XCMG new all terrain crane XCA8000

Recently, XCMG is testing a new model of all terrain crane, XCA8000.
It’s max. boom length is 105m, max. load moment is 8000ton.m. max. height is 175m.
The crane total weight is 96ton, with 9 axles, turning diameter 30m. Its max. speed can reach 80km/h.
This model is designed for lift 2.5-3.0MW wind power motor and big oil/gas or bridge construction work. This is the biggest all terrain crane on earth.
It’s not sure about max load capacity, we guess it’s more than 2500ton.
 
In fact, we don’t think it’s very good to produce much bigger models every year, we hope Chinese crane manufacturer like XCMG, SANY, Zoomlion to focus on crane’s structure advanced and adaptable. Maybe it’s easy to make crane larger, but it’s not easy to make small models more advanced.
