Zoomlion ZCC9800W Load Chart PDF + Specifications

The Zoomlion ZCC9800W is a heavy-duty crawler crane developed primarily for wind turbine installation, petrochemical projects, bridge construction, and large-scale infrastructure works. The model was officially unveiled by Zoomlion during the Changsha International Construction Equipment Exhibition (CICEE) on 16 May 2019, where it was presented as one of the largest and most technologically advanced crawler cranes in the company’s product portfolio. The introduction of the ZCC9800W demonstrated Zoomlion’s growing presence in the ultra-large crawler crane market and its commitment to supporting the rapidly expanding wind energy sector. Designed specifically for modern high-hub wind turbine installations, the crane is capable of erecting 3 MW wind turbines at heights of up to 140 metres and 2.0–2.5 MW wind turbines at heights of up to 160 metres, making it suitable for demanding onshore wind farm projects where increased hub heights are required to maximize energy generation.

The crane delivers a maximum lifting moment of 11,000 tonne-metres and, in its superlift heavy boom configuration SDB-1, provides a rated lifting capacity of 650 tonnes at a 14-metre radius. The platform is also available in an SDB-2 configuration with a maximum capacity of 800 tonnes at a 9-metre radius, which is why the model is frequently referred to as an 800-tonne class crawler crane. The combination of high lifting capacity and exceptional boom length enables the ZCC9800W to perform heavy lifts while maintaining the reach necessary for modern wind turbine installation and large industrial projects.

The heavy main boom can be configured from 39 m to 93 m in standard arrangement and extended up to 141 m when operating with the superlift system. The light boom configuration ranges from 72 m to 114 m and can be extended to 150 m with superlift assistance. For wind power applications, the crane can be equipped with a dedicated 7 m wind turbine jib, while reinforced superlift wind power configurations allow boom lengths from 108 m to 159 m. In its ultra-wide boom arrangement, the crane can achieve boom lengths ranging from 147 m to 171 m, providing the necessary hook heights for the latest generation of wind turbines. Additional attachments include a luffing jib ranging from 24 m to 84 m in standard configuration and 30 m to 96 m in superlift configuration, as well as an 18 m fixed jib that can be mounted on the superlift heavy main boom.

Power is supplied by either a Mercedes-Benz OM502LA diesel engine producing approximately 420 kW at 1,800 rpm or a Cummins QSX15/X15 engine depending on the market specification. The hydraulic and electronic control systems are designed to provide smooth operation and precise load handling, particularly during wind turbine installation where millimetre-level positioning accuracy is essential. Zoomlion incorporated advanced micro-motion control technology, enabling operators to perform delicate lifting and assembly work at extreme heights with enhanced safety and efficiency.

The hoisting system utilizes twin main winches equipped with 28 mm wire ropes, each delivering a 165 kN single-line pull and a maximum rope speed of 130 m/min. The crane’s slewing speed reaches 0.7 rpm, while travel speeds range from 0.6 km/h to 1.0 km/h. It offers a maximum gradeability of 30%, allowing movement across challenging jobsite terrain. Depending on configuration, the crane employs a substantial counterweight system consisting of 190 tonnes or 210 tonnes of rear counterweight, 60 tonnes of central ballast, and up to 400 tonnes of suspended superlift counterweight. With its combination of high lifting performance, long boom configurations, advanced control technology, and dedicated wind power capabilities, the Zoomlion ZCC9800W has become one of the company’s flagship crawler cranes for heavy lifting and renewable energy construction projects worldwide.
