From Shandong to Saudi Arabia: The “Going Global” Story of the LEAD SKYLIFT In-Vehicle Platform – A Shining Example of Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing in a Flagship “Belt and Road” Project

2025-12-05 Visits:

Recently, LEAD SKYLIFT successfully delivered a batch of high-performance vehicle-mounted aerial work platforms to a flagship infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia. These platforms will be directly used for steel structure installation, glass curtain wall maintenance, and interior construction of large venues in the city's landmark buildings, ensuring the construction progress of this key Belt and Road Initiative project with their superior stability and efficient operational capabilities.

In Jining, Shandong, at LEAD SKYLIFT's intelligent production base, which covers a total area of 250 acres, vehicle-mounted platforms customized for Saudi clients are undergoing their final rigorous testing before leaving the factory. Unlike in the past, the painting scheme and technical details of this batch of equipment are deeply aligned with the Middle Eastern client's specific aesthetic and stringent operating conditions requirements for landmark projects.

“From initial contact to delivery, we conducted multiple rounds of technical discussions with Saudi engineers,” said the project manager of LEAD SKYLIFT. “The Middle East has complex terrain and extreme climate, which places extremely high demands on the adaptability and reliability of the equipment. We not only provided intelligent safety modules that meet EU CE certification, but also optimized the hydraulic system for high-temperature environments to ensure that the equipment remains stable in environments above 50 degrees Celsius.”

The order was secured thanks to LEAD SKYLIFT's strong performance at previous international exhibitions. Just as industry leaders create a sensation with record-breaking products at bauma, LEAD SKYLIFT attracted global attention, including from the Middle East, with its technological innovation and superior quality, ultimately translating its technological advantages into tangible market orders.

02 Cutting-edge intelligent manufacturing: the source of sea gas

The confidence to venture overseas stems from the robust capabilities within LEAD SKYLIFT's factory. The company boasts over 67,000 square meters of modern factory space, forming a complete intelligent manufacturing system.

Inside the workshop, automated welding robots, CNC machining centers, and fully automated aerial work platforms operate in an orderly manner, ensuring the precision of every weld and the strength of every structural component. The company's newly installed advanced computer control integrated system truly realizes intelligent and automated management of the entire process from material preparation to final assembly.

“Every piece of equipment undergoes tens of thousands of fatigue tests and simulations of various extreme working conditions before leaving the factory,” said the Quality Director of LEAD SKYLIFT. “We believe that the pursuit of ultimate quality is the only way to win the trust of the international market, which has extremely stringent quality requirements.” It is this industry-leading intelligent manufacturing system and fully traceable quality management system that has earned the products the label of “gold medal quality.”

03 Technological Leadership, Solving the Challenges of High-Altitude Construction

The vehicle-mounted aerial work platform delivered to Saudi Arabia this time fully demonstrates LEAD SKYLIFT's ability to solve complex construction problems through technological innovation. The equipment boasts significant working height and range, and its user-friendly human-machine interface and intelligent self-diagnostic control system can easily handle many challenges in overseas projects, such as high heights, large spans, and difficult positioning.

The company's technological strength stems from a professional technical team comprising over 30% of its workforce and a reserve of more than 40 technical patents. This continuous investment in R&D and technological accumulation enables LEAD SKYLIFT's products to not only meet general needs but also to be rapidly customized for specific regions and markets.

From core invention patents such as "a fault-tolerant control system for fault diagnosis of drive motor of new energy mining dump truck" to high-temperature resistant technology modules for tropical regions, LEAD SKYLIFT is achieving a leap from "following" to "running alongside" in the global high-end equipment field through independent innovation.

04. Shared Value, Cooperation Beyond Transactions

For LEAD SKYLIFT, delivery is not the end, but the beginning of in-depth cooperation. Before the equipment was shipped, the company provided systematic technical training to the Saudi operation and maintenance team, covering the entire process of operation procedures, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

This "product + service + technology" delivery model transcends a simple buyer-seller relationship, aiming to help customers maximize the value of their equipment and build strategic partnerships for collaborative development and mutual benefit. Throughout its globalization process, LEAD SKYLIFT has consistently upheld its core values of "taking on great responsibilities, following the right path, and achieving great things," striving to provide global customers with superior equipment and 24/7 professional solutions.

This successful entry into the Saudi high-end market marks a significant milestone in LEAD SKYLIFT Heavy Industry's internationalization strategy. Currently, the company's sales network covers the entire country and extends to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and other regions, gradually forming a global market presence.

05 Seizing the opportunity to create a new global blueprint

Currently, the Belt and Road Initiative has opened up broad channels for China's equipment manufacturing industry to go global. LEAD SKYLIFT is seizing this historic opportunity and actively responding to the country's call for high-level opening up, bringing more groundbreaking intelligent products to the world.

Looking ahead, LEAD SKYLIFT will continue to focus on its "high-end and international" strategy. Taking this Saudi project as a new starting point, the company plans to further cultivate core "Belt and Road" markets such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Russia, enhancing the overall scale and brand influence of its international business through diversified regional expansion.

From its intelligent manufacturing base in Shandong to the construction front lines in Saudi Arabia, LEAD SKYLIFT is telling its own story of going global through intelligent manufacturing, unwavering commitment to quality, and shared value. This is not merely the growth of a single company, but a vivid microcosm of how the Chinese construction machinery industry is earning respect and a reputation in the global market through innovation and quality.
