8.Hometown of Lifting Machinery in China: Qingyuan Light Lifting Machinery Industry in Hebei Province

I. Industry Overview: One Village Supports 70% of the National Market
The Qingyuan light lifting machinery industry cluster, centered on Donglu Village, radiates throughout the entire Qingyuan District. It currently has over 700 light lifting machinery and related enterprises, including more than 100 enterprises with an output value exceeding 10,000 yuan, employing over 30,000 people, including over 1,000 technical professionals, and over 2,000 dealerships nationwide. The industry cluster’s annual output value exceeds 8 billion yuan, and its product output and exports account for over 70% of the national total, enjoying a wide reputation in domestic and international markets.

II. Core Product Matrix: Full Coverage from Hand Tools to Intelligent Equipment
The Qingyuan lifting machinery industry cluster’s product system covers 32 types and over 330 specifications, forming a complete product matrix from basic hand tools to high-end intelligent equipment, capable of meeting the needs of diverse application scenarios such as construction, ports and docks, mining, warehousing and logistics, wind power, and stage performances.

2.1 Manual Lifting Tools
Hand chain hoists are Qingyuan’s most representative flagship product and boast the highest market share nationwide. Qingyuan-made hand chain hoists are renowned for their high chain precision, strong shell wear resistance, and labor-saving operation, and are widely used in mechanical installation, equipment maintenance, and construction hoisting. Mainstream specifications cover 0.5 tons to 20 tons, with some companies able to customize heavy-duty specifications of 50 tons and above.

Lever hoists are suitable for confined working environments and are an important supplement to hand chain hoists, with strong demand in shipbuilding and pipeline installation.

2.2 Electric Lifting Equipment
Electric chain hoists are the fastest-growing product category in Qingyuan’s industrial zone in recent years. With the increasing automation of factories, electric chain hoists, with their small size, adjustable lifting speed, and low maintenance costs, are rapidly replacing traditional wire rope electric hoists, becoming the mainstream choice for overhead cranes in small and medium-sized factories.

Wire rope electric hoists are suitable for heavy-duty, high-frequency operations, with rated lifting capacities ranging from 0.5 tons to 80 tons. They are widely used in bridge cranes and gantry cranes in heavy industries such as metallurgy, chemical engineering, and shipbuilding.

Mini electric hoists are a newly emerging product category that the Qingyuan industrial belt has focused on developing in recent years. Their size is equivalent to a handbag, with rated lifting capacities ranging from 100 kg to 1000 kg. They are suitable for lightweight lifting applications such as auto repair, home improvement, and small warehouses, and have shown particularly strong sales performance in cross-border e-commerce.

2.3 Lifting Slings and Lifting Accessories
Lifting slings are one of the largest export categories from the Qingyuan industrial belt, mainly including three series: synthetic fiber slings, wire rope slings, and chain slings. Hebei Shenli Rigging Group is a benchmark enterprise in the domestic lifting sling industry; its products have obtained EU CE certification and are exported to major industrial markets in Europe and America.

Shackles (both bow-shaped and D-shaped), lifting pulleys, hooks, and other standard accessories are high-volume product categories in the Qingyuan industrial belt. Thanks to their price advantage and stable quality, they occupy an important position in the three major hardware wholesale markets nationwide.

2.4 Handling and Warehousing Equipment

Manual hydraulic pallet trucks, electric pallet trucks, stackers, and other warehousing and logistics equipment are key product categories that Qingyuan has focused on developing in recent years. With the rapid expansion of e-commerce warehousing and cold chain logistics markets, market demand for this category continues to grow, and some Qingyuan enterprises have already achieved a large-scale production capacity of tens of thousands of units per year.
