LONDON, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co. (“Zoomlion”) is making waves in the European market with the debut of its ZT82J straight boom aerial work platform at the Port of Bristol, UK. This isn’t just another piece of construction equipment; it’s a statement. Boasting a record-breaking working height of 82.3 meters (that’s roughly 270 feet!), the ZT82J is setting a new benchmark for aerial work solutions, poised to reshape how energy and infrastructure projects are tackled across Europe.

This behemoth of a machine was snapped up by Hire Safe Solutions, a leading access equipment rental player in the UK known for its unwavering commitment to safety and cutting-edge technology. Interestingly, this isn’t their first dance with Zoomlion. Just two months prior, Hire Safe Solutions added Zoomlion’s ZT72J model to its fleet. This repeat business underscores the escalating trust that global partners are placing in Zoomlion’s quality, components, and overall service – a critical endorsement in a market where downtime is costly and reliability is paramount. The significance? It signals a growing acceptance of Zoomlion as a major player in the global access equipment market, challenging established European and American brands.

The ZT82J isn’t just about height; it’s about intelligent engineering. Following on the heels of Zoomlion’s already impressive 68-meter and 72-meter models, the ZT82J shatters existing height records for straight boom aerial platforms. With a maximum outreach of 34.1 meters, it’s designed to conquer challenges such as wide spans, confined spaces, and the need for pinpoint precision – addressing pain points that have long plagued the construction industry. Zoomlion’s proprietary polygonal boom design cuts weight while boosting stiffness, minimizes lateral movement, and provides superior stability. It adeptly balances off-road capability with maneuverability in tight quarters. Zoomlion has baked in 21 advanced safety technologies, providing real-time monitoring, not just to meet standards, but to exceed them.

Zoomlion’s strategic move to introduce equipment capable of soaring beyond 80 meters fills a crucial void in the global aerial work platform market. The ZT82J is poised to provide a cost-effective solution for even the most complicated European projects, where both efficiency and safety are non-negotiable. Zoomlion now boasts a comprehensive intelligent access equipment portfolio ranging from 6 to 95 meters – the most extensive range in the industry. Deployed in over 100 countries and having already etched its name in national and regional height records, the company is demonstrably pushing the boundaries of global construction and industrial productivity.

More than just innovative technology, the ZT82J embodies a robust design meant to deliver enhanced safety, performance, and reliability to Zoomlion’s clientele. This latest delivery is further solidifying Zoomlion’s dedication to elevating industry benchmarks and fueling Europe’s infrastructure and energy development with heightened efficiency and safety. Look for Zoomlion to keep climbing, literally and figuratively, in the global construction equipment landscape over the next few years.
