Sany SCC16000

In 2008, Sany Heavy Industry embarked on a collaborative venture with Guangdong Power Engineering Corporation to develop the SCC16000 crane, successfully securing orders from domestic customers by year’s end. This crane features a modular design, allowing for customization including an optional free-fall function for the main winch hook. The winches are equipped with maintenance-free wet brakes and the crane includes a GPS remote monitoring system that facilitates maintenance scheduling and enhances fault diagnosis capabilities.

The SCC16000 holds 20 state-authorized patents, including three National Invention Patents, 15 Applied Patents, and two Appearance Patents, underscoring its innovative design and engineering. This crane has been instrumental in critical lifting operations, having been used to hoist the third-generation dome of nuclear power plants 17 times and to install China’s first 6M wind turbine, showcasing its capability in major industrial applications.

The SCC16000 crawler crane stands as a significant achievement by Sany, boasting an operating weight of approximately 1169 tons without superlift counterweight. The crane can achieve a mammoth lifting moment of 25000 ton-meters, facilitated by a boom length that can extend from 54 to 108 meters and a jib that can also reach up to 108 meters. In terms of sheer height, the crane can extend to an imposing 195 meters when the boom and jib are fully deployed.

Engine and Hydraulic System

Powering this colossal machine is an advanced engine compliant with China’s national Emission Standards, producing a substantial 746 kW of power at 1800 rpm, with a peak torque of 4629 Nm at 1300 rpm. The hydraulic system is a testament to efficiency and precision, employing a series-connected layout with pilot proportional control for seamless simultaneous movements.

Lifting Mechanisms and Efficiency

The SCC16000 features a multitude of winches, including main and auxiliary hoisting mechanisms that offer fast line speeds and high single line pulls, ensuring high work efficiency and safe, reliable operations even under the most strenuous conditions.

Transportation and Assembly

Recognizing the logistical challenges that come with such massive equipment, Sany has meticulously designed the SCC16000 for ease of transport and assembly. Each component is modular, and the heaviest transport weight for a single part stands at 67 tons, which facilitates manageable logistics for a crane of this stature.

Innovation and Safety

Sany’s commitment to innovation is evident in the SCC16000’s use of high-strength steel plates, generator groups for auxiliary power, and intelligent control systems with safety features such as real-time ground pressure display and over-speed calculation software. These attributes underscore the crane’s capability to perform efficiently while ensuring the safety of the operations.

Versatile Functionality

The SCC16000 crane is also characterized by its ability to travel with a full load, thanks to its powerful traction and smooth traveling mechanisms. Additionally, it includes a wireless remote control feature for various installation and dismantling operations, showcasing its blend of might and finesse.

Maintenance and Operational Advantages

Service and maintenance are made convenient with the GPS remote monitoring option and straightforward adjustment and repair protocols. This ensures the SCC16000’s reliability and longevity, sustaining its operational prowess over time.

Applications

The Sany SCC16000 is an engineering marvel tailored for heavy-duty lifting tasks in various industries, including construction of nuclear power stations, where it can lift complete domes, wind farms requiring high hook heights, and the chemical industry with its substantial weight handling requirements.

This long description encapsulates the SCC16000 crawler crane’s impressive capabilities and the technological sophistication that Sany has integrated into its design, making it a leader in the heavy-lifting sector.

Milestones

Sany SCC16000 set new records at Sinopec’s absorption tower project – In April 2013, Sany SCC16000 set another record of heavy lifting within the industry with the completion of the 950.5 tons of the absorption tower project which belongs to Sinopec’s Maoming Company. The 22C001 absorption tower is the heaviest and highest equipment in the coal-based hydrogen plant of Sinopec’s Maoming Company. Sany has completed the project in two phases. In the first phase, another Sany crawler crane was used to construct the lower part of the absorption tower with a height of 65.64m and a weight of 868 tons (including the weight of the equipment within the tower). In the final stage, the SCC16000 crawler crane successfully completed the task.
