Zhengzhou Daily Conducts an Exclusive Interview with the Company


  New Dafang—Innovation Creates New Markets

  The newly developed 90-ton tire crane has passed the EU CE certification, successfully obtaining a “ticket” to enter the European market. The world’s first 1,300-ton trough-lifting machine and bridge erector have played a crucial role in the construction of the Shahe Aqueduct on the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. By focusing on market-oriented innovation, especially in emerging markets, Zhengzhou New Dafang Heavy Industry Science And Technology Co., Ltd. has embarked on a path of rapid development.

  “Building a car behind closed doors will never align with real-world needs; what we must do is stay closely attuned to both the international and domestic landscape, align our efforts with national industrial policies and market dynamics, identify the right market entry points, swiftly develop and launch products that closely meet market demand, and thereby lead the market.” This is how Li Gang, chief technical leader of Xindafang and a professor-level senior engineer, articulates the company’s approach to innovation.

  Market-oriented Innovation has provided fertile nourishment for the growth of Xindafang. In response to the accelerating development of global wind power resources and the complex installation environments for wind turbines, Xindafang has leveraged its years of design expertise in wheeled mobile cranes and electric construction cranes to develop a specialized series of tire-mounted cranes for wind power projects, significantly boosting installation speed and operational efficiency while maintaining an internationally leading technological level. Its 900-ton self-propelled fully hydraulic powered flatbed transporter is currently the largest-capacity powered flatbed transporter in China, completely breaking the long-standing reliance on imports for this type of equipment. Furthermore, the company is targeting offshore oil development by designing specialized construction machinery, continuously expanding into new markets...

  Continuously refining and innovating the innovation system to enhance the company’s core competitiveness. Xindafang not only boasts a national-level enterprise technology center, an academician research workstation, a postdoctoral research workstation, and the Henan Provincial Heavy-Equipment Transportation Engineering Center, but also leverages industry–university–research collaboration platforms to establish long-term partnerships with renowned domestic universities and research institutes, including Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Dalian University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Zhengzhou University, thereby providing robust technical support for overcoming key technological challenges in the industry.

  As a specialized domestic manufacturer of heavy-duty lifting and transportation equipment, Xindafang has developed a series of major construction machines with independent intellectual property rights, filling more than 20 domestic technology gaps, breaking 16 foreign technology monopolies, and spearheading or participating in the formulation of numerous national and industry standards. The company has also obtained over 60 national invention and utility model patents, thereby significantly advancing the industrial upgrading and structural adjustment of the large-scale special-purpose construction equipment manufacturing sector.

  Li Gang, director of the Technology Center, told reporters that the company will continue to increase its R&D investment and strive to launch more new products onto the market.
