The job signifies that XCMG has made a new record in transporting and hoisting of large tonne cranes. And this amazing work relies on high-performance, stability and reliability of the crawler crane.
XCMG’s XGC88000, a 4000-ton crawler crane known as “World’s No.1 Crawler Crane”, which has been placed the first order by Sinopec, has successfully completed the overload test with 4500 ton, making a hoisting record in the world. XCMG did a solid work in R&D and manufacturing the 4000-ton crawler crane since the project settled in June, 2010. Signed joint development agreement with Sinopec during BAUMA China 2010 in Shanghai, held seven rounds of talks with Sinopec on product plan, the design finally get approved by leading experts from five industries. April,2012, the government brought this project into “National 863 Project”. Sinopec sent a supervision team to XCMG factory after officially signing the contract by both parties. The project moved into the assembly and testing step after all parts got ready in July, 2012.
We believe that after the 4000 tonne crawler crane be built and put into use, XCMG thousand-tonne crawler crane families will surely run among different construction sites for big projects around China, even around the world, and contribute XCMG power to the world top engineering constructions continuously.
