May 09, 2013
On April 1st, XGC28000 crawler crane entered into Quanzhou refining base of Sinopec again. The equipments to be lifted was hydrocracking reactor. The net weight of the equipment reaches 1240.2 tons and the total weight reaches 1340 tons by adding the weight of slings.
XCMG 2000 t crawler crane performed extraordinarily well in the operation of 12 million oil refinery project carried out in Wuhan, Hubei, Maoming, Guangdong, and Quanzhou, Fujian and in the operation of annual 500 thousand tons of Methanol to Olefins project in Ningxia. Due to the extraordinary performance, XCMG 2000t is highly recognized by the construction party. In this lifting, XCMG XGC 28000 Crawler Crane continued to act as the main force of lifting. After repeated discussions, surveys and demonstration by many engineers, the lifting method of dual-crane lifting and transfer was adopted. XCMG 2000t Crawler Crane adopted such working condition as 60m heavy-duty boom, 340t turntable counterweights+111t crane body conterweights+640t superlift counterweights, 30m superlift counterweight radius and 14m lifting radius to carry out the lifting. The maximum rated lifting weight under this working condition is 1577t. That means the lifting load rate of this time is as high as 84.8%; Manitowoc M21000 (1000t grade) Crawler Crane provide assistance in tail lifting to help complete the lifting.
The successful completion of this lifting has broken the record held by XGC28000 Crawler Crane in lifting 958tons in Maoming, Guangdong. The successful lifting will definitely set another brand new record in history.
