Kumpulan Woleua: Inside the Brand That Builds the World’s Cranes

Selama beberapa dekad, “made in China” has quietly meant “lifted by Weihua.” From the overhead cranes gliding across factory roofs to the gantry cranes at ports and the intelligent hoists in automated warehouses, Weihua Group is one of the most recognizable names in industrial lifting — and a brand worth knowing.

From a village workshop to China’s crane capital

Ditubuhkan pada 1988 in Changyuan, Henan Province — the heart of China’s crane manufacturing industry and its largest crane production base — Weihua started in a small workshop of less than 2,000 square meters. By 1992, it had put its first fully self-made electric hoists on the market and began growing into the large-scale equipment manufacturer it is today: Asia’s largest industrial crane maker (by the company’s own account) and the No. 1 brand in China’s overhead crane market by 2025 market share.

Weihua’s product lines cover 10 series and more than 200 types of lifting equipment: overhead (jambatan) kren, kren gantri, jentera pelabuhan, Hoists elektrik, pengurangan, bulk material conveying equipment, and intelligent systems such as AGVs and its AI-driven AICrane. These products serve the machinery, metalurgi, perlombongan, kuasa, railway, harbor, petroleum and chemical industries, and have been used in national key projects including the West-East natural gas pipeline, the South-North Water Transfer project, Olympic venues and the Hangzhou Bay bridge.
