About Zoomlion — 30+ Years of Construction Equipment Innovation

Founded in 1992, Zoomlion has grown into a global construction equipment leader with 5,200+ employees, 450,000 m² of ISO-certified production, and equipment operating across 145 countries.

Advice You Can Trust. Equipment You Can Rely On.

Zoomlion was founded in 1992 by engineers from the Changsha Construction Machinery Research Institute — with a belief that construction equipment procurement should start with understanding the project, not just selling machines. That advisory approach remains our foundation today.

Our equipment advisors review lift plans, calculate concrete pump reach requirements, and recommend equipment configurations before a single machine is quoted. This project-first approach has earned the trust of contractors in 145 countries — from regional building companies to international construction conglomerates.
