QY25K5D_3 Plug-in Hybrid Truck Crane

Recently, at the EO/EG unit site of the Gulei Refining and Petrochemical Integration Project, XCMG's 4,000-tonne-class crawler crane XGC88000 hoisted the upper section of the world's largest kilotonne-class EO/EG washing tower high into the air. At a height of 50 meters, the upper and lower tower sections were perfectly aligned and welded together, and the 'World's No.1 Crane' once again added a new chapter to hoisting legend.

Fully upgraded difficulty factor: the 'pillar of a great nation' does not fear challenges

It is reported that this washing tower is one of the core pieces of equipment of the EOEG (ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol) unit, with a diameter of about 9 meters, a total height of 102 meters, and a total weight of about 2,000 tonnes. Both its extra-large diameter and its extra-heavy tonnage rank first among washing towers of the same process in the world today. Standing such a 'big guy' upright is indeed no easy task. Because hoisting the entire tower is extremely difficult, the tower body was divided into upper and lower sections at the factory, and assembly was completed at the project site by hoisting the lower section into place and then aligning and welding the upper section in mid-air.
