The Orange Line metro in Lahore, part of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor, has opened. Thirty-two cranes of various types built by Henan Mine Crane are all used for operation and maintenance, helping Pakistan enter the "metro era".

▲Project site

The Lahore Orange Line is the first large rail transit project signed and implemented under the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor of the Belt and Road Initiative, built entirely to Chinese standards, technology and equipment, with a 27 km main line and 26 stations. The cranes supplied for the depot and parking area are mainly used for inspection, repair and commissioning of trains, playing a key role in operation and maintenance.
Pakistan, a good partner and brother of China, is one of the South Asian countries Henan Mine Crane has entered. The company has taken part in several national projects there, contributing to Pakistan's infrastructure.

Among them is the 50 MW (2×25 MW) coal-fired power plant — Pakistan's first coal-fired generating unit project — in the Salt Range area of Punjab, funded by the Pakistani government and built with two 25 MW units.

For Fareed Engineering Works in Pakistan we designed and built several 40 t double girder overhead cranes.
