- 4,000-ton XGC88000 Crawler Crane Lifts the Largest EO/EG Wash Tower in the 
World 
- 2,000-ton XGC28000 Hoisted Asia's Largest Single-caliber, Fully Mobile Antenn

XGC88000, the 4,000-ton crawler crane of XCMG (SHE: 000425), has set a new 
world record as it completed a 2,000-ton EO/EG washing tower hoisting operation 
for the Gulei Refining and Chemical Integration Project recently in Zhangzhou, 
Fujian Province. 

The 2,000-ton EO/EG washing tower has a diameter of 9 meters and total height 
of 102 meters, the specifications of which are the largest in the world. The 
XGC88000 welded two parts of the tower body seamlessly at a height of 50 meters 
(164 feet).

The docking and installation of the upper half of the tower require extremely 
high levels of precision, and XGC88000 was able to finely adjust the position 
and minimize the fluctuation to ensure the vertical deviation of the two 
sections was less than 20 millimeters. 

The XGC88000 made its overseas debut of hoisting a 1,926-ton washing tower last 
year in Saudi Arabia and went on to complete a hoisting operation of 15 parts 
for Duqm Oil Refinery project of Oman Oil in Oman.

"XCMG is always in pursuit of reaching the higher and stronger goals, the 
XGC88000 has worked on a dozen of major petrochemical projects overseas and set 
new records one after another. The landmark achievements will further expand 
XCMG's presence in the international market and inspire our company to continue 
to strive for excellence," said Wang Min, Chairman of XCMG.

On April 25, XCMG's 2,000-ton crawler crane XGC28000 successfully hoisted the 
main reflection surface for the 70-meter high-performance receiving antenna 
constructed by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy 
of Sciences (NAOC), a key equipment to receive data coming from missions on 
Mars. The project will be Asia's largest single-caliber, fully mobile antenna.

Meanwhile, XCMG's V7 mixers recently participated in the Shenzhen-Zhongshan 
Bridge construction, another significant infrastructure project that's setting 
eight world records including the world's largest and widest two-way eight-lane 
tunnel.

Furthermore, five XCP330HG (7525-18) and two XGT8020-12 tower cranes that have 
been working on the construction of Wenzhou-Xintian-Yangtze River Bridge, 
witnessing the capping of the super bridge, which is the largest two-tower 
single-span steel box girder suspension bridge in the Three Gorges Reservoir.
