Gantry Cranes and Overhead Cranes for Peru: Your Trusted Partner in Industrial Lifting Solutions
Peru’s industrial landscape is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and the latest customs data tells a compelling story about this evolution. In 2025, Peru imported 28 gantry cranes from China valued at $172,000, compared to 25 units worth $55.866 million in 2024. Meanwhile, bridge crane imports surged from 23 units in 2024 to 76 units in 2025, with values increasing from $469,000 to $1.148 million. These figures reveal a clear market trend: Peru is shifting toward a more diversified lifting equipment portfolio, with a particular emphasis on cost-effective bridge cranes for manufacturing and warehousing operations. As Dongqi Crane, we have been a dedicated supplier of crane solutions to the Peruvian market, supporting dozens of successful projects across mining, manufacturing, construction, and port sectors throughout the country.
Understanding Peru’s Lifting Equipment Market: A Data-Driven Perspective
The dramatic shift in Peru’s crane import patterns from 2024 to 2025 warrants careful examination. The gantry crane segment shows a striking contrast: while the unit count remained relatively stable (25 units in 2024 versus 28 units in 2025), the total import value dropped significantly from $55.866 million to $172,000. This suggests that 2024 saw the delivery of high-capacity, specialized gantry cranes—likely for major infrastructure projects such as the Chancay port development—while 2025 represents a more normalized procurement pattern focused on smaller-scale gantry cranes for general industrial applications.
The bridge crane segment presents an equally interesting picture: unit imports more than tripled from 23 to 76 units, with total value growing from $469,000 to $1.148 million. This demonstrates accelerating demand for overhead lifting solutions across Peru’s expanding manufacturing base, warehouses, and smaller industrial facilities. The average unit value remains accessible, indicating that Peruvian businesses are increasingly recognizing the productivity benefits of installing permanent overhead crane systems.
These import trends align with broader developments in Peru’s economy. The construction sector opened 2026 on a notably positive footing, with domestic cement consumption reaching 1.13 million metric tons in January 2026, a 14.1% year-on-year increase according to the Peruvian Cement Producers Association (ASOCEM). The Peruvian construction industry is expected to expand by 4.2% in real terms in 2026, supported by rising private investments in mining projects, an increase in export activities, and public investments in the country’s transport infrastructure.
Peru maintains its position as a top global producer of copper, gold, silver, and zinc, and its active mining operations require significant use of heavy machinery for extraction, processing, and transport. Regions such as Cajamarca, Arequipa, and La Libertad host major mining operations that depend on reliable lifting equipment for daily operations. At the same time, landmark projects like the Chancay Port—a key Belt and Road Initiative project between China and Peru—are reshaping the country’s trade infrastructure. Chancay Port began commercial operations in mid-2025 and has already demonstrated impressive results: in the first five months of operation, import and export volume exceeded $777 million, with container throughput reaching 94,400 TEUs and bulk/ro-ro cargo at 626,900 tons. The Peruvian government has announced plans to invest over 820 million soles in 21 public projects around the Chancay port area to enhance local infrastructure and promote regional economic development.
