On the construction site of an ultra-high voltage transmission tower, a massive steel tower is rising into the sky. This is not only a 1,000-kilovolt power artery but also a true test of the extreme performance of lifting equipment.
Facing challenges such as rugged mountain roads and high-altitude operations, the XCT300G8-1, with its outstanding performance, has become an undisputed “anchor in the storm.”
Extreme conditions: The dual challenge of a 3-meter narrow road and working at a height of nearly 100 meters
This construction project involves the building of an ultra-high voltage transmission tower. For the XCT300G8-1, responsible for lifting the high-altitude components, two major challenges lie ahead:
Difficult access: The mountain roads are rugged and narrow, with a width of only about 3 meters, combined with steep slopes.
Difficult lifting: High-altitude lifting requires precise alignment of tower components. The heaviest component weighs approximately 7 tons. The two “small wings” installed at the very end each weigh about 5 tons and are 6 meters long, requiring smooth lifting and accurate positioning at a height of 91 meters.
At heights of nearly 100 meters, wind conditions are highly variable, and long, bulky components are prone to swinging. This places stringent demands on the crane’s micro-motion capability, slewing smoothness, and wind resistance and anti-sway performance.
Countering Challenges with Expertise: All-Round Capability Tackles the Dual Test
Faced with such demanding conditions, this G2-generation crane demonstrated remarkable adaptability.
First, it can “move.” On rugged mountain roads just 3 meters wide, the XCT300G8-1 maneuvers through tight sections with ease, thanks to its precise drive steering and solid chassis tuning. The lower body supports multiple driving modes that can be switched at will: the power mode is available for steep slopes, delivering strong climbing performance with little effort; the off-road mode can be activated with one touch on muddy or uneven terrain; in addition, a creep mode is also available, allowing short-distance repositioning or low-speed fine-tuning to be handled calmly.
Second, it can “lift high and stay stable.” The XCT300G8-1’s eight-section, 90-meter main boom and maximum boom length of 117.5 meters are the keys to success. In most tower construction scenarios, the main boom alone is sufficient to reach the required height, eliminating the need for frequent attachment and detachment of the jib, saving significant time. The crane is equipped with dual-slewing technology, providing excellent control smoothness and ensuring precise positioning at heights of nearly 100 meters.
Finally, it allows for “fast relocation.” The crane can travel with 31 tons of counterweight and a 17.5-meter jib for heavy-duty relocation, greatly improving transfer efficiency and reducing transport costs on flatbed trucks, effectively “running with profit.”
