XCMG Rolls out the World’s First 14,000‑ton Ring‑Track Crane; National Heavy‑Duty Equipment Boosts Nuclear Power ProjectsRelease Date : Sep 27, 2026Developed jointly by XCMG Group and Sinopec Lifting & Transportation Company, the world’s first 14,000‑ton ring‑track crane has completed final assembly and rolled off the production line in Xuzhou. Hailed as the “crown jewel” in the hoisting‑equipment sector, this unit can complete hoisting of all modules for the Hualong‑One 2.0 nuclear power dual‑island with a single setup, marking China as the world’s first country with independent domestic‑equipment capability for integrated hoisting of full nuclear‑power modules. Integrating technologies including mega‑structure mechanics, AI vision, LiDAR anti‑collision and digital twin, and equipped with an electric direct‑drive system, it delivers over 30% comprehensive energy‑saving and a 25% rise in operational efficiency, with more than 90% of its core components domestically produced. Beyond nuclear‑power applications, the product serves large‑scale modular hoisting scenarios such as petrochemical refining and offshore engineering, breaking the long‑term overseas monopoly on ultra‑large‑tonnage hoisting equipment.
