XCMG XCT35U

The XCMG XCT35U is a versatile 35 US ton boom truck crane designed to handle various lifting tasks in construction, utility maintenance, and other industrial applications. Its primary lifting structure consists of a four-section U-shaped cross-section telescoping boom, extending from a base length of 36.4 feet to a maximum of 120 feet. The boom angle ranges from -5° to 81°, allowing for flexible lifting operations at different heights and positions. An optional jib is available, which adds 29.8 feet of length and can be set at offset angles of 0°, 15°, and 30°, providing additional reach for challenging lifts.

The crane’s frame is constructed from high-strength steel with all walking surfaces treated with anti-slip measures for safety. The XCT35U’s stabilization system includes H-type outriggers with a fifth jack at the front bumper for enhanced stability. The outriggers have three extension positions: fully extended (18.2 feet x 20 feet), half-extended (18.2 feet x 14.8 feet), and fully retracted (18.2 feet x 7.5 feet), allowing the crane to adapt to different job site conditions. Outrigger control is available through a standard wireless remote control or backup manual operation, ensuring ease of setup and versatility.

The hydraulic system of the XCT35U is powered by variable displacement pumps for winching, luffing, and telescoping, featuring a load-sensing proportional multi-way valve for efficient and smooth operation. The hydraulic oil reservoir has an effective volume of 74 gallons, and the system includes a standard hydraulic oil cooler to maintain optimal temperature during demanding operations.

The crane is equipped with a main winch system driven by a hydraulic motor with a planetary gear reducer, allowing for free swing or proportional brake modes. The boom raising and telescoping functions are controlled through hydraulic pilot joysticks, which are integrated with the crane’s display system. This display provides setup, fault diagnosis, and real-time load monitoring, ensuring safe and efficient operation. For improved load handling, the crane also includes a load-holding balance valve and a grooved drum with a rotation-resistant lift rope.

The operator’s cab is fully enclosed and tiltable, designed with safety glass windows and sunshades for clear visibility. It features a sliding door for easy access and an ergonomic control layout, including adjustable seats with armrests. Safety features within the cab include a Load Moment Indicator (LMI), which warns the operator when the crane is approaching its load limit and automatically stops dangerous movements if the limit is exceeded. Additional safety devices, such as hydraulic relief valves, anti-two block systems, and a 360° gear-type swing lock, further enhance operational security.

The XCT35U comes with a fixed 1,000 lbs counterweight and offers an optional 3,000 lbs counterweight to suit different lifting requirements. Hook block configurations of 15 US tons and 5 US tons are standard, while a 40 US ton hook block is optionally available for heavier lifts.

Overall, the XCMG XCT35U combines robust lifting performance, advanced hydraulic controls, and flexible boom configurations, making it an ideal choice for projects that demand a compact yet powerful boom truck crane.
