Top Five Companies Account for Over 28% Revenue Share of the Crawler Cranes Market

The聽crawler cranes market聽continues to remain a fragmented landscape with presence of various large and medium-scale participants. In the fragmented scenario, top five companies involved in the manufacturing of crawler cranes account for a significant share of the overall crawler cranes market.

Tier 1 companies such as Liebherr International AG, Terex Corporation, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd., XCMG Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., and Sany Heavy Industry Co., collectively account for a share of more than 28 percent of the crawler cranes market.

Tier 1 companies in the crawler cranes market have been focusing on the Asia Pacific region to expand their sales footprint. They have been acquiring new contracts for crawler cranes in Asian countries and are developing new production plants. For instance, in December 2017, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd., secured a new contract to supply QUY180 crawler cranes for construction of viaduct of expressway in Djakarta (Indonesia).

Liebherr International AG is focusing on strengthening its position in India. It is planning to establish new plant for development of crawler cranes used in construction.

OSHA鈥檚 Crane Rule Update by November 10, 2018 鈥?Regulating the Crawler Cranes Marketplace

Regulatory authorities are transforming the construction equipment space by updating rules regarding work practices to protect employees during use of crawler cranes. OSHA Final Cranes and Derricks Rule is expected to come into effect on 10th聽November 2018. This rule has includes mandates regarding national certification for operators of crawler cranes in a bid to reduce accidents during field operations. In line with OSHA鈥檚 crane rule, NCCCO (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators) has laid down various requirements to earn operator certification, including age limits, medical requirements and passing of written and practical exams.

VR Trend to Penetrate the Crawler Crane Training Space

Availability of skilled personnel to operate mobile cranes such as crawler cranes has always been a challenge for companies. In addition, training operators to efficiently run crawler cranes is time-consuming. Inexperience in running crawler cranes can lead to increased wear and tear as well as loss in operational efficiency and fuel. This resulted in the adoption of training simulations to extend training program scope and provide operators an innovative platform to experience operations crawler cranes without directly exercising on the field. However, traditional simulations are associated with high costs, zero natural depth perception owing to two-dimensional screen and less profitability.

In a bid to solve these problems, companies are using VR (virtual reality) that solves these challenges. Using VR, the trainee can have a real-time experience owing to the three-dimensional perception. The trend of VR is likely to proliferate in the crawler cranes, providing revolutionary training program and assessment platform for companies.
