According to Lu Zhaobao, an on-spot service engineer of XCMG, the operation site features difficult conditions and narrow space, and even in some places there was no smooth road.
As a result, it was impossible for the crane to unfold its outrigger normally, and operators had no choice but to put some sole timbers under the crane, as a way to maintain the crane’s stability and balance.
In such a touch circumstance, XCMG crane, on the strength of its excellent driving and hoisting performances, hoisted nearly 20 telegraph poles in place one by one, assisted China Southern Power Grid in completing the urgent repair to electric circuit, and fulfilled its hoisting mission excellently, efficiently, and safely.
That helped ensure the masses’ basic living electricity consumption in the disaster-stricken area.In light of the Command’s requirements about road clearing, XCMG cranes were withdrawn from the disaster-stricken area overnight.
Meanwhile, the crane helped unload disaster relief materials from two vehicles, as well as transferred by motorcycles on the mountain road. On the road leading to the Longtoushan Township of Ludian County,
Yunnan Province, disaster relief materials urgently demanded by earthquake-stricken people of the epicenter were stockpiled on one side, and the path for small vehicles was delimited on the other side.
Lots of volunteers rode the motorcycle to shuttle between Ludian and Longtoushan Township so as to transport materials or pick up rescue workers. Along the muddy mountain roads,
Volunteers and rescue workers had no choice but to follow previous traces to push forwards the motorcycle at a slow pace. Against this backdrop,
XCMG 12t crane capitalized on its long boom to hoist motorcycles one by one and transferred them to the road section ahead while spanning over the muddy section.
That helped rescue workers and volunteers save the rescue time.XCMG crane’s excellence in completing the mission designated by the Command received unanimous recognition from armed police force and the on-spot masses.
According to local command, XCMG crane is the first crane truck that was used in the disaster-stricken area’s rescue work since outbreak of the earthquake.
