01
Thirteen Years of Unceasing Progress
From the Qilu Heartland to the Global Stage

The starting whistle from that spring day in 2013 still echoes in our ears; the SDLG "Global Top Driver" public welfare campaign has now spanned a full thirteen years.

Through thirteen years of deep industry engagement and a journey marked by warmth and camaraderie, the campaign—which began in Jinan, Shandong—has traversed the length and breadth of China. Its footprint extends from Lanzhou and Xi'an in the west to Kunming and Wuhan in the south, and as far north as Changchun, Tangshan, and Anshan. Covering 22 cities and hosting over 70 city-based training camps, the initiative has empowered more than 30,000 frontline operators to hone their skills, refine their expertise, and achieve professional growth and transformation.

Each on-the-ground event extends its reach across the province and into neighboring regions, connecting the hottest hubs of China’s construction machinery industry and serving as a core platform for thousands of professionals to exchange ideas and foster personal growth.

While deeply cultivating the domestic market, SDLG has never wavered in its passion or its original mission. In 2015, the "SDLG Good Driver" campaign expanded internationally, launching first in Thailand and subsequently extending to markets such as Kazakhstan. The spirit of public service and craftsmanship—rooted in China—has taken hold and continues to spread across the globe.

After thirteen years of development, the "SDLG Global Good Driver" campaign has evolved into a premier industry event spanning domestic and international markets, engaging tens of thousands of professionals, and establishing itself as a highly influential public service brand within the construction machinery sector.

02 A Brand-New Chapter for 2026
The Global "Top Operator" Campaign Launches Soon!

In 2026, the Lingong Global "Top Operator" campaign is set to launch in a big way! This event is more than just a competition; it is a dedicated celebration for everyone in the construction machinery industry.

This campaign focuses on the real-world needs of operators and aims to empower frontline professionals. On-site activities will feature systematic, professional hands-on training—covering everything from core equipment performance analysis and techniques for handling complex working conditions to standardized operating procedures and tips for high-efficiency operation. This comprehensive training is designed to hone operators' skills, ensuring every task is performed with precision, efficiency, and ease.

At the same time, the event offers a wealth of practical insights into equipment maintenance. Topics include key points for daily inspections, seasonal maintenance strategies, replacement cycles for wear parts, and early fault diagnosis. Through hands-on guidance, operators will learn how to reduce maintenance costs, extend equipment lifespan, and boost operational efficiency—ultimately enabling their machines to do more work with fewer breakdowns and higher output.

The highly anticipated, fun-filled practical skills challenge is back with a bang, delivering a spectacular blend of professional expertise and visual excitement. From excavators popping open beer bottles with precision and wheel loaders wielding brushes for calligraphy to mechanical booms steadily lowering loads into barrels—these seemingly impossible feats showcase the true prowess of elite operators. Each event pushes the limits of control precision and hand-eye coordination, allowing the hardcore skills and masterful techniques honed on the front lines to shine on stage and earn thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.

Beyond the thrilling skill-based competitions, the event featured a rich array of artistic performances, creating a lively, fun, and relaxed atmosphere. It was a day to leave behind the pressure of deadlines and the anxiety of workloads—free from performance assessments or the daily grind. Instead, it was a time for old friends to reunite, peers to exchange expertise, and everyone to unwind and fully immerse themselves in a celebration dedicated to the construction machinery community.
