In response to devastating flood and landslide damage along the G216 National Highway leading to Gyirong Port in Xigaze, Tibet, XCMG rapidly deployed dozens of heavy excavators, loaders, and mobile cranes to battle day and night on the frontline, reconnecting this critical international trade corridor.

Racing Against Time at 4,000+ Meters Altitude

Heavy rainfall and mudslides triggered severe road collapse on G216 National Highway, cutting off direct transport access to Gyirong Port—a key trading hub between China and South Asia. At 12:00 on September 1st, professional emergency rescue forces equipped with over 33 sets of primary machinery launched an all-out assault against damaged sections, pushing the work face forward until only 800 meters remained before full connection.

The XCMG Southwest Regional Task Force quickly mobilized on-site resources, collaborating with local dealers and clients to deploy dozens of hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, and truck cranes. Compact excavators served as trailblazing vanguards probing deep into severe bottleneck zones, while medium and heavy hydraulic excavators cleared massive rock debris around the clock.

Round-the-Clock Support: “Equipment Running, Service Never Stops”

Disaster relief is an urgent mission. Working at high altitudes with thin air, dense fog, and frequent rockfalls presents severe challenges to both operators and equipment. XCMG deployed senior service engineers to remain permanently on the frontline, pre-positioning critical spare parts to guarantee non-stop operation of all rescue units.

“In the face of disaster, every second counts. To outpace time, we must maintain equipment at peak condition so emergency rescue and road-clearing operations never stall for a single minute.”

On the night of August 31st, despite heavy mountain fog and dropping temperatures, XCMG personnel rushed toward the epicenter. Regardless of whether machinery belonged to commercial clients or partner teams, XCMG engineers provided immediate technical inspection and rapid troubleshooting for every vehicle on site.

Through unmatched engineering reliability and seamless collaboration, XCMG continues to demonstrate the strength and resilience of Chinese heavy equipment manufacturing on critical infrastructure frontlines worldwide.
