XCMG\u2019s 4,000-ton Crawler Crane XGC88000 Marvels China\u2019s Offshore Wind Revolution<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Currently the most powerful and largest offshore wind unit globally, the 26-megawatt wind turbine has the longest rotor diameter and highest single-unit capacity. Comprised of over 30,000 components, its hub center stands at 185 meters\u2014equivalent to a 50-story building\u2014with a rotor sweep area of 77,000 square meters.<\/p>\n

The installation faced two major challenges: extreme precision and complex terrain. The engineers had to align over 200 bolts with millimeter-level accuracy at nearly 200 meters above ground, while also overcoming soft tidal flat foundations and cramped workspaces.<\/p>\n

To tackle the hurdles, the project team innovatively reinforced the foundation with advanced piling techniques and deployed XGC88000. With an integrated solution of ground pre-leveling and aerial precision coordination, the crane safely positioned the 1,000-ton nacelle into place.<\/p>\n

After installation, the turbine will undergo commissioning and grid integration. Once operational, a single unit is projected to generate 100 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually, which is enough to power 55,000 households for a year.<\/p>\n

Dubbed the “National Weight” by CCTV (China\u00a0Central\u00a0Television) and honored with the Second Prize for National Science & Technology Progress Award, the XGC88000 is a marvel of engineering. It boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 3,600 tons, a 216-meter-long boom, and a record-breaking lifting torque of 88,000 ton-meters.<\/p>\n

Since its debut in 2013, this crane has been instrumental in over 20 major projects across China<\/span> and in Belt and Road Initiative countries, including Jubail Industrial City in\u00a0Saudi Arabia\u00a0<\/b>and Duqm Refinery in\u00a0Oman<\/b>. With a cumulative total of 200,000 tons lifted, the legacy of the XGC88000 includes three world-first technologies, six internationally leading innovations, and more than 80 national patents, reflecting XCMG’s relentless pursuit of precision engineering and advanced R&D.<\/p>\n

XCMG is committed to advancing the construction of renewable energy infrastructure, as well as to pushing the boundaries of heavy machinery innovation and paving the way for a sustainable future.<\/p>\n
