U.S. crane-maker Terex Corp.’s talks with a Chinese suitor broke down after disagreement on terms, clearing the way for its planned $1.3 billion sale of a ports lifting-gear business to competitor Konecranes Oyj.

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co. decided it wouldn’t be able to agree on a price for Terex’s business once the lifting-gear unit was excluded, the Chinese company said in a statement Friday.
