Zoomlion ZCC13000-1 Load Chart PDF + Specifications

The Zoomlion ZCC13000-1 was officially introduced during the 2021 Changsha International Construction Equipment Exhibition (CICEE), where it was presented as one of the flagship products demonstrating Zoomlion’s advancements in intelligent manufacturing and heavy lifting technology. Developed to meet the growing demands of large-scale renewable energy projects, petrochemical facilities, power generation plants, and heavy industrial construction, the crane combines enormous lifting capacity with exceptional boom length and advanced digital control systems. With a maximum lifting moment of 13,000 tonne-metres, the ZCC13000-1 became one of the most powerful crawler cranes ever produced by Zoomlion and occupies the top tier of the manufacturer’s crawler crane portfolio.

The crane has a maximum rated lifting capacity of 900 tonnes in its superlift heavy boom configuration. Standard heavy boom configurations (S/SA) provide lifting capacities of up to 772 tonnes and boom lengths from 36 m to 90 m, while the superlift heavy boom configuration (SDB) extends from 42 m to 156 m and delivers the full 900-tonne lifting capacity. The standard light boom configuration (SL/SLA) offers capacities up to 400 tonnes with boom lengths from 51 m to 117 m, while the superlift light boom configuration (SLDB) extends reach to 165 m.

A key feature of the ZCC13000-1 is its wind power capability. The crane can be equipped with a dedicated 7 m wind power head, creating the SLHSA and SLHSDB wind turbine installation configurations. In standard wind power arrangement, boom lengths range from 90 m to 117 m, while the superlift wind power configuration extends from 96 m to 168 m. Combined with the 7 m wind power head, the crane achieves a maximum boom system length of approximately 174 metres, enabling the installation of modern high-hub wind turbines that require exceptional hook heights and lifting performance. The wind power configuration is rated for lifts up to 220 tonnes, making it suitable for large turbine components including nacelles, rotor assemblies, and tower sections.

For industrial construction projects, the ZCC13000-1 can also be configured with luffing jib arrangements. The standard luffing jib configuration (SW) offers capacities up to 270 tonnes with jib lengths from 30 m to 84 m, while the superlift luffing jib configuration (SWDB) increases capacity to 400 tonnes with jib lengths from 30 m to 96 m. These configurations provide excellent versatility for refinery construction, power station projects, and large module installation work.

Power is supplied by a Cummins M15 six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 15 litres, producing 563 kW at 2,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 3,000 Nm at 1,400 rpm. The engine complies with China’s Non-Road Stage III emission regulations and is paired with a large 900-litre fuel tank for extended operating periods on remote project sites.

The hoisting system employs hydraulic variable-displacement piston motors driving planetary gear reducers. Main and auxiliary hoists use 28 mm wire ropes with a maximum rope speed of 128 m/min and a rated single-line pull of 18 tonnes. When operating large hooks, the dual hoist system can work synchronously through an integrated synchronization controller to ensure smooth and level lifting of heavy loads. The main luffing system reaches 2 × 52 m/min, while the superlift luffing mechanism achieves 128 m/min.

The crane’s upperstructure rotates at speeds up to 1.0 rpm, while travel speed reaches 0.8 km/h. The undercarriage features a track gauge of 9,000 mm, crawler contact length of 11,200 mm, and 1,500 mm wide track shoes, providing excellent stability despite the machine’s enormous lifting capacity. The average ground pressure is approximately 0.19 MPa, and the crane is capable of negotiating slopes up to 20%. Basic operating weight is approximately 642 tonnes in standard boom configuration.

The counterweight system is equally impressive, consisting of 400 tonnes of superlift counterweight, 250 tonnes of upper counterweight, 96 tonnes of carbody ballast, and an optional 45 tonnes of additional counterweight. This extensive ballast system allows the crane to maintain stability across its wide range of lifting configurations and long boom arrangements.

Zoomlion integrated a range of intelligent technologies into the ZCC13000-1, reflecting the company’s focus on smart construction equipment. The crane uses a CAN-bus based control architecture linking the engine management system, PLC controller, load moment limiter, and operator display system. GPS and GPRS connectivity allow real-time fleet monitoring, remote diagnostics, maintenance tracking, operating data collection, and predictive management functions through a mobile application platform. The crane is also equipped with centralized machine monitoring, video surveillance systems, intelligent fault diagnosis, and comprehensive operational data recording capabilities.

Operator comfort was another important design consideration. The redesigned cab features improved ergonomics, wide visibility, integrated climate control, adjustable controls, and a cab tilting function of up to 20 degrees to improve visibility during high-angle lifting operations. Safety systems include a load moment limiter, anti-two-block device, boom angle limiters, wind speed monitoring, emergency stop system, lightning protection, video monitoring, three-colour load indication lights, anti-over-release protection, and boom backstop devices. These systems work together to ensure safe operation during complex heavy lifting and wind turbine installation projects.

With its 900-tonne lifting capacity, 13,000 tonne-metre lifting moment, 174-metre maximum wind power boom system, advanced intelligent management functions, and comprehensive range of boom and jib configurations, the Zoomlion ZCC13000-1 represents one of the most capable crawler cranes ever developed by the manufacturer and serves as a flagship solution for the world’s most demanding lifting projects.
