FRANKFURT, Germany, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the recent 2026 meetings of the
International Organization for Standardization’s Technical Committee on Cranes (
ISO/TC96) in Frankfurt, Germany, more than 100 representatives from 16 member countries—
including China, Germany, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia,
Finland, and Japan — gathered to discuss the future of international crane standards.
XCMG Vice President and Chief Engineer Shan Zenghai led the company’s technical 
expert team as part of the Chinese delegation, contributing to discussions across
multiple key standards initiatives.

Ahead of the meetings, the Chinese delegation coordinated technical proposals and
standards priorities across key working groups. During the sessions, delegates contributed
to discussions on crane safety, inspection, and mobile crane operations, helping
advance several international standards initiatives.

During the meetings, Shan Zenghai — serving as the convener of the working group
on "Safe Use of Mobile Cranes" — reported on the progress of _ISO 12480-2, Cranes—
Safe Use — Part 2: Mobile Cranes_, a standard led by China. His update moved the
project forward to the Draft International Standard (DIS) stage.

Representing the Chinese delegation, XCMG’s technical experts also proposed a new
work item for _ISO 9927-2, Cranes — Inspection — Part 2: Mobile Cranes_, which drew
strong interest from international experts. In addition, the team helped advance
work on revisions to _ISO 9927-1, Cranes — Inspection — Part 1: General_, while 
also taking on responsibility for two additional international standard revision
projects. Through these efforts, Chinese companies represented by XCMG contributed
their technical expertise to next-generation crane technologies.

The meetings also advanced work related to 14 international crane standards led 
or revised by China, while two new international proposals were submitted and six
additional international standard projects were undertaken under Chinese leadership.
These developments further strengthened China’s role in international crane standardization
and reinforced the country’s position as a major global crane manufacturing hub.

Currently ranked as the world’s third-largest construction equipment manufacturer,
XCMG has led or played a core role in the development of more than 10 international
standards to date. From exporting products to helping shape global standards, XCMG
continues to support the advancement of Chinese manufacturing across the global 
industrial value chain while contributing to technological innovation and industry
upgrades throughout the construction equipment sector.
