Hong Kong’s status as a global logistics and financial hub demands material handling equipment that is reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. For businesses operating in this dynamic environment, from the bustling Kwai Tsing Container Terminal to precision manufacturing workshops in the New Territories, the choice of lifting equipment is a critical business decision.

Recent trade data illuminates a clear and compelling trend: Hong Kong industries are increasingly recognizing the unparalleled value proposition offered by mainland Chinese manufacturers. According to China Customs statistics, the import of overhead cranes from the mainland grew from 43 units in 2024 to 53 units in 2025, with the total value rising to $2.259 million. Simultaneously, the market for gantry cranes showed a significant shift towards higher-specification equipment. While the number of units imported adjusted from 46 in 2024 to 38 in 2025, the total value skyrocketed from $403,000 to $1.471 million. This dramatic increase in average unit value signals a decisive move by Hong Kong businesses to invest in more durable, technologically advanced, and higher-capacity machinery.

This is where Dongqi Crane steps in. As a leading Chinese crane manufacturer with a strong track record of serving the Hong Kong market, we combine decades of engineering expertise with a global outlook, underpinned by our Sino-New Zealand joint venture heritage.
