On the morning of July 22, the isobutane removal tower of the light hydrocarbon recovery unit was successfully installed with the assistance of a 4,000-ton crawler crane and a 650-ton crawler crane. This was the final lift by the 4,000-ton crawler crane for the Zhongke project, marking a phased success in the heavy-lift operations associated with this project
Since its arrival last November, only two such units have been available in China. The world’s largest crawler cranes, with a lifting capacity of 4,000 tons, have been used at steam cracking units, coal-to-hydrogen plants, and light hydrocarbon recovery facilities, and have been employed to lift a total of 8 ultra-large and extremely heavy equipment units. The hoisting of the tallest tower in the CAS project was completed successfully
Stand up! China National Chemical Refining’s ‘biggest’ tower: On the morning of January 15, the 111-meter-long, 6.92-meter-diameter, and over 1,430-ton heavy ‘giant’ equipment – Column 2 of the cracking unit – was lifted into place.
The lights came on in the ethylene tower. On March 15, the quench oil tower of Sinochem Refining & Chemicals’ largest tower – the 800,000-ton/year ethylene steam cracking unit – was successfully lifted and installed in place
The pictures on the 2nd floor show ordinary cranes, which are like ants in comparison to the XGC88000.
I thought it was a large tower weighing 4,000 tons.
XCMG itself doesn’t dare to call the XG8800 the “world’s best crane”.
What do you compare that big one to? The ordinary ones are ants
XCMG claims it is the world’s largest crawler crane of its class.
