LIANYUNGANG, China, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

XGC88000, the world's largest crawler crane developed by XCMG (SHE:000425) with

a record-breaking capacity of 4,000 tons, has once again set a new hoisting

record on April 10 at the Shenghong refinery project construction site in

Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province as it successfully completed the installation of

2,600 tons of tower equipment.

The world's No.1 crawler crane, with CE Mark approved, has three

internationally pioneering technologies, six world-leading technologies and

more than 80 national patents. The XGC88000 was a major breakthrough in the

industry and the first model to realize modular design for agile construction,

helping China to overcome the long-term monopoly of foreign brands in the

sector of super tonnage cranes.

Since the XGC88000 came onto the market in 2013, it has taken lead roles in

major construction projects worldwide delivering superb achievements. It set

the largest hoisting record of 2,155 tons in 2013 after hoisting and installing

a Fischer–Tropsch process reactor, and the latest 2,600-ton lifting weight not

only broke the model's own record since its market release, but also set a new

engineering-applied record for the world's largest mobile crawler crane.

The XGC88000 crawler cranes have participated in 26 major construction projects

in China and abroad, including the Hengli project in Dalian, Shenghong refinery

in Lianyungang, Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia and Duqm Oil Refinery in

Oman. The model has lifted and installed more than 100 units of equipment over

1,000 tonnage, with the total lifting weight reaching 200,000 tons and a total

safe operation time of nearly 10,000 hours.

"The XGC88000 has truly become the industry's first 4,000-tonnage crawler crane

that has been put into operation with the broadest application, most mature

technologies and highest sales. It's a pinnacle product developed with

independent innovation and is considered a proud calling card for China's

equipment manufacturing industries," said Wang Min, Chairman and CEO of XCMG.

On April 17, the XGC88000 will join hands with a 5,000-ton gantry crane to lift

Asia's largest pressure vessel manufacturer's tower with a maximum

transportation weight in Guangdong Province.
