To adapt to all extreme working conditions and improve the terrain performance, the ZRT850 uses the special heavy load chassis, large-ball wide-rail slewing bearing and 4×4 four-wheel drive.

Moreover, the leading BUS control system and light & sound alarm for failure and danger ensures the operation safety on the real-time basis. The rough-terrain-crane can be used extensively in hoisting operations and installation projects in oil fields, mines, ports and wharfs, and construction sites.
