BOB-LIFT exhibited at Phase 1 of the 140th Canton Fair, held 15–19 October 2026 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Pazhou, Guangzhou. The BLZ90K4 knuckle boom crane was on Booth 4.0F04 in Hall 4.0, and the SQ10ZA5 10-ton knuckle boom crane stood in the outdoor exhibition area. Across the five days our two booths received about 130 visitor groups, and a partner of a returning customer from Honduras confirmed an order for a second 10-ton crane at our stand.
Key takeaways
- Booth 4.0F04 showed the 4.6 t BLZ90K4; the 10 t SQ10ZA5 stood in the outdoor exhibition area.
- About 130 visitor groups came to our two booths, mainly from Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Central Asia.
- A Honduras customer who bought a 10-ton crane at the spring fair re-ordered one through a partner at our booth.

What was on Booth 4.0F04 and outside
Inside Hall 4.0, the stand was built around the BLZ90K4 knuckle boom crane, a compact model from our knuckle boom truck-mounted crane range. Visitors could walk around it and check the boom, hydraulics and base up close, which is usually what a buyer wants to see before asking about mounting on their own truck.
In the outdoor exhibition area stood the SQ10ZA5 10-ton knuckle boom truck-mounted crane, part of our SQ10Z series. The two cranes cover very different jobs, as the figures from their product pages show.
| BLZ90K4 | SQ10ZA5 | |
|---|---|---|
| Max. lifting capacity | 4,600 kg | 10,000 kg |
| Max. lifting moment | 9 t·m | 21 t·m |
| Crane weight | 1,600 kg | 3,550 kg |
| Slewing | 380° | 360° |
| Recommended power | 15 kW | 30 kW |
| Hydraulic flow / pressure | 25 L/min, 28 MPa | 40 L/min, 30 MPa |
| CE | BLZ90K series, 2006/42/EC | SQ10Z series, 2006/42/EC |
Both product pages list a CE certificate of conformity for the series under the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which mattered to the European buyers who came to the stand.
Who came to the booth and what they asked
Our sales team staffed both the crane and loader booths. Across those conversations the same questions kept coming up: build quality and welding, whether a crane can be adapted to local standards, how stable it is in daily work, delivery time, and how spare parts and after-sales support work once the crane is overseas.
European visitors focused most on local standards and market-entry requirements. One new buyer from Germany discussed having a crane built to German standards; that is an early-stage conversation, not an order. We are now preparing more detailed EU and German standards documents, so dealers can check compliance before the first order rather than after it.
A repeat order from Honduras
The clearest result of the week came from a customer we first met at the spring fair. In April 2026 a construction equipment buyer from Honduras ordered one 10-ton crane from us at the 139th Canton Fair. After several months of use they were satisfied with how it worked and with our service. They could not travel to Guangzhou this autumn, so they asked a partner to come to our booth on their behalf, and the partner confirmed an order for a second 10-ton crane at the stand.
For us, a second order from the same customer says more than any number of booth visits: the first crane had to prove itself on site before the second one was ordered.
See the cranes built in Xuzhou
Every crane at the fair was built at our factory in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. If you met us in Guangzhou and want to see production before you order, take the factory tour or read about customers who have visited us. You can also see what we check before shipment on our quality and testing page.
Following up after the fair
If we spoke at Booth 4.0F04, or you missed us this time, send us your load, working radius and truck details through the contact page. We will reply with a suitable model and its load chart. You can also browse the full crane range first.
One buyer we met at the booth, a solar business from Nigeria, came to our Xuzhou factory a few days later and paid a deposit after a three-hour visit. Read the story: From Canton Fair to Our Factory: A Nigerian Buyer’s 3-Hour Crane Visit.
Thank you to everyone who visited us at the 140th Canton Fair.
