XCMG XGT1350-64S walking tower crane has completed installation and commissioning, and will help the construction of the pumped storage power station project.

The project is a key project in the "13th Five-Year Plan for Hydropower Development (2016-2020)" of the country, with a total investment of nearly 10 billion yuan, an installed capacity of 1,400 megawatts, and an annual power generation of about 1.54 billion kilowatt-hours, which can be called a super-large "power bank".

The project requires the construction of the main buildings such as the upper reservoir, water transmission system, underground plant, ground switch station and lower reservoir. Among them, the 60-meter-high, 373-meter-long and 60-meter-wide sand dam is the main construction object of XGT1350-64S.

At the construction site, by laying 195 meters of walking tracks and matching more than 180 meters of cables, XCMG's XGT1350-64S walking tower crane can replace 5-6 fixed tower cranes, achieve full coverage of the dam sand barrier construction area, and significantly reduce construction costs.

As a customized tower crane product for the project, XCMG's XGT1350-64S walking tower crane has the characteristics of wide coverage, high safety factor, and strong hoisting performance.

● Wide coverage area: Compared with traditional fixed tower cranes, walking tower cranes can run on dedicated tracks, which can meet the site requirements of construction projects with large spatial spans. At the same time, they have independent control systems and are used in places such as hydropower stations and ports that require large-scale hoisting operations.

● High safety factor: Equipped with a safety monitoring system, hydraulic track clamps, anchor zippers, limit protection and interlocking devices, etc., to ensure the safety of equipment braking, it can withstand a maximum wind speed of 20m/s in the working state and a maximum wind speed of 55m/s in the non-working state, and can operate safely in severe weather.

● Strong lifting performance: Compared with the conventional XGT1350-64S tower crane, the lifting performance is not compromised, with a maximum lifting capacity of 64 tons and a lifting weight of up to 32 tons at an operating radius of 40 meters. The walking frame is made of high-strength steel material with strong bearing capacity, and the arm swing is less than 100mm. It runs smoothly, safely and reliably, meeting the lifting of large PC components.

In the face of the ever-changing market environment and personalized needs, XCMG will continue to accelerate the pace of product research and development, fully promote product technology innovation, launch more customer-satisfied tower cranes and construction elevator products, empower the construction of various major projects, and create greater value for customers.
