In a recent operation at a 200 MW wind farm in Jing County, Hengshui, China, the XCA4000 crane, delivered by XCMG Machinery, successfully completed its first lift. The crane lifted a series of components, including a 130 ton wind turbine nacelle, a 40 ton wheel hub and three 95-meter-long blades weighing 28 tons each, to a height of 162 meters for assembly on the tower.
With the capability to hoist 230 tons at a height of 162 meters, the XCA4000 sets a new benchmark for the highest and heaviest lifting capacity among wheeled cranes. The XCA4000 wheeled crane boasts an unprecedented 4,000 ton lifting capacity, making it the ideal solution for the installation of wind turbines exceeding 10MW. Its advanced features include high-performance flexible boom technology, which enables a 20-30% reduction in the time required to install a wind turbine. In addition, the XCA4000 is equipped with a self-developed control system and active safety technology with more than a dozen sensors distributed on the boom, enabling it to detect and eliminate potential safety hazards in real-time.
