On the test site of MAXTECH's production workshop, a newly rolled-off 0.5-ton 18.1m telescopic knuckle boom crane was undergoing final performance verification – a custom model tailor-made for a Saudi client. The steel boom glowed with a steady metallic luster under the industrial lighting, and every stretch and retraction exuded the confidence of precision manufacturing.
The tester operates the console with precision, the boom extending slowly to its maximum working radius of 18.1 meters to steadily lift a 1.5-ton counterweight. Hovering, translating, and positioning – the entire sequence of movements is smooth and seamless. Retracting to 3.05 meters, the boom then secures a 10-ton heavy load, remaining rock-solid even under a weight far exceeding its own tonnage. This model switches flexibly between three working conditions, perfectly matching the complex needs of different cargo types and operation areas at the Saudi client's port. Such customization accuracy is quite impressive even within the industry.

MAXTECH's telescopic knuckle boom marine cranes have long gained popularity through their strength. The test video of the previously launched 3-ton 12m telescopic knuckle boom ship deck crane, once released, received unanimous praise from clients. After all, in the small-tonnage knuckle boom crane sector, few products balance operational stability and space adaptability as effectively, and this model hits the sweet spot for many clients. As word of mouth spread, orders from home and abroad poured in: a Malaysian client specially customized a 3-ton 8m model; a domestic port engineering enterprise took a decisive step, ordering 3 units of the 3-ton 12m model in one go, plus an additional 2-ton 16m telescopic knuckle boom deck crane.
Reliable products always stand up to authoritative inspection. A BV surveyor was invited to the workshop yesterday to conduct tests on the 3-ton 12m telescopic knuckle boom crane, with all performance indicators meeting the standards. A test team from Japan's NK Classification Society completed testing on the 3-ton 8m model customized for the Malaysian client last week. At MAXTECH, any type of classification society certification required by clients can be advanced as needed – this confidence was not built overnight.
Marine crane are not the only stars this year. The company's container spreaders, bulk grabs, and winches have also secured overseas orders one after another: a bulk terminal in Tanzania ordered a batch of hydraulic grabs to match existing cranes and improve loading and unloading efficiency; a maritime maintenance company in Southeast Asia purchased a customized winch system. It is said that their previous equipment had a high wear rate, prompting them to specially seek out our products for a trial.
From cranes to supporting equipment, MAXTECH's global market footprint is gradually expanding. After all, in the port equipment industry that values hard power, the key to continuously gaining client recognition lies in the precise customization of each piece of equipment and the strict control of each test, right? This, perhaps, is the core code for "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" to gain a firm foothold in the global market.
