Within 75 minute of the quake, SANY sent its first advance team to the area. SANY was the first non-governmental organisation to join relief efforts. SANY sent 17 truck cranes, 10 excavators and 20 vehicles to Lushan County. The excavators have been used to clear roadways buried by landslides. Truck cranes used to install prefabricated housing units for families whose homes were damaged by the quake.
