Stock stocks resonate with new markets, and rack and pinion equipment is gradually being expanded. The company's core layout is wind power lifting equipment. The main products include crawlers and lifting equipment. The company's lifters occupy a leading position in the North American and Asia-Pacific markets; the company's lifting products have a market share of about 30% in the European wind power industry. With the global trend of fan capacity expansion, the company's beneficial stock installation resonates with the dual market of new machine increments, and products are gradually being iterated at the same time. The rack and pinion lift was developed in response to the trend of larger fans. It solves the problems associated with traditional suspended steel wire rope lifts in tall tower applications. It is driven by rack and pinion, and runs more smoothly. It can be pre-installed in tower factories and plug-and-play at the hoisting site. Up to the first three quarters, heavy duty lifts and rack and pinion lifts accounted for more than 30% of the lift order amount in new orders. Compared with traditional lifting equipment, the value of rack and pinion equipment has increased markedly, and penetration is accelerating.
The product field gradually expanded, and the second growth curve accelerated growth. The company continues to expand its products in the field of non-wind power. In the industrial and construction sector, the company's products include industrial lifts, tower climbers in the photovoltaic and construction industries; in the field of safety protection, the company expands anti-fall systems, etc.; in the field of emergency rescue, the company lays out civilian high-altitude escape elevators and related supporting products.
