Recently, during a critical maintenance operation at a wind farm project in Morocco, three ultra-large-tonnage cranes from Zoomlion—800-ton crawler crane, 1250-ton crawler crane, and 900-ton all-terrain crane—formed a "trinity" and successfully completed the core component maintenance tasks of wind turbines with zero failures and high safety, receiving high praise from the project party.
The participating crawler cranes of 800-ton and 1250-ton models are ZCC9800W and ZCC17000, and the 900-ton all-terrain crane is ZAT9000V863G. These Zoomlion's cranes were delivered to Morocco from China successively last year and this year. With their arrival, the local records for the largest-tonnage crawler crane and all-terrain crane have been continuously refreshed. The joint construction of these three record-breaking equipment demonstrates the robust strength of Chinese high-end equipment.
During the operation, the three ultra-large-tonnage cranes from Zoomlion demonstrated efficient and precise collaborative capabilities. The ZCC17000 crawler crane was responsible for the integrated hoisting of the transmission system and hub, the ZCC9800W crawler crane undertook the auxiliary hoisting tasks of transmission system components throughout the process, and the ZAT9000V863G all-terrain crane, with its excellent mobility and precise control, collaborated to complete the comprehensive maintenance tasks of the 2.3 MW wind turbine.
It is worth noting that, in response to the special working conditions of North Africa, such as dry and windy climate and complex terrain, these equipment have been specially optimized, including customized anti-wind load structures, high-temperature adaptive configurations, and dedicated crawler systems, effectively overcoming various challenges and increasing the overall operational efficiency by 15%, significantly reducing the downtime of the wind farm.
The on-site project manager said: "The professional adaptability and intelligent performance of Chinese equipment have exceeded expectations, setting a new standard for the maintenance and inspection of large wind turbines."
