XCMG XCA5000 is the world’s largest all-terrain crane in terms of tonnage. Recently, it succeeded in hoisting a 2MW wind turbine in Yunnan province, China.

The XCA5000 is the first 2,000-ton all-terrain crane applied in construction around the world.

The hoisting site was on the top of a mountain over 3,000m above sea level and covering an area of only 600m2.

The crane was driven for five days across seven provinces to arrive at the worksite. Despite strong winds, the XCA5000 successfully fitted the 22m-high and 68-ton tower bottom on its base, and precisely hoisted the 2nd and 3rd sections.
