There are many impressive engineering achievements in the world, and one of them is undoubtedly the ZACB01 truck crane from the Chinese company Zoomlion. This colossal mechanism amazes with its dimensions and ability to lift loads of impressive weight. Unfortunately, there is no much information about this crane model in open sources, however, I will try to tell in the publication everything that I could find.
First, it is worth noting that from 2007 to 2012, the record holder in this area was the German LTM 11200-9.1 truck crane. A photo of this unit took pride of place in the preview of the publication. Its lifting capacity was 1200 tons. However, at the construction equipment exhibition called Bauma China 2012, the Chinese surprised everyone with their new products. Since then, the absolute leader in all respects is the ZACB01 truck crane, manufactured by Zoomlion. The ZACB01 truck crane boasts an incredible lifting capacity of 2,000 tons. This means that it is capable of lifting and moving enormous structures such as oil refineries, bridges, giant statues and other huge objects. No matter the task, the ZACB01 copes with it flawlessly, providing unrivaled power and reliability. ZACB01 is not just a large truck crane, it is a real giant. Its height with the unfolded boom is about 106 meters, which is approximately equivalent to a 30-story building. The width of its base exceeds 20 meters, which ensures high stability when performing complex tasks. It is worth adding that according to some sources, the boom length of this crane is 120 meters, however, this may imply the use of a special console extension. Or perhaps the sources confuse these boom lengths with the height of the crane with the unfolded boom. To ensure stability, the truck crane is equipped with a chassis based on 12 axles. And the maximum speed of the crane on the asphalt road is 75 km/h. It is worth understanding that its weight is 96 tons.
To ensure such a high lifting capacity and efficiency, ZACB01 uses advanced technologies and innovations. The crane is equipped with powerful engines that guarantee its smooth and stable movement. Another important component is the hydraulic system, which allows you to precisely control the lifting and movement of loads. In addition, the crane is equipped with an advanced safety system that minimizes risks and ensures the safety of operators and others.
The largest truck crane ZACB01 has a wide range of applications. It is used in construction, destruction and demolition of buildings, as well as in the oil and gas and energy industries. Due to its lifting capacity and dimensions, it is able to cope with the most complex and large-scale projects, accelerating processes and increasing productivity.
It is worth adding that at the previously mentioned exhibition, the Chinese presented to the public another unique model of truck crane, which took second place in the world in lifting capacity. This model is called XCA5000, its manufacturer is XCMG. This crane is capable of lifting loads up to 1600 tons. Otherwise, its characteristics are similar to ZACB01. However, they also have coordinate differences: XCA5000 has a nine-axle base, which is capable of moving the truck crane literally sideways.
