DONGFENG 6WD crane truck
Recently, Chengli Automobile's high-end construction machinery brand successfully delivered the first
batch of 6WD crane truck to a major infrastructure group in the Middle East, marking another significant
breakthrough in China’s strategy to expand its high-end engineering equipment globally. The delivered
Dongfeng 6WD crane truck have received high recognition from overseas customers for their outstanding
off-road performance and multi-functional design, injecting strong Chinese capabilities into global
infrastructure development.
The Dongfeng 6WD crane truck is an innovative product developed by Dongfeng Motor specifically for
complex overseas operating conditions. Its core advantage lies in the **6-wheel drive system**,
which ensures stable operation even in extreme terrains such as rugged deserts and muddy mountainous areas,
improving mobility by 40% compared to traditional 4WD models. At the same time, the equipment integrates
intelligent lifting and efficient transportation functions, enabling multi-purpose use in a single vehicle and
significantly reducing customers’ equipment investment costs. For example, in a port expansion project in
Saudi Arabia, this machine completed rebar lifting and material transfer within just three days—25% more
efficient than imported equipment. Moreover, by quickly switching specialized attachments such as log
grapples and electromagnetic lifting magnets, the crane truck can flexibly adapt to diverse applications
in forestry, power, municipal engineering, and other fields, truly achieving "one machine, multiple roles."
This delivery fully demonstrates Dongfeng Motor’s global service capabilities. To meet the customer’s
stringent requirements for extreme environments, the Dongfeng team conducted two months of customized
testing prior to delivery, including high-temperature and sand-dust simulations, as well as a 3,000-kilometer
real-world road test. At the handover ceremony, the client representative praised: “The Dongfeng 6WD crane
truck not only solves our challenges in complex terrain operations, but also offers an 18% lower total lifecycle
cost compared to competitors. It is truly a tailor-made solution for overseas engineering projects.”
The batch of equipment has already been deployed in a large-scale energy project in the UAE, where it is being
used for wind turbine tower installation and pipeline transportation, quickly becoming the “star equipment”
of the local construction team.
This delivery is not only a milestone for Dongfeng’s construction machinery in overseas markets but also reflects
the upgrading path of China’s high-end equipment manufacturing industry. As the Belt and Road Initiative deepens,
Chinese construction machinery is shifting from price-based competition to a dual-driven model centered on
technology and service. The successful overseas deployment of the Dongfeng 6WD crane truck validates the
comprehensive breakthrough of domestic equipment in reliability, adaptability, and cost-efficiency, laying a solid
foundation for future large-scale exports.
Going forward, Dongfeng Motor will continue optimizing its 6WD technology and expand into emerging markets such
as Southeast Asia and Africa, providing smarter and greener construction machinery to support global infrastructure
advancement. This delivery is more than just machinery—it represents a global calling card for “Made in China.”
On construction sites far from home, Dongfeng crane truck are writing a new chapter for Chinese manufacturing
with precise lifts and steady tracks.
