Zoomlion ZAT18000H

On April 16, 2021, Zoomlion’s crane ZAT18000H won the TOP50 Golden Finger Award, the highest award the “2021 China Construction Machinery Annual Product TOP50 Award Ceremony” hosted by the “Construction Machinery and Maintenance” magazine was successfully held in the cloud live broadcast, under the guidance of the National Construction Machinery Quality Supervision and Inspection Center.

“Zoomlion’s ZAT18000H all-terrain crane is the world’s largest all-terrain crane, which meets the requirements and successfully completes the installation of 140m wind turbines. The maximum lifting height of the wind power boom configuration reaches 155m, breaking through the limit of the jib working condition and filling the industry gap

This solves the industry problem of box-type telescopic boom + truss wind power jib and ultra-long boom deflection; overcome the lightweight and chassis drive capability technology based on the ultimate load-bearing capacity of the 9-axles chassis, large load, high-height manipulation, micro-movement, and manipulation safety Control and other key core technologies.

Going on the market in October 2020, Zoomlion’s ZAT18000H has been active in major construction projects in the domestic market.

This includes the challenging wind turbine installation in Xinzhou, Shanxi, at an altitude of 1450 meters and minus 27 degrees cold weather.

Another was the Xinglong 48.4MW wind farm in Bengbu, Guzhen, Anhui, the short-arm unloading conditions of the equipment and the long-arm hoisting conditions are efficiently coordinated, and the lifting is efficient.

In all major construction projects across the country, Zoomlion ZAT18000H has been highly recognized by construction parties and users with its strong capabilities and high efficiency.

Advantages of ZAT18000H

1. Wide coverage of wind power working conditions: main boom + jib can meet the installation of 140 meters high wind turbine.

2. High construction efficiency, energy-saving and environmental protection: no need to use tower boom, efficient assembly, can be used for super-lifting transition with the main boom; high-power winch system, 140m high fan hoisting and lifting the fastest 20 minutes; short boom unloading and long boom The hoisting working condition is matched with the boom section, and there is no unnecessary expansion and contraction when the working condition is switched.

3. Strong site adaptability: 9-axles reinforced all-terrain vehicle bridge and transmission, strong carrying capacity; 6+2 bridge drive, maximum gradeability of 58%, heavy-duty gradeability of 24%; high-speed, urban, and heavy-duty driving The mode is optional; the combination of longer main boom + shorter jib, small assembly site requirements.

4. Safe and reliable: redundant boom design and optimized matching, the boom is safe and reliable; single-cylinder double-side pin, equal rope length super lift, eccentric A-frame super lift connection device, boom system wind resistance; double oil Road winch, reliable work.

Technical Specifications

• Maximum Lifting Capacity: 1800 tons, which showcases its formidable strength in heavy lifting operations, suitable for large-scale construction and industrial projects.
• Maximum Load Moment: With a maximum load moment of the basic boom at 3600 t·m and the fully extended main boom at 2597 t·m, the crane is designed to handle immense weights with stability and precision.
• Lifting Height: The crane achieves a remarkable maximum lifting height with the basic boom at 19.2 meters, while with the main boom fully extended, it reaches up to 92.8 meters, allowing it to operate in a variety of construction environments and heights.
• Wind Power Tip Boom: A specialized feature for the renewable energy sector, the crane can lift to a maximum height of 155 meters when equipped with the wind power tip boom, catering to the construction of tall wind turbine towers.
• Work Speeds: Efficiency is evident with a maximum single rope speed of 120 m/min for the main winch, a boom derricking up time of 300 seconds, and a boom extending time of 1500 seconds, all of which speak to the crane’s quick operational readiness and productivity.
• Mobility: For on-site maneuverability, the crane boasts a maximum driving speed of 70 km/h, a maximum gradeability of 58%, and a turning diameter of ≤30 meters, allowing for easy repositioning and transport across various terrains.
• Driving Dimensions: A minimum ground clearance of 365 mm, paired with a front overhang angle of 18 degrees and a rear overhang angle of 20 degrees, ensures the crane can traverse uneven surfaces without compromising the undercarriage.
• Exhaust Standards: It adheres to National stage V standards for exhaust pollutants and smoke, reflecting a commitment to environmental compliance even while performing heavy-duty tasks.
• Physical Dimensions: The overall dimensions (L×W×H) are 21872×3000×4000 mm, with the main boom length (7 boom sections) ranging from 19.2 to 93 meters, enabling the crane to maintain a compact footprint relative to its extensive capabilities.
• Boom Angle: The adjustable boom angle from -0.5 to 86 degrees allows for versatile positioning, crucial for precise lifting and placement operations.
• Wind Power Tip Boom Length: To further enhance its suitability for wind energy projects, the tip boom length varies from 17.5 to 65.5 meters, enabling the crane to adapt to different turbine heights.
