As the core power transmission component of cranes, our gearboxes are manufactured with high-strength alloy steel and precision gear technology, ensuring stable performance under demanding conditions such as heavy loads and frequent start-stop cycles. Through optimized tooth profile design and heat treatment processes, they achieve ≥96% transmission efficiency, while impact-resistant bearings and multi-layer sealing structures extend service life to over 100,000 hours.
