Forged Port Wheel Solutions for ZPMC – Powering Global Port Operations

Client: ZPMC (Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.) – A world leader in port machinery and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Application: High-performance forged wheels for port cranes, including ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes, and harbor mobile cranes.
Regions Served: Europe, Middle East, South America, and beyond.

Challenge

ZPMC required durable, fatigue-resistant forged wheels capable of withstanding:

• Extreme loads (100+ tons) in 24/7 port operations.

• Harsh environments (saltwater corrosion, temperature variations).

• Long service life with minimal downtime.

Our Solution

As a trusted forging partner, we delivered custom open-die and closed-die forged wheels with:
✔ Superior Material Integrity: High-grade alloy steel (e.g., 42CrMo) for optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
✔ Precision Engineering: Tight tolerance control (±0.1mm) to ensure smooth crane movement.
✔ Advanced Heat Treatment: Quenching & tempering to enhance wear and impact resistance.
✔ Global Compliance: Certified to ISO, EN, and ASTM standards for seamless export.

Results

• 20,000+ wheels supplied to ZPMC, deployed in major ports like Shanghai, Qingdao, Rotterdam, and Dubai.

• 30% longer service life compared to conventional wheels, reducing replacement costs.

• Zero critical failures reported in 5+ years of operation.

Testimonial (example):
