Efficient Integration to Create a New Force in Overseas Markets Zoomlion K43C Pumps Successfully Goes Down in Hunan

Zoomlion's K43C pump truck successfully exited in Hunan

It is understood that Hunan CIFA is a "localized" innovation base integrating design, R&D, and manufacturing in Changsha, Hunan, which is based on the integration of Italian CIFA and advanced technology of its own concrete machinery. Hunan CIFA has provided a steady stream of high-quality products for overseas markets, and has completed the development of various C series products such as K34C, K36C, K38C, K40C, K49C, and K56C.

Among them, the C series is the CIFA classic concrete pump product series, which is favored by overseas customers with wide market adaptability and high cost performance. As a heavyweight of the C series products, the K43C pump truck is also a key product of the Sino-Italian team.

It is understood that in order to make K43C more suitable for the needs of the local market in Europe, and technical improvements, in the product development stage, technical staff of Hunan CIFA and Italy CIFA conducted in-depth integration and communication in the overall design stage and component design stage.

Zoomlion’s technical director said that the pump truck fully complies with the CE certification requirements and has also made many adaptive designs to meet the “localization” requirements of the European market. “The project team members of both China and Italy have done a lot of improvement on the details of hydraulic piping, stairs and coverings, electrical control cabinet and rear cabinet design, and lubrication system layout.”

According to reports, K43C pump product breakthrough includes four aspects: The first is its equipped with CIFA's newly developed Easytronic system, in terms of user-friendly, energy-saving control, safety performance and other aspects have greatly improved; Second, through the modular design Enhance the versatility of its components and features high reliability; Third, through the topology optimization technology, greatly reducing the overall vehicle quality, improve the boom life and stability; Fourth, optimize the overall design for overseas markets The layout reduces product costs.

Repeated cooperation has become the advantage of this product's joint research and development. The engineers of Sino-Italian Technology Department solved the production problems in the first place. During the debugging process of the electric hydraulic system, the Italian CIFA electrical engineer flew to Changsha for guidance on a long journey. The engineers carefully studied the drawings and went to the front line to teach the electricians the wiring and procedures.

“It should be said that the K43C's off-line at CIFA in Hunan marks the further integration of Zoomlion and CIFA. In the future, we will also carry out more research and development and production of classic concrete products, trailer pumps and distribution machines.” The person in charge said.

It is understood that Zoomlion acquired Italian CIFA in 2008 and has become the world's leading concrete enterprise. Zoomlion and CIFA have highly integrated in the field of concrete machinery and achieved good performance. CIFA has production bases in Italy and in Changsha, Hunan, China. According to CIFA's unified quality requirements, CIFA produces concrete equipment under the brand name CIFA and exports it to different overseas markets. The two parties also jointly developed a series of world-class concrete products such as the 101-meter carbon fiber jib pump truck and concrete jet manipulator that created Guinness World Records.
