XCMG has delivered its XCA1000G8-1K all-terrain crane to South Korea, marking another push by the Chinese manufacturer into markets traditionally dominated by European brands. The 1000-tonne capacity crane represents XCMG's heavy-lift portfolio expansion in Asia. European crane makers including Liebherr, Tadano Demag and Manitowoc face growing competition as Chinese manufacturers target established markets with aggressive pricing. South Korean construction firms are increasingly testing alternatives to Western suppliers for large-capacity mobile cranes.
