The 8 largest cranes in the world, which ones do you know?

A large-tonnage crane that can lift 3,000 cars at a time. Today, follow zillion to learn about the world's 8 largest crawler cranes.

TOP8 Liebherr LR11350

It is a crawler crane produced by Liebherr in Germany, with a maximum rated lifting capacity of 1,350 tons, a main boom of up to 150 meters, a truss jib of up to 114 meters, a total counterweight of up to 990 tons, and an engine output power of about 641 kilowatts. Its power is quite huge.

This model can also be customized according to customer needs. There is a space-customized version of Liebherr LR11350 at Musk's SpaceX launch base. It can easily successfully lift and assemble the "World's First Arrow" with a height of 118 meters and a weight of 1,320 tons. In addition, this model also has a variety of operating modes, including single-arm, double-arm, overweight and other modes, which can be applied to different engineering needs.

TOP7 Demag CC8800

It is a large crawler crane produced by Demag, Germany, with a maximum lifting capacity of 1,600 tons, a maximum main arm length of 165 meters, a maximum auxiliary arm length of 120 meters, a maximum lifting height of 170 meters, and is equipped with two MTU engines with a maximum power of 780 kilowatts.

If you have two CC8800s, you can combine them into a two-star CC8800TWIN2 double-arm crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 3,200 tons and a counterweight of 1,740 tons in the super-lift state. This model is widely used in working conditions such as erecting large bridges and hoisting wind turbines.

TOP6 Lampson LTL-3000

Lampson International Crane Company ranks fourth in the world. This super-large crawler crane is the largest crane manufactured by the company, with a maximum lifting capacity of 2,721 tons. The maximum lifting arm is 124 meters long and the maximum power is 1,610 kilowatts. It combines the heavy lifting capacity of hard-leg derricks and ring-shaped lifting equipment with the mobility of traditional crawler cranes. It adopts a unique imported design, which can move quickly while working and perform efficient lifting operations.

Its main feature is the use of a unique V-shaped outrigger system, which makes the entire crane extremely stable and balanced, and can operate under wind speeds of up to 20m/s.

TOP5 Liebherr LR13000

It was developed by Liebherr in Germany. The main arm of the whole machine is 120 meters long, the auxiliary arm is 126 meters long, and the maximum height can reach 248 meters, which is equivalent to 88 floors. The maximum lifting capacity is 3,000 tons. From a distance, it looks like a steel behemoth in Transformers. The first unit was launched at the end of 2010, mainly for the nuclear power, petrochemical and other lifting markets.

Its biggest advantage is the special slewing support carefully developed by Liebherr, which is so powerful that it can still achieve large-tonnage lifting without over-lifting counterweight. This special slewing support not only has super strong bearing capacity, but also has high slewing stability. Even at high altitude, it will not be unstable. Therefore, in the hoisting of some offshore steel structures, it has become the only choice for hoisting work of the same tonnage.

TOP4 Zoomlion ZCC3200NP

It is an ultra-large tonnage crawler crane independently developed and manufactured by China Zoomlion Heavy Industry, with more than 20 patented technologies. It is specially developed for the construction and hoisting of my country's third-generation nuclear power plant CAP1400. The maximum lifting capacity reaches 3,200 tons, the maximum lifting torque reaches 82,000 tons-meters, the main arm is 120 meters long, the auxiliary arm is 48 meters long, the maximum power is 1,690 kilowatts, and it can lift 1,600 tons at a height of 50 meters.

This model adopts the overall scheme of parallel double booms plus front and rear crawlers, breaking through the design concept of traditional crawler cranes, making a breakthrough in the overall stability and rollover resistance of the crane. At the same time, it also allows Zoomlion to stand at the forefront of the international crane industry and break the monopoly of foreign countries on 3,000-ton crawler cranes.

TOP3 Sany SCC40000A

It is a 4,000-ton super-large crawler crane manufactured by China's Sany Heavy Industry. It has a maximum lifting capacity of 4,000 tons and can lift 3,000 trolleys at a time. It adopts a four-crawler eight-drive mode. The herringbone double boom alone is 120 meters long, equivalent to a 40-story building. In addition to the super-lifting mast, counterweight, hook, etc., it covers an area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters, equivalent to the area of ​​10 basketball courts. The maximum lifting arm is 108 meters long and the maximum engine power is 2,400 kilowatts.

TOP2 XCMG XGC88000

It is a super-large crawler crane developed by China's XCMG Group. It was once known as the world's first crane. The longest arm of the whole machine can reach 216 meters, and the maximum lifting capacity is 4,000 tons, which is equivalent to lifting 3,000 cars at one time. The maximum rated lifting torque is 88,000 tons. XCMG 88000 is specially designed to meet the overall lifting needs of petrochemical, oil, nuclear power, chemical and other industries.

On April 10, 2021, he successfully completed the lifting of a heavy tower with a total weight of 2,600 tons, which is equivalent to lifting a 10-story building, and refreshed the engineering application record of the world's largest mobile crawler crane in one fell swoop. This behemoth is equipped with a Cummins QSK-23 engine with a maximum power of 1,923 kilowatts, and can move a weight of 4,000 tons at a speed of 370 meters per hour. There are only four of this crane in the world, and the price of each one is as high as two small goals. Such a powerful construction machinery can be said to be a great weapon and a national weight. Only 12 people in the world can operate this model, and the unit fee alone is as high as 800,000 yuan a day.

TOP1 Sany SCC98000TM

This model is known as the "lifting expert on crawlers". The ultra-large tonnage crawler crane independently developed by China's Sany Heavy Industry has a maximum lifting torque of more than 98,000 tons/m and a maximum lifting weight of 4,500 tons, which is equivalent to lifting 100 heavy fire trucks at a time. It also adopts a four-crawler eight-drive mode, with a double-arm opening length of 216 meters. With super-lifting masts, counterweight hooks and other equipment, the total area is nearly 4,200 square meters.

Its first independent power super-lifting counterweight system, digital slewing drive system and integrated control system, etc., the whole machine has stable operation and start-stop, and the control accuracy can reach the millimeter level. It has two working conditions: double-arm working condition and single-arm working condition, and can be directly disassembled into 2,000-ton class for use. With the successful first hoisting of this model, the influence of Chinese cranes in the world has been gradually confirmed, and the leading position of Chinese manufacturing in the world has been established.
