Ken Lousberg, president of Terex China said: “The Chinese truck crane market is the largest in the world, and the 25 tonne capacity class is the most popular choice among local crane operators. The new Terex Chang Jiang Toplift 025G addresses this segment by providing a completely new entry into the market with features not found on other cranes. As a direct result of feedback from crane operators and owners in China, these cranes are well-matched to local market needs.”
