NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2013
platform company Jiangsu Eastman Heavy
Machinery (EHM) is producing products
aimed at the US, Europe and China.
The company is partnered with US-based
consulting company Technology International
Co. and was presenting itself for the first time
at BICES. One of the new products is the E12
Master series all electric vertical mast available
in 14 feet and 18 feet platform heights.
EHM president Mike Zou says he is in talks
with a major US manufacturer to sell the E12
under a cross sales agreement in the west.
The manufacturer also has a range of
scissors, self propelled booms, trailer mounted
platforms and tracked platforms that are
either production ready or in research and
development stage.They are all aimed at
China and other emerging nations in the
Middle East, South America, as well as Russia.
Among the production ready products is a four
model scissor range and eight telescopic and
articulated self propelled booms.
Before starting the company Mr Zou was
president of Chinese manufacturer Zoomlion’s
Speciality Vehicle Division. He spent 26 years
in the US during which he has always been
associated with AWPs and helped write the
ISO TC214 standard for aerial work platforms.
“I think there will be very strong growth in
China in the next three to five years,” says Mr
Zou. “It is hard to say exactly what that growth
could be but one fifth of the US market size is
possible.”
On the subject of safety he adds, “Safety
is becoming more important, accidents are
causing exponentially higher costs.”
