The invention of XGC88000 successfully overcomes the technical difficulties (double link jib, transfer with heavy load and dual-crane teamwork) which remain unsolved for a long time both at home and abroad. It is the first of its kind to be able to transform for a dual purpose. Through the combination of components, it can be transformed into a 2,000-ton crawler crane. This feature improves the utilization rate of the entire machine and maximizes the benefits for its users.
In the field of energy projects, XCMG super cranes have created a new process for lifting super-large structural parts, for which they set a new world record in the efficiency and economy of super-large integrated hoisting operation. More world records are made by XCMG super cranes in this field: The 4,000-ton crawler crane and the 1,100-ton tailing machine have cooperated and performed over 60 lifting operations totaling 1,500 tons in Shandong, Fujian and Ningxia, and their total hoisting weight was more than 30,000 tons, creating a new world record in engineering application of a single mobile crane that lifted 2,300 tons at a time.
As the Foreign Policy, an American journal, puts it, “Xuzhou is the base of XCMG headquarters and witnesses the production of the world’s largest crawler crane with a lifting capacity of 4,000 tons, equivalent to 60 M1 Abrams main battle tanks.”
