SANY Heavy & Nuclear leak in Japan

62m Sany Truck Mounted Concrete Pump Sent to Support Fukushima Nuclear Power Station

Since the outbreak of Japan’s nuclear crises in Fukushima nuclear power station, the determination and the strong will of Japanese people have touched the whole world. In March 19th, Tokyo Electic Power Company (TEP), which runs the plant, sent mail to China’s Embassy in Japan and Sany Heavy Industry, hoping to buy Sany 62m concrete pump to support the water spraying operation in the nuclear plant. Sany has showed great concern at the event and responded positively that Sany would offer its 62m concrete pump to TEP free of charge to help fight against the current crises. The equipment has left Sany head quarter in Changsha and is now heading towards Shanghai. It is estimated that the concrete pump will arrive in Japan on Wednesday.

March 19th, a emergency mail from TEP president Masataka Shimizu has been sent to Sany Heavy Industry. In the letter, he wrote, “As we experienced a very severe earth quake and a huge tsunami on March 11th, 2011, we now has serious situation to cope with in our nuclear power plant. We certainly appreciate your kindest offer to send your product, Truck mounted concrete pump SY5502THB 62B to Japan free of charge. We would like to accept this offer and would like to use the truck mounted concrete pump SY5502THB in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Thank you again and we anxiously wait for the pump to arrive.”

According to reports that TEP has been using equipments like fire truck, military helicopter, truck mounted concrete pump to spray water into the reactors, trying to cool them down and restart the reactors’ cooling system. TEP knew that Sany was the record holder for the concrete pump with the longest boom reach. Then it sent purchase inquiry of Sany SY5502THB truck mounted concrete pump to Sany Heavy Industry. After hearing the situation in Japan, Mr. LIANG Wengen, chairman of Sany Heavy Industry promised that Sany would give its 62m concrete pump to TPE free of charge and was willing to help Japanese people fight against this crises.

YANG Zhihua, the vice general manager of Sany Overseas, commented “the 62m concrete pump will mainly be used in the water spraying operation for the No.4 reactor. The reactor is 46 meters high and the concrete pump has to keep a 14 meters distance from it. Sany’s 62m truck mounted concrete pump is just the one that meet such requirement.”

In 2007, Sany 66m truck mounted concrete pump made the Guinness Record as the concrete pump with the longest boom range. Merely two years later, Sany refreshed its own record with a 72m truck mounted concrete pump. Now Sany Heavy Industry is still the holder of this honor.

The booming technology is the key technology for the manufacturing of truck mounted concrete pump. Before, the technology was controlled by American and German Companies. After years of research and development, Sany Heavy Industry managed to develop China’s frist truck mounted concrete pump. After ten years’ of development, Sany’s boom length for concrete pump has incresed from 37m to 72m. Sany now has the largest manufacturing plants for truck mounted concrete pump and is recognized and trusted by the customers as the leading brand in the concrete machinery industry.

A brand with a history in international operation

Sany sending concrete pump to Japan was not the first time that we saw Sany’s appearance in international operation. In October 2010, Sany SCC4000 crawler crane joined the rescue of trapped Chilean miners and was called “the king of cranes in China”. Sany crawler crane was one of the two rescuing equipment on site and was the only equipment from Asia. HAO Heng, Sany’s service engineer was the only rescuer from Asia. The rescue operation was succsessful and all trapped miners were saved and unharmed. In the operation, Sany’s products and service left very good impression to the local people made the world know the quality of “made in China”.

“The reason why Chile chose Sany in their rescue plan is that Sany has a fame for its high qulity products and first class service as well. Japan is a country famous for its construction machinery products. This time, TPE choosing Sany showed their trust for Sany’s concrete pumping products” said by a machinery expert.

As an international company, Sany never forgets it responsibility for the society and global community.

In Feburary, 2008, Sany donated 3million RMB to help fight against the ice disaster in Hunan and sent 21 Sany graders in the ice removing operation on Hunan high way. In May, 2008, Sany donated 3 million RMB, and constuction equipments valuing 15 million RMB to help people in Wenchuan earthquake. A Sany rescue and service team made by 80 people was sent to the stricken area in Sichuan. In June, 2009, a serious land sliding disaster attacked Chongqing Wulong. Sany’s four excavators were the first group of rescuing equipments arrived in the striken area. Auguest, 2009, the southern part of Taiwan was hit by Typhoon Morakot and suffered the most serious flood since 1961. Sany donated 3.5 million equipments to Taiwan to help people in the disaster. April, 2010, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake striked Yushu, Qinghai. Sany offered 15 million RMB and sent excavators to the disastrous area. China’s first foudation aimed for helping orphans in the disaster area was founded by Sany after the earthquake. May, 2010, a derailment happened in Shanghai-Kunming railway. Sany sent support team and was among the first group arriving at the site. Auguest, 2010, 5 excavators and 2 pile drilling rigs from Sany joined the rescue operation in Zhouqu earthquake.

China Concrete Pumper Gets Into Nuclear Effort
To cool quake-ravaged systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors, Japanese authorities have funneled water in from the sea, dumped it from helicopters, shot it from fire trucks and of late had success reestablishing pumps.

Now, they are reportedly bringing in a new weapon: A powerful Chinese-made truck designed to shoot wet concrete several stories into the air.

Changsha-based Sany Group Co. says its 62-meter truck-mounted concrete pump, used to build some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, is on its way to Fukushima at the request of Tokyo Electric Co., or Tepco. The plan, according a statement posted on Sany’s website, is to use the machine to pump water toward Tepco’s reactor No. 4.

Already well known in the construction industry, Sany is making a name for itself in disaster relief as well – partly with its own stream of press releases.

原子炉冷却のためヘリコプターや消防車による海水の放水作業が行われている福島第1原発に、中国製コンクリートポンプ車が投入されるもようだ。


このポンプ車は本来、建設現場での生コンクリート流し込みに使われるものだ。湖南省・長沙を拠点とする三一(サニー)重工によると、62メートルのアームのついたポンプを搭載したこの車は世界有数の高層ビルの建設に使われてきた。そのポンプ車が、東京電力の要請を受け福島に向かっているという。三一のウェブサイトによると、4号機への放水に使われる予定であるという。

三一重工は建設業界では既によく知られた会社だが、同社自ら配布したものを含む一連のプレスリリースなどにより、今度は災害救援でますます名を上げている。

Already well known in the construction industry, Sany is making a name for itself in disaster relief as well – partly with its own stream of press releases.

A huge crane Sany built was instrumental in the rescue of Chilean miners last year. The Chinese company also claims a role in rescuing Colombians trapped in mud). On the domestic front, the company sent a team to the site of Sichuan’s 2008 earthquake to help clear roads and extract survivors from the rubble.

Sany says the truck sent to Japan, originally ordered by a Saudi client and worth roughly $1 million, is being sent free of charge to the nuclear plant and was requested personally by Tepco President Masataka Shimizu. “Since the break out of Japan’s nuclear crises in Fukushima nuclear power station, the determination and the strong will of Japanese people have touched the whole world,” the Sany statement said.

Sany isn’t the only construction equipment maker contributing to the radiation containment effort. Concrete pumps from Putzmeister Holding GmbH are also working at Fukushima, according to the German company’s website. (Putzmeister reportedly has experience from Chernobyl and pumped concrete for the world’s tallest building). Meanwhile, U.S. engineering giant Bechtel is reportedly flying over a remote-controlled robotic water sprayer.

Sany’s participation, spotlighted by the Xinhua news agency Tuesday, is the latest evidence that the quake may be improving China’s famously prickly relations with its neighbor.

In other shows of empathy, Shanghai private equity firm Fosun Group last week pledged to donate 5 million yuan, or roughly $760,000, through the Chinese Red Cross on behalf of 50 nuclear plant relief workers while one of China’s highest profile philanthropists personally traveled to Japan to deliver cash and relief supplies.

For many outside of China, Sany might be best known for the role its founder played in defending the Chinese construction equipment industry as a national treasure in 2006 – and helping reorder how foreign private equity firms operated in China. Sany billionaire Chairman Xiang Wenbo emerged as the pied piper of a nationalistic movement that effectively blocked Washington-based private equity firm Carlyle Group’s bid to pay $375 million for control of Xugong Group Construction Machinery Co. “Selling anything is fine, but selling out the country is wrong!” Mr. Xiang declared in one of his blog postings at the time.

Any visit to Sany’s spotless factory near Changsha’s airport will reveal widespread corporate pride in pumping up the construction industry with equipment like the machine being sent to Japan.

Sany specializes in a construction process akin to weight lifting: Its machines overpower gravity to push dense material high in the sky. With high-reaching tubes, or booms, that are powered by massive pumps, Sany equipment can direct wet concrete upwards during the construction of skyscrapers. Its crawler cranes (made famous in the Chile mine rescue) have also been used in the construction of Chinese nuclear power plants.

The company claims participation in some of the world’s tallest construction projects, and according to Guinness World Records it boasts the longest boom for a truck-mounted concrete pump: 71.535 meters, or just over 234 feet.

If emergencies become a bigger part of Sany’s business, perhaps it should consider putting sirens on its trucks.
I didn't know Sany has become this NB in recent years. However the Chinese construction market is still full of Hitachi, Komatsu, Samsung, and Caterpillar equipment.
^^ Yep but the foreign manufactures never dominate the market, Chinese brands like Sany, 大连重工、中联重科、徐州重工、柳工集团、厦工、龙工、山推、中国国机 rule the roost. :) Chinese manufactures have been already in the position to compete with foreign couterparts in many ways.
But the car that carries the equipment is still mercedes,not perfect enough
I have no idea why Sany finally picked Mercedes as the chassis, instead of BAW, Sinotruk, Faw or Dongfeng products. The least important thing tho.
that really doesn't mean much if you consider the fact that most hydraulic components used in Chinese heavy machinery industry are imported from Japan, mostly from Kawasaki. It is gonna be a long way to get 'perfect', but the progress shown in this particular case is encouraging already.

Because the drivers want to driving a Benz too :)

That makes sense, in specific for those who can spend one million dollars buying a truck moutned concrete pump. The premium pricing is not an issue for them.

I hope Sany or other Chinese heavy mechinary works can get over the foreign brand complex and adopt more China's homegrown trucks. Benz or not, it's still a motortruck, sounds grating, banging...banging... Last year, Beijing auto workshop outselled Mercedes benz globally as the No.1 heavy trucks manufactory. Sinotruk, FAW and Dongfeng are all in top 5 in the worldwide market. They're supposed to get more chance.
With such a big market, they can do what ever they want, to surpass car company like hyondai is gonna be real easy,which has only like 4million cars sold last year,but too much maiban in china, like 1st auto,2nd auto groups, they has the biggest sales figure but they not inventing shiit, whereas smaller one like BYD,QIrui can make their own motor already,god save china.

^^ My first time to hear of this new brand, I do a search on google about it then find it's basically a joint brand of Chery, CIMC and Yuchai Machinery. I think their current main products are a little pricy (about ¥ 600,000/unit) cuz they are meant for the high end target customers.

dashboard looks cool

FAW and Dongfeng are both hopeless in term of passenger cars manufacturing, they dont possess any technology but just piece foreign brand out sourced parts together...
