China’s largest crane and construction equipment manufacturer XCMG has delivered a 3,000 tonne capacity wheeled mobile telescopic crane to a foreign customer, breaking its own export record.

The XCA3000BR went to Brazilian crane and transport specialist WTC Equipment. BR in the nomenclature indicates it was a model especially for the Brazillian market. The crane was handed over during the 6th annual XCMG Customer Festival, held at the factory and test ground in Xuzhou, China. Visitors travelled from all over the world.

It will be used to install wind turbines up to 10 MW.

Commenting on his choice of crane Washington Moura, WTC chief commercial officer, said, “It is not just me, in the entire South American and even the global market, people are discovering that the quality of Chinese machinery keeps getting better with time.”

The forecast is for the new crane to have paid for itself in ten years – a very good time span for such a large investment, Moura said.
