On December 18th 2014 a building collapsed in the suburbs of the Kenyan capital Nairobi. There was a shortage of heavy machinery to conduct emergency operations and XCMG, the chinese heavy construction equipment manufacturer, provided heavy equipment support. This support included both manpower and a heavy truck-crane capable of lifting 50 ton concrete slabs.
