European OEMs Seek Investigation Into China Crane Imports

Liebherr, Manitowoc, Tadano, and Sennebogen have filed a trade complaint to the European Commission.

Together, these crane manufacturers account for almost the entire European mobile crane manufacturing industry. They are demanding an investigation into what they believe are unfairly priced mobile crane imports from China, which are harming competition in the EU market.

The complaint concerns self-propelled mobile cranes with lifting capacity of at least 30 tonnes, which are often active in energy infrastructure, transportation networks, emergency response, and military.

According to industry insiders, the probe will concentrate on key Chinese crane exporters such as XCMG, Zoomlion, and SANY, whose growing presence in the European market has sparked competition concerns among EU manufacturers.

The European manufacturers believe that Chinese manufacturers benefit from considerable state subsidies, allowing them to sell in Europe at prices that do not represent true material, energy, and manufacturing costs.

European OEMs emphasize continued expenditures in achieving stringent environmental, safety, and data protection standards, as well as advancements in crane performance.

They argue that sustaining a robust European industrial base is critical to the region's long-term strategic autonomy.

Company executives underlined their support for fair competition but said that current market circumstances warrant a trade defense probe. They have urged the European Commission to investigate the problem and maintain a competitive environment for Europe's mobile crane business..

Terex To Sell Genie Ahead Of REV Group Merger

Terex Corporation has announced intentions to sell its Genie aerial equipment division as part of a larger goal to restructure operations and concentrate on less cyclical sectors.

The move comes as part of a planned merger with REV Group, a specialist vehicle manufacturer located in the United States that produces fire trucks, ambulances, and terminal tractors.

Genie, one of Terex’s most recognizable brands, manufactures aerial work platforms and material lifts for use in construction and industrial applications. The segment recorded a 13% year-onyear sales decrease in the third quarter of 2025, causing Terex to consider a full sale or spinoff.

In the Middle East and Africa, Genie is distributed by dealers including Galadari Trucks & Heavy Equipment (UAE), MEDCO Ltd. (Saudi Arabia), Bahrah Trading Company (Kuwait), Khudairi Group (Iraq), Orascom Trading (Egypt), and Concord Access Solutions (South Africa).

The planned Genie divestment follows a series of portfolio adjustments, including Terex’s recent agreement to sell its tower and rough-terrain crane business to Raimondi Cranes, an Italy-based crane manufacturer owned by UAE’s Arada Group. The deal reflects Terex’s ongoing efforts to concentrate on less cyclical product segments.

Terex’s sale of Genie comes after a series of portfolio modifications, including the divestiture of its crane business and the acquisition of Environmental Solutions Group. The company stated that the reorganization is intended to establish a more diverse industrial business

with consistent demand and long-term development potential.

The merger with REV Group, which is slated to completion in the first half of 2026, will be accomplished via a share swap.

Terex shareholders would own around 58% of the merged firm, while REV stockholders will possess roughly 42%.

The new company will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TEX” and will focus on the emergency, utilities, trash, environmental, and materials processing sectors..

Smart On-Site Processing Reshapes

Middle Eastern Infrastructure

As infrastructure projects grow in scale and complexity, smart on-site processing is reshaping how materials are sourced, reused, and managed across the Middle East.

Across the region, infrastructure development is accelerating in both scale and ambition. From major urban redevelopments in Riyadh to new logistics corridors, ports, and industrial hubs, contractors face increasing pressure to manage materials efficiently, sustainably, and directly at the project location. MB Crusher’s approach to smart on-site processing brings material production into the heart of the construction site, reducing logistical complexity while improving control and efficiency.

MB Crusher promotes a construction model in which materials are not treated as waste but as valuable resources. Using MB attachments, contractors can process excavated material and

demolition debris directly at the job site. This reduces material transport, limits quarry extraction, and cuts overall project costs while maintaining consistent output quality.

Several projects across the region demonstrate how this approach delivers measurable results.

Riyadh’s Urban Evolution

In Riyadh’s city centre, a skyscraper project illustrates how MB attachments are redefining foundation work. BF90.3 and BF120.4 crusher buckets, paired with an MB-S18 screening bucket, convert excavated limestone and granite into construction grade aggregate without leaving the site.

The process follows four clear stages. Excavation first extracts natural stone that would traditionally be transported through congested urban streets. The screening bucket then separates fine material from larger rock. Crusher buckets reduce oversized material on site, and a final screening pass delivers accurately sized aggregate for drainage layers, sub bases, and foundation bedding.

This method lowers hauling costs, reduces emissions, and eliminates delays caused by urban traffic. Materials move metres rather than kilometres.

In Riyadh’s Al Nakheel district, similar efficiencies are achieved on a large scale. A BF135.8 crusher bucket working alongside an MB-S23 screening bucket processes thousands of cubic metres of demolition debris. As the district develops into a cultural destination, waste material is repurposed for reuse within the project. Contractors reduce transport requirements while aligning with Saudi Vision 2030 sustainability objectives.

Regional Applications

Beyond Saudi Arabia, MB Crusher technology has proven effective across major regional developments. In Djibouti, the USD 3.5 billion International Free Trade Zone relied on on-site crushing to manage large volumes of basalt. A BF120.4 mounted on a Volvo EC3800L excavator processed more than one million cubic metres of material for road construction.

By recycling material directly on site, the project reduced dependence on imported aggregate, lowered material costs, and supported the infrastructure requirements of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The Multi-Functional Excavator

From excavation to final construction, the principle remains consistent. Processing takes place within the footprint of the jobsite itself. Smart on site processing allows contractors to respond quickly to changing conditions,

maintain control over material quality, and reduce reliance on external suppliers.

This adaptability is critical for large scale developments such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and major urban expansion programmes, where space constraints and complex logistics demand flexible equipment solutions.

Vision 2030 Alignment

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, and Kenya are pursuing infrastructure led economic diversification under their respective Vision 2030 strategies. MB Crusher attachments support these objectives by converting waste into reusable materials, strengthening circular economy practices, and reducing reliance on virgin resources.

Screening buckets remove contaminants and prepare material for further processing, while crusher buckets produce high quality aggregate suitable for immediate use. Together, they

eliminate the need for external crushing plants and suppliers, helping contractors reduce environmental impact while accelerating project schedules.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG Preview

MB Crusher will mark its 21st year at CONEXPO-CON/AGG with two interactive booths at the Las Vegas trade show, running from 3 to 7 March 2026. The Platinum Lot booth P7733 will feature heavy duty crushing and screening buckets, screeners, pulverizers, and grinders. The Silver Lot booth SV2045 will present compact equipment designed for tight jobsite conditions.

Live demonstrations will showcase real world applications, allowing visitors to see on-site processing solutions in operation and examine the equipment up close.

From Concept to Reality

Smart on-site processing is no longer a future concept. It is actively shaping infrastructure development across

the region. Excavators equipped with MB attachments convert debris into construction materials, reduce transport related emissions, and lower operational costs.

Projects in Riyadh, Djibouti, Egypt, and beyond demonstrate consistent performance benefits. As Vision 2030 programmes progress, contractors who adopt on-site processing gain

a competitive advantage while contributing to long term sustainability objectives.

The construction site has evolved. Multi-functional excavators are replacing standalone machines. Waste becomes a resource. Infrastructure projects in the Gulf and wider Middle East are setting new benchmarks for efficiency and sustainability..

MB Crusher’s compact and adaptable BF80.3 crusher bucket is ideal for crushing and recycling.
