YINGKOU, China, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The XCA3000, the world's largest tonnage wheel crane and a patented innovation of new benchmark in operational efficiency and lifting capacity.

At Dashiqiao Xintai New Energy's 200MW wind power facility, managed by China Energy Engineering Group Northeast No.2 Electric Power Construction, the XCMG of 107 meters. It was then precisely coupled to the wind turbine hub and installed in place. The operation was observed by executives from the energy and heavy lifting sectors, as well as journalists.

With the use of the most exclusive crane in the world, designed specifically for lifting wind turbines, operational efficiency has more than doubled. A wind turbine nacelle, weighing 135 tonnes and producing 5 MW, can now be installed within 30 minutes.

The XCMG XCA3000 wheel crane has a lifting capacity of 3,000 tonnes, making it ideal for the installation of wind turbines up to 10 MW. At a height of 160 meters, it can lift 190 tonnes, setting a new record for highest and heaviest lifting capacity among wheeled cranes.

Global wind energy equipment manufacturing is evolving toward larger, heavier, and larger models. Consequently, lifting and installation equipment with greater lifting capacities, higher lift heights, more efficient handling of heavy loads, and improved safety technology have become critical elements for the rapid advancement of the wind energy industry.

XCMG has independently researched and developed wheeled cranes capable of lifting more than a thousand tons, and has now successfully managed to replace imports with these models.

The XCA3000 has introduced further improvements to high-performance flexible boom technology, addressing issues such as reduced lift performance at high altitudes and limited space under the turbine lift hooks. The improvement achieves a 20-30% reduction in the time needed to install a wind turbine.

Additionally, the crane's ability to carry heavy components, such as the main boom and legs, weighing up to 317 tonnes, along with its 20% tilt capability, increases its efficiency in transferring heavy loads.
