Zoomlion Redefining Construction With Green Intelligent Machinery at bauma
Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. is turning heads at bauma 2025 in Munich, bringing with it not just machines, but a bold vision for the future of construction.
At the world’s leading trade fair for construction equipment, Zoomlion is commanding attention from booth FS.905 with 67 cutting-edge machines spread over 3,840 square metres. The theme? “Greener Development, Brighter Future” — a promise backed by innovation, sustainability, and a global commitment to reshape the construction landscape.
This isn’t merely about showcasing hardware. It’s about Zoomlion’s relentless push towards intelligent, sustainable, and localised construction solutions. From zero-emission vehicles and 5G remote operations to modular designs and digital management systems, the brand is setting the bar high for the entire industry.
Setting the Standard in Green and Smart Innovation
Zoomlion’s portfolio for bauma 2025 reads like a wish list for future-focused contractors and policymakers alike. Think electric forklifts with lightning-fast charging, autonomous cranes controlled from the ground, and excavators that can play a game of bowling to show off their finesse.
The company is unveiling a suite of environmentally compliant machinery, including:
- Fully electric and hybrid-powered equipment
- 5G-enabled remote-controlled tower cranes
- Modular, recyclable component designs
- Real-time energy tracking and predictive maintenance systems
“Technology Empowers the Future” isn’t just a slogan — it’s a strategic approach, ensuring Zoomlion’s machinery isn’t only cleaner and safer but smarter too.
Aerial Work Platforms: Sky-High Innovation
The highlight of Zoomlion’s aerial work line-up is the ZT72J-V — the tallest straight boom lift in Europe at 72.3 metres. Featuring SX-type outriggers and a 13.1m telescopic jib, it’s engineered for extreme outreach and off-road terrain.
Complementing the ZT72J-V are models tailored for everything from city jobs to rugged landscapes:
- ZT51JEH: A hybrid boom lift for extended shifts
- ZA42J: Articulated design with precision load controls
- ZT14JE: Compact, lithium-powered lift for zero-emission urban sites
- ZX37T: Spider lift for tight spaces and uneven terrain
- ZS Series: Scissor lifts, from compact models to heavy-duty platforms
Integrated smart systems enable real-time monitoring, with safety features like smart helmets and digital diagnostics improving both performance and worker protection.
Tower Cranes: The Rise of Remote Intelligence
Zoomlion’s R800-40 Flat-Top Tower Crane is a game-changer. Boasting the highest tonnage ever introduced by Zoomlion in Europe, it’s engineered for complex high-rise builds and large-scale infrastructure.
- Remote operations via 5G
- Smart hook-tracking cameras
- Handheld ground controls
All of this translates into faster setup, safer environments, and fewer personnel working at height. The tower cranes will also include CE-certified R-series models tailored for the European market.
Earthmoving Equipment: Compact Powerhouses
The ZE20G compact excavator, already leading the European market, returns with impressive agility, a climate-controlled cab, and energy-efficient systems. Its newer cousin, the ZE27GU, features ergonomic improvements and a fresh cabin design.
Other notable mentions include:
- ZS030R: An ultra-narrow skid-steer for tight urban spaces
- ZE55GU & ZE145GU: Energy-efficient, all-weather workhorses
- ZS090V: Vertical-lift skid-steer with 30% wider visibility
Zoomlion’s excavators are engineered for versatility — ideal for gardens, basements, utility corridors, and tricky-to-reach spaces.
Concrete Machinery: Pouring Intelligence into Urban Projects
Zoomlion is setting the pace in concrete with its 9m3 Electric Concrete Truck Mixer, featuring modular batteries and a smart cockpit. Perfect for zero-emission projects in city centres.
Joining it are:
- 32m Truck-Mounted Concrete Pump: Compact and flexible
- 50m Truck-Mounted Pump: Longer reach with intelligent leg support
These machines aren’t just about brute strength — they’re packed with digital tools to assist operators, manage performance, and improve accuracy.
Forklifts: Heavy-Duty Meets Eco-Friendly
Zoomlion’s FB50H electric forklift delivers a solid 5-tonne capacity without a drop of diesel. Rapid charging and a rugged design make it ideal for logistics hubs and warehouses aiming to cut emissions.
Other forklift offerings include:
- FB25E: Compact for indoor work
- FL25H: Hybrid performance model
- SD35Z: Diesel model for tough environments
All units are equipped with smart energy-saving tech, noise-reduction systems, and enhanced safety sensors, aligning with Europe’s strict green regulations.
Mobile Cranes: Lifting Expectations
Zoomlion’s ZAT1200E is a CE-certified, WVTA-compliant, all-terrain crane with a 120-tonne capacity, 7-section boom, and hydro-pneumatic suspension. It’s built for high-demand urban or highway jobs.
Also making waves:
- ZAT1600V853E: 65m boom, 5008 kN·m torque, remote controls
- ZLK7600V803: 25t capacity folding boom, high-speed electro-hydraulic system
These mobile cranes strike a fine balance between brute force and brainpower.
Global Manufacturing, Local Focus
Zoomlion isn’t new to the European market. With manufacturing bases in Germany and Italy, the company has committed to localisation strategies that tailor machines to regional regulations and jobsite needs. Subsidiaries like m-tec and CIFA bring region-specific products, including interactive VR experiences at bauma.
According to Huili Ren, Assistant President of Zoomlion, “Zoomlion is committed to creating intelligent, green machinery solutions for the global market, with a special focus on local needs.”
