The Indian crane and earthmoving equipment industry developed in tandem with the country's post-independence push for industrialisation, public sector projects, and infrastructure expansion. Companies operating in this sector typically supply mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes and related lifting solutions used in construction, ports, steel plants, power projects and railways. Tractors India belongs to this category of long-established Indian engineering firms catering to project and industrial customers.
Activities
As a crane manufacturer, the company's areas of work generally include:
- Design and manufacture of cranes for construction and industrial use.
- Supply of material handling and lifting equipment.
- After-sales support, spares and servicing for installed equipment.
Significance
Indian-origin crane manufacturers have played a significant role in reducing dependence on imported lifting equipment, particularly for projects in the public sector and core industries. As one of the older entrants in this field, Tractors India is part of the early generation of domestic manufacturers that helped establish indigenous capability in heavy lifting machinery.
