Lifting Your Business to New Heights: The Smart Choice for Moroccan Industry
Why Moroccan Companies Are Choosing Dongqi Cranes
If you are planning a new workshop, expanding your storage yard, or upgrading your production line, you are facing an important decision: which lifting equipment will give you the best performance, reliability, and value for your investment?
The answer, according to a growing number of Moroccan businesses, is Chinese-made cranes from Dongqi.
The Numbers Tell the Story: Chinese Cranes Are the Popular Choice
Recent trade data confirms what many Moroccan industrial buyers already know: Chinese lifting equipment offers an unbeatable combination of quality, advanced features, and cost-effectiveness.
Gantry Cranes: The Logistics Backbone
In 2025, Moroccan companies imported 43 units of gantry cranes from China, with a total value of $1.219 million. To put this in perspective, just one year earlier in 2024, the numbers were only 6 units worth $49,000. This massive jump shows that Moroccan logistics operators, port authorities, and construction companies have quickly recognized the value proposition of Chinese gantry cranes for their outdoor lifting needs.
Overhead Cranes: Smarter Investment, Better Capability
The trend is equally clear for indoor industrial lifting. In 2025, Morocco imported 130 units of overhead cranes from China, valued at $6.083 million. While the number of units grew steadily (up 26% from 103 units in 2024), the total value increased by an extraordinary 144% compared to 2024’s $2.497 million.
What does this tell us? Moroccan manufacturers are not just buying more cranes—they are investing in higher capacity, more advanced, and better-equipped machines. They are moving beyond basic lifting to acquire the precision, efficiency, and reliability needed to compete in today’s global market. And they are finding that Chinese manufacturers like Dongqi deliver exactly that.
