According to the National Layout Plan for Large-scale Wind Power Photovoltaic Bases Focusing on Deserts and Gobi issued by the national development and reform commission and the national energy administration, the total capacity of the planned wind power photovoltaic bases will reach 455 million kilowatts by 2030.

As an important new energy base in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Urad Houqi is rich in wind energy resources. The phase II Sanguikou decentralized wind power project, with an installed capacity of 20MW, was built here.

Urad Houqi is known for its "desolate and uninhabited" geographical environment and the "weird" climatic conditions. It’s not uncommon that a sunny day suddenly turns to be cloudy with dense clouds and strong wind, or even hail and sandstorms.

Timeline is the essential requirement for disassembling and transporting crane components. The organization and management of a large transportation team is particularly important for wind power hoisting that needs frequent transfer.

Through careful calculation of the bearing capacity and driving capacity requirement, the contractors chose XCC2000 for the mission. XCC2000 boasts an 8-meter-high and 29.5 meters long body, a 4.1-meter-high center of gravity and a 4.5-meter narrow rail. It can turn freely without changing position. Compared with all-terrain cranes, XCC2000 is less picky of working conditions.

In Urad Houqi wind farm, XCC2000 saves 2 / 3 of the travel time compared with other crawler cranes for a one-kilometer transfer. During the transfer, it carries a 457 tons load including boom, outrigger, super lift, 40 tons of counterweight and foot plate, thus more than 100,000 yuan of pallet trucks rental fees can be saved each month.

XCC2000 can save nearly 20 days by its transfer capacity for the construction of a 10-turbine wind farm, bringing great economic value to the contractors.

As the flagship integrating the advantages of all terrain cranes and crawler cranes, XCC2000 enjoys core technical advantages such as "directly lifting the nacelle and impeller without moving the vehicle, outstanding safety and stability, and accurate handling".
