Recently, a special "scenic photo" from the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang has been quietly shared among XCMG customers. The photo shows a XCMG pure-electric straight boom aerial work platform, labeled "Cultural Relic Protection Work Platform," standing silently among the millennia-old Buddhist caves.  

Rewind to 2021: frequent heavy rains had inflicted significant damage on the Longmen Grottoes.  

The preservation of the grottoes was urgent! The "Maintenance and Restoration Project of the Lotus Cave to Shiniuxi Area at Longmen Grottoes" was promptly launched. In this race against time, the XCMG XGS25ACK-Li straight boom aerial work platform became a steadfast support for the restoration team, enabling them to work at height.  

Cultural relic restoration demands reverence in every millimeter. The ancient caves, with their varying depths and sizes, posed stringent requirements for equipment: it needed to be as precise and steady as "embroidery," while minimizing disturbance to the fragile environment.  

The XCMG pure-electric boom truck, with its exceptional controllability and ultimate stability, provided restoration workers with a rock-steady platform. Whether it was reinforcing unstable rock masses, restoring painted colors, or seamlessly embedding 3D-printed replicated components into the ancient niches, every millimeter-level precision move reflected the deep respect of modern industrial equipment for cultural heritage. Its pure-electric drive ensured a quiet operation, keeping the restoration process free from noise disruption and allowing the relics to rejuvenate in tranquility.  

Today, the restoration of the Longmen Grottoes has been successfully completed, but this XCMG boom truck has not left.  

It has transitioned from a "restoration pioneer" to a "daily guardian," continuing its stay at the Longmen cliffs. It lifts inspectors for regular assessments of the caves, assists in clearing historical dust, and even helps remove weeds that threaten the stability of the rock masses. With its durable and reliable service, XCMG equipment integrates protection into the serene daily life of the Longmen Grottoes.
