Rising Crane Imports from China: Dongqi Crane’s Strategic Advantage in the Romanian Market
Executive Summary: A Market in Transformation
Romania’s industrial landscape is undergoing significant change. According to China Customs data, Romania imported 5 units of gantry cranes from China in 2025 with a total value of USD 157,000, compared to 10 units valued at USD 92,000 in 2024. For bridge cranes, the growth is even more pronounced: Romania imported 25 units valued at USD 728,000 in 2025, a substantial increase from just 6 units valued at USD 73,000 in 2024. These figures reveal two clear patterns: first, the unit value of imported gantry cranes has increased significantly, indicating a shift toward higher-capacity, more sophisticated equipment; second, bridge crane imports have grown dramatically in both volume and total value, reflecting accelerating demand across Romanian industries.
This import growth aligns with broader regional trends. The Asia-Pacific crane market reached USD 24.22 billion in 2024, with China accounting for 40.5% of this total and exporting to more than 150 countries worldwide. China‘s crane industry has seen its total import and export volume exceed USD 500 million in 2023, with year-on-year growth exceeding 30%. As Chinese crane manufacturers continue expanding their global footprint and enhancing product quality, Romanian businesses are increasingly turning to Chinese suppliers for reliable, cost-effective lifting solutions.
For Romanian industrial operators, port authorities, construction firms, and manufacturers, understanding this shifting procurement landscape is essential. Dongqi Crane stands at the forefront of this transformation, offering a comprehensive portfolio of crane solutions designed to meet the specific requirements of the Romanian market.
1. Understanding Romania’s Crane Market Dynamics
1.1 Infrastructure Development as a Primary Growth Driver
Romania is currently experiencing a sustained period of infrastructure investment that directly fuels demand for lifting equipment. Significant government investments in infrastructure projects have boosted the demand for heavy construction machinery, with the country‘s heavy construction equipment market being primarily driven by infrastructure development, urbanization, and real estate projects. As a member of the European Union, Romania benefits from various EU funding programs that provide financial support for public infrastructure projects, including EU assistance in transport-related initiatives. These funded projects require extensive material handling capabilities at construction sites, where bridge cranes, gantry cranes, and jib cranes play essential roles in lifting and positioning heavy components.
The equipment rental market is expanding rapidly in Romania, driven by the volatility of public investments and rising acquisition costs. Among the most in-demand equipment are excavators, mobile cranes, and compaction machinery, used primarily in public projects such as roads, sewerage systems, and logistics construction. This rental market expansion creates opportunities for crane suppliers to partner with rental companies seeking reliable, cost-efficient equipment.
1.2 Port Modernization on the Black Sea Coast
Romania’s strategic position on the Black Sea has made port infrastructure development a national priority. The Port of Constanța, Romania‘s largest maritime gateway, is undergoing substantial modernization. DP World has expanded its operations at Constanța South Container Terminal, adding two mobile harbor cranes that boost the terminal’s handling capability to reach 810,000 TEU in 2026-2027. The company has also completed a 119,000 m² multimodal terminal platform with two new Liebherr LHM 600 mobile harbor cranes, representing a key phase of DP World‘s 20-year modernization plan in Romania. Additionally, the largest material handler ever installed at the Port of Constanta—a Sennebogen 885 hydraulic crane weighing approximately 320 tons—has been successfully commissioned with a handling capacity of up to 15,000 tons per day.
These port developments demonstrate Romania’s commitment to expanding its maritime logistics capabilities. However, port operations require not only large mobile harbor cranes but also supporting equipment such as workshop bridge cranes for maintenance, gantry cranes for container handling, and jib cranes for localized lifting tasks. Dongqi Crane‘s product range addresses these ancillary port requirements with solutions that complement existing terminal infrastructure.
1.3 Industrial and Manufacturing Sector Growth
Romania’s manufacturing and logistics sectors are driving demand for lifting equipment to enhance material handling and operational efficiency. The country‘s industrial lifting equipment market includes a variety of equipment such as cranes, hoists, and forklifts used to move heavy loads in industrial settings, with construction, manufacturing, and logistics all contributing to overall demand growth. The rise in real estate activity, coupled with urban regeneration efforts in older districts, intensifies the demand for heavy machinery including cranes. As manufacturing operations expand and modernize, the need for reliable overhead handling systems becomes increasingly critical.
1.4 Romania’s Shift Toward Chinese Crane Suppliers
Romanian businesses are increasingly recognizing the value proposition offered by Chinese crane manufacturers. Chinese crane exports have shown consistent growth in quality and technological sophistication, with products now meeting international standards and certifications. The combination of competitive pricing, reliable performance, and shorter lead times compared to European manufacturers has positioned Chinese suppliers as attractive alternatives for Romanian buyers. This trend is clearly reflected in the China Customs data showing substantial year-over-year growth in Romanian imports of both gantry and bridge cranes.
2. Bridge Crane Solutions for Romania’s Industrial Sector
Bridge cranes (overhead travelling cranes) represent the fastest-growing category of Romanian crane imports from China. The 2025 data shows a fourfold increase in unit volume and a tenfold increase in total value compared to 2024, indicating strong market acceptance and demand expansion.
