A decade-plus journey of consistent dedication and steady presence.
Hosted at Changyuan International Convention and Exhibition Center on April 16, the 11th China Changyuan International Hoisting Equipment Expo grandly kicked off, centered around the theme “Led by Digital Intelligence, Globalized by Superior Quality, Linking Worldwide Supply Chains”.
Ever since the debut show up to this year’s 11th session, Weihua has relied on persistent innovation to pen an 11-year story showcasing China’s smart manufacturing on this international exhibition platform.
Boasting steady growth in scale and influence, the China · Changyuan International Hoisting Equipment Expo has evolved remarkably over the years. The event has expanded from merely 130 exhibitors and a 6,000-square-meter exhibition area in its inaugural session to nearly 700 participating enterprises and an exhibition space exceeding 38,000 square meters in its 11th year. It has now grown into a pivotal platform for industrial upgrading, international cooperation and professional industry exchanges, earning a solid reputation as a benchmark exhibition in China’s hoisting equipment sector.
Since the inaugural expo in 2014 up to the 11th grand event in 2026, Weihua Group has maintained a full and continuous presence at this influential industry exhibition. For eleven consecutive years, the enterprise has never missed a single session, consistently showcasing its cutting-edge technologies and innovative strengths on this professional international stage.
Eleven expos, eleven years of accumulation. Weihua’s technological evolution reflects the rapid advancement of China’s hoisting equipment industry.
From conventional cranes to heavy-duty space robots, heavy plate handling machines, S-series New Chinese-style cranes, and automatic casting cranes for metal smelting — Weihua has continuously expanded into specialized segments, achieving breakthroughs toward high-end and green manufacturing.
From millimeter-level anti-sway control technology to the AICrane system, multi-to-multi remote control systems, and high-speed high-precision distributed control systems — Weihua has overcome key core technological challenges and strengthened its independent innovation capabilities.
From the WEIHUA Crane Butler digital platform and fully localized intelligent controllers to digital design platforms and AI-powered manufacturing processes — Weihua has achieved a leap from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.
Over eleven years of technological iteration, Weihua has delivered a powerful answer of intelligent manufacturing at this international exhibition in Changyuan.
At this year’s exhibition, Weihua’s independently developed automatic casting crane for metal smelting became a major spotlight. Equipped with self-developed integrated electromechanical soft control and precision sensing technologies, the equipment effectively tackles core technical bottlenecks of automated casting operations under extreme high-temperature conditions, establishing a new performance benchmark for the industry.
Continuing Weihua’s in-depth accumulation in green and low-carbon crane technology, the upgraded S-series New Chinese-style crane adopts a modular structural design, which substantially shortens production and delivery cycles. Integrated with advanced AI intelligent control systems, the product realizes an essential upgrade from automated operation to full intelligent operation, standing out as another core highlight of the expo.
In addition, a series of segmented star products, including hydraulic hoists, intelligent cranes and non-ferrous metal special cranes, were officially launched at the new product release ceremony. These innovative exhibits drew extensive attention from industry specialists, enterprise delegates and global purchasers, who engaged in in-depth exchanges and cooperation negotiations on-site.
From 2014 to 2026, from Changyuan to the world, Weihua has used eleven years of continuous participation to witness the intelligent transformation of China’s crane industry. More than an “ever-present exhibitor,” Weihua stands as a practitioner of China’s intelligent manufacturing — driven by independent innovation, committed to quality, and empowered by green intelligence, allowing the world to witness the strength and responsibility of Chinese manufacturing in every lift and movement.
