Product Introduction
The XCA1800 is renowned for its innovative technology and highly efficient operational capabilities. It employs innovative ultra-long boom deformation compensation correction technology and high-altitude heavy-load motion stability control technology, significantly enhancing stability and precise positioning capabilities under extreme working conditions. Its proprietary self-retracting wind turbine boom wing-shaped support system reduces truss boom support deployment time from one hour to just 25 minutes, substantially boosting relocation and operational efficiency.
Product Advantage
Excellent capacity for lifting wind turbines
Nine-axle 1600 t all terrain crane with best-in-class load charts. With various combined specialized wind power jib, lifting wind turbines with hub of 140 m is available, performance leading in the industry.
Outstanding heavy-load job site transfer capacity
Global unique dual-power eight-axle drive system, six-axle mechanical drive+two-axle high speed ratio hydraulic drive, contributes to heavy-load job site transfer, i.e. with boom, super lifting device, wind power jib and outriggers attached and grade ability of 30%;
Innovative heavy-duty single-transverse arm independent suspension system, min. ground clearance of 500 mm and 30% improvement in pass ability facilitate to handle the terrains in mountainous areas during job site transfer.
High efficiency moving from a wind turbine location to another one in a job site
With no need to remove the innovative self-folding wind power jib, only 2 hours are required for stowing the crane, high transfer efficiency and cost saving.

Product Uses
1. Onshore Ultra-High Wind Turbine Installation and Maintenance
The XCA1800 is the world's highest-performing all-terrain crane for 140-meter wind turbine installations, boasting a lifting capacity of 148 tons. Specifically engineered for large wind turbines ranging from 2.0MW to 4.65MW and above, it efficiently handles the installation and maintenance of nacelles, blades, and other components at heights up to 140 meters or even 155 meters.
2. Large-Scale Infrastructure Construction
Widely deployed at major construction sites like highways and bridges, it handles heavy precast components and large steel structures. Its exceptional lifting capacity and extended boom configurations effectively tackle long-span, high-difficulty hoisting tasks.
3. Petrochemical Project Heavy Equipment Lifting
In petrochemical plants and similar projects, it handles the lifting of large reaction towers, heavy pipes, and critical equipment. Its precise micro-movement capability and outstanding stability ensure safe installation and removal of large equipment within confined factory spaces, guaranteeing accurate positioning of key machinery.
4. Operations in Complex Terrain and Harsh Environments
With robust off-road capabilities and the industry's only independent suspension system, the XCA1800 effortlessly navigates rugged terrain including mountains, hills, saline-alkali land, and muddy conditions. It demonstrated efficient operation in soft soil and rainy conditions in Qinzhou, Guangxi.
5. Efficient Relocation and Rapid Deployment
The XCA1800 delivers outstanding relocation efficiency. Capable of transporting its superlift equipment, it completes a 4-5 kilometer relocation in mountainous terrain within just 3 hours. Transitioning from operational to relocation mode takes less than one day, significantly boosting work efficiency between turbine sites within wind farms. It set an industry record by installing 15 140-meter wind turbines in 27 days.
Product Operate Guide
Operations with the XCA1800 must strictly adhere to established protocols. Before commencing work, ensure all outriggers are fully extended and supported on solid, level ground. Utilize the intelligent control system to smoothly maneuver the boom, paying particular attention to its independent suspension system's adaptability to complex terrain. During lifting operations, a dedicated signal person must direct activities to ensure cargo is securely fastened and kept clear of personnel. All operators must be certified for their respective roles.
FAQ
1. WHAT COULD CAUSE SLOW OR WEAK MACHINE MOVEMENT?
Possible causes include: insufficient or degraded hydraulic fluid, clogged filters, reduced hydraulic pump efficiency, or inadequate engine power output.
2. WHAT ISSUES MIGHT CAUSE MACHINE DRIFTING?
Possible causes include: uneven tire pressure on left and right wheels, brake drag, malfunctioning travel motors or valve assemblies, or inconsistent track tension.
3. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF ABNORMAL NOISE OR VIBRATION OCCURS DURING OPERATION?
Immediately cease operation and investigate the source of the noise/vibration. Potential causes include loose components, damaged bearings, air ingress in the hydraulic system, or structural cracks. Professional diagnosis is required.
4. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHEN ENCOUNTERING A FAULT THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED INDEPENDENTLY?
Immediately cease operation, record the fault code and symptoms, and contact an authorized XCMG after-sales service station for professional repair personnel to address the issue.
5. WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN TRANSPORTING EQUIPMENT OVER LONG DISTANCES?
Retract all working equipment to transport position. Secure all locking mechanisms. Ensure the equipment's weight and dimensions comply with road regulations. Tie down the load securely and display warning signs.
6. WHAT PREPARATIONS ARE NEEDED FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE?
Thoroughly clean the machine. Fill fuel and hydraulic oil tanks to capacity. Apply rust-proofing to exposed metal surfaces. Remove the battery for separate storage and charge periodically. Raise tires off the ground.
