As a crucial pillar industry for wind power development,

The field of wind power installation has never been short of innovation and breakthroughs.

After the launch of all-terrain cranes led by XCA1600

And the crawler cranes led by XGC12000,

Recently, XCMG introduced its XGL1800 Luffing Tower Crane for Wind Power Installation

With the largest lifting capacity in China.

Thanks to many years of layout and in-depth research in the field of wind power,

XCMG has its hoisting machinery fully covered all situations in wind power installation.

With the rapid development of wind power industry, the generating unit of wind power at home and abroad is evolving towards bigger impellers and higher towers. The installation height of wind turbines is getting increasingly higher, reaching 160m. Right now, the wind power industry is faced with a series of problems such as lack of equipment for super-high wind power installation, difficulty in maintenance of wind turbines over 100 meters, and high installation cost, etc.

By combining with the trends of wind power industry, XCMG has carried out in-depth researches to tackle the difficulties in installing wind turbines of 160m and above. After two years of study, XGL1800 Luffing Tower Crane for Wind Power Installation was created based on current luffing technology.

This product fully covers the installation of wind turbines of 5MW and below, integrates efficient installation, convenient dismantling, fast transition, and lower cost, and is capable of the installation and maintenance of winder turbines with super-high impellers of 160m and above, being the most comprehensive wind power installation equipment on the market right now.

XCMG XGL1800 Luffing Tower Crane for Wind Power Installation fully integrates the design concepts of minimizing installation site occupation, maximizing cost performance and optimizing comprehensive performance, realizing major breakthroughs in overall performance, site adaptability and convenience of installation and dismantling.

01. A new record in hoisting machinery for wind power installation

XCMG XGL1800 Luffing Tower Crane for Wind Power Installation exceeds 170m in independent hoisting height, reaches 138t in maximum hoisting height and exceeds 1800t/m in maximum overall load moment.

The product adopts the luffing compensation technology and realizes heavy load lifting, the amount of variation changing with action, and stable and unbiased moving. The three mechanisms for linkage control, together with the millimeter-level low speed control technology for any single action, realizes more precise positioning, freer driving control, and easier hoisting. With a ultra-high efficiency in transition, installation and dismantling, the product is able to reach the highest independent height within 24 hours and be fully dismantled within 18 hours.

02. Full coverage in construction fields

With the launch of XGL1800, the obstacles restricting the further development of the wind power industry, such as the high installation height of wind turbines, high equipment costs, difficult site coordination and high costs, will no longer exist.

Furthermore, XCMG XGL1800 Luffing Tower Crane for Wind Power Installation can also be applied in construction fields like extra large bridges, ports, water conservancy and hydropower facilities, super high-rises and extra large steel structures.

In the future, XCMG will continue to carry out R&D on tower crane products in large tonnage with high technical content, high added value and high reliability, constantly enhance research efforts in core technologies, and practice the quality development concepts of “high quality, high efficiency, high profit and sustainable” to improve user value and enterprise value.
