The second unit of XGT15000-600S, has been delivered to the Changtai Yangtze River Bridge to complete a series of steel tower lifting and installation tasks, including lifting a maximum weight of 300 tons to a height of 300 meters.
XUZHOU, China: XCMG Machinery shipped the second unit of XGT15000-600S, the world's top tower crane jointly created by XCMG and China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd. (MBEC), from its intelligent manufacturing base of Xuzhou in China. It will be used in the Changtai Yangtze River Bridge setup project, the world's largest diamond-type suspension bridge, according to a press release.
The crane is a super-large tower crane framed and customized to suit large-scale bridge construction projects. The first unit, which officially rolled off the assembly line in June, was sent to the Yangtze River Bridge in Ma'anshan Chao-Ma Railway Bridge Project (including railway and highway).
As a breakthrough in the development of bridge construction equipment and a key milestone for the tower crane industry, the XGT15000-600S not only demonstrated its industry-leading strength of intelligent manufacturing and XCMG brand influence, but also set a new benchmark of industry cooperation for super-engineering sites.
"XCMG's tower cranes have overcome major technical bottlenecks in the world, and now we are offering tower cranes of more than 1,000 tons in batches that are widely used in the construction of bridges, power plants, stadiums, and skyscrapers," Yuan said. Shaozhen, general manager of XCMG Tower Cranes.
Developed on XCMG's S series tower crane technology platform, the XGT15000-600S has a rated lifting moment of 15,000 metric tons, a maximum lifting weight of 600 tons, and a maximum lifting height of more than 400 meters. . The super tower crane incorporates more than 60 core technological breakthroughs, has achieved 10 world firsts and set 10 world remarks.
It adopts the combined design of flat top main tower, jib auxiliary tower and manned hoist, and offers fundamental advantages such as high safety level, intelligent technology, strong functionality, high quality and precise modules to offer a excellent performance. Also reaches level 12 typhoon resistance in non-operational state.
"XCMG will continue to promote independent R&D and address core technologies to provide more pioneering large-scale tower crane products that meet the growing demand of large-scale construction projects," said Mi Chenghong, deputy general manager of XCMG Tower Crane.
