In the lifting industry, one type of operation truly tests operators’ nerves: high‑altitude lifting, long‑span outreach, and invisible landing points.
Recently, the nationally launched XCA350G8‑1 (Premium Edition) made its real‑world debut.
The task sounds straightforward: hoist air conditioner accessories weighing over two tons onto the roof of a high-rise building.
Yet what really makes peers hold their breath is the harsh working conditions: the main boom fully extended with a working radius of 50 meters, and the target landing spot being an equipment opening hidden in a blind spot on the building roof.
Faced with this typical challenge of high-altitude precise positioning, the operator inside the cab has zero visibility, relying entirely on on-site commands and keen perception of equipment movements.
The core technology of G2 generation — hook anti-swing function becomes the key to solving the problem at this moment.
Seasoned crane operators on site spoke from experience: “When the boom is fully extended all the way out, the landing spot is completely out of sight. But this hook anti-swing function can precisely lower the goods right into the opening with excellent stability.”
The system actively suppresses inertial swing to stabilize the hook at height, greatly reducing positioning deviations and safety hazards caused by swinging during blind hoisting operations. It turns operators’ anxiety over blind zones into full confidence.
Besides, another core advantage of the XCA350G8-1 (Premium Edition) was fully demonstrated in the maiden hoist: its coverage capacity with an ultra-long 92-meter main boom.
Computer simulation shows the project requires a boom length of 91.8 meters. The fully extended 92-meter main boom of XCA350G8-1 (Premium Edition) fully meets the demand with no need for jib assembly throughout the operation, simplifying working procedures and cutting auxiliary time.
The optimized experience of the G2 generation is also well recognized. Spacious cab seats and smooth gear shifting feel are great. In the automatic throttle mode, the joystick synchronously adjusts the throttle output, saving fuel and labor, enabling operators to stay composed even during high-intensity operations.
As high-altitude hoisting evolves from merely reaching targets to placing loads steadily, every precise positioning serves as the best proof of construction site safety and operational efficiency.
The sense of security brought by G2 generation is exactly the solid strength that works invisibly yet ensures steady performance.
