BQ-Tadano is a joint venture between Beijing Jingcheng Heavy Industry and Tadano, of Japan. BQ is an abbreviation of Chinese pronunciation for Bei Qi, representing Beijing Crane, a company that was merged into the current Jingcheng Heavy Industry (JCHI) through the restructuring of the state-owned enterprise. Jingcheng stands for Beijing City.

This profile presents the different aspects of the joint venture, which was formed in 2003.
