As one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia, the Philippines has seen rapid growth in infrastructure development, manufacturing and mining in recent years, driving demand for industrial lifting equipment. The continued promotion of the government’s large-scale infrastructure programmes and the entry of foreign-funded enterprises have driven the strong demand for overhead cranes and other industrial equipment in the Philippine market. At the same time, the Philippines’ local lifting equipment manufacturing industry is not yet mature, the number of suppliers is limited, the production capacity is concentrated in the manufacture of light equipment, and it is difficult to meet the market demand for large, high-performance cranes. Therefore, the Philippine overhead cranes mainly rely on imports, especially crane products from China, with its cost-effective, mature technology and perfect after-sales service in the Philippine market occupying a dominant position.
Yong Li Tian Che Corp. is a prominent overhead crane supplier based in the Philippines, specializing in the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of high-quality overhead crane systems. Established in 2015, the company has completed over 50 overhead crane projects, supported by a team of more than 15 skilled crane technicians.
Core Advantage:
According to the Customs Platform 2024 data, total imports of overhead cranes in the Philippines amounted to 1,943 units. China holds the top spot with a 67.6% share (1,846 units), followed by Vietnam (28.44%) and Japan (1.4%). The limitations of the Philippines’ local manufacturing sector (only a few small manufacturers, with production capacity concentrated in light equipment) contrast with the fast-growing demand for infrastructure and mining, contributing to a persistent import dependency rate above 95 per cent.
Customs data shows that China is the top supplier of overhead cranes to the Philippines. Chinese crane manufacturers have managed to capture the largest share of the Philippine import market with their price advantage, proven technology and customised services. Since 2020, the value of Philippine imports of Chinese cranes has increased for five consecutive years.

Specific parameters:
Grab are usually used with various cranes to lift things. There are generally hydraulic grabs and mechanical grabs. According to the different uses, the grabs are different.
Basic Parameters:
The high dependence on imports in the Philippine bridge crane market has allowed Chinese suppliers to take a commanding lead in it. Leveraging on price advantage, technological advancement and quality service, Chinese brands such as Weihua, Newklen, Tai Heavy, Dafang and Kuangshan Crane have excelled in the Philippine market, catering to the needs of different industries. Meanwhile, Japanese, Vietnamese, European and American brands have also taken a share of the market, but are still unable to match Chinese suppliers in terms of cost and market penetration.
In the future, the bridge crane market will still maintain growth with the further industrialisation of the Philippines. Chinese suppliers are expected to continue to deepen their presence in the Philippine market, providing local enterprises with more advanced and economical lifting equipment solutions. For Philippine enterprises, choosing the right bridge crane supplier can not only improve production efficiency, but also effectively reduce operating costs and promote the long-term stable development of business.
