multifunctional Solutions

Zoomlion’s telehandler range, featuring seven models in both fixed and rotary configurations, delivers exceptional versatility. Designed for loads ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 tons and working heights of up to 25 meters, these machines can accommodate various attachments, including forks, buckets, and spreader platforms. This adaptability makes them invaluable across industries such as logistics, agriculture, and construction.

Smart Technology and Global Expansion

In line with its focus on innovation, Zoomlion has introduced intelligent wearable safety equipment and a sophisticated AWP management system. These advancements enhance operational monitoring and safety, aligning with the industry’s move toward digital transformation.

During bauma CHINA 2024, Zoomlion secured partnerships with over 20 clients across Australia, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, signaling its commitment to global market expansion. The launch of a global spare parts network further reinforces its customer-centric approach.

Commitment to Safety and Efficiency

Zoomlion’s dedication to advancing construction safety and productivity is evident in its relentless pursuit of innovation. The company’s strategic focus on research and development has resulted in products like the ZT82J that redefine industry standards. By integrating cutting-edge technology with practical solutions, Zoomlion continues to address the evolving needs of the construction sector.
