Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Jiangsu has kept in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping’s instructions to promote high-quality development, build a new development pattern and take the lead in realizing socialist modernization. Today's special program will brief you Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group's efforts to promote the real economy and accelerate the construction of a strong manufacturing province.
XCA2600, a super large tonnage all terrain crane independently developed by XCMG, was successfully lifted for the first time in the enterprise's commissioning site, which once again set the world record for the largest tonnage product held by XCMG.
This also means that the all terrain crane independently developed by China covers various working conditions of onshore fans with a maximum height of 160m and a power below 8MW for the first time, which will greatly improve the efficiency of installation of super large onshore fans.
Gathering the latest achievements of the enterprise, this machine has mastered three core technologies, including high-performance flexible boom technology, super lift technology and independent suspension technology.
"Its lifting capacity is more than 40% higher than our previous maximum 1800 tons and its operating efficiency and lifting speed are 20% to 30% higher than our original crane," said Li Changqing, Technical Expert of Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd.
In the past five years, XCMG has reported a 5.6-fold increase in its R&D investment, made breakthroughs in the fields of transmission and hydraulics, increased the number of invention patents from 102 a decade ago to 2216 today, and identified 26 products as the first major equipment in Jiangsu.
At the same time, XCMG has also formulated and revised 7 international standards and 254 national and industrial standards.
"In 2017, our 1200 tonnage crane just came into the market. In the past few years, we have developed 1800 tonnage and 2000 tonnage cranes as well as 2600 tonnage cranes for trial lifting today. Our key technologies are included here to support product innovation, and each new product launch has set a new world record." said Shan Zenghai, Deputy Manager of Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd.
XCMG's ranking in the global construction machinery has jumped from the seventh to the top three by promoting many high-end products to the market, including the world's first crane, the world's largest tower crane, and the world's highest technical level paver. Its products are sold to more than 180 countries and regions.
"We will accelerate the international transformation of intelligent, green and service-oriented industries and build a world-class enterprise with outstanding products, brands, innovation, leadership and modern governance as soon as possible," said Yang Dongsheng, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of XCMG.
Over the past ten years, Jiangsu has continued to promote the construction of major industrial projects and the cultivation of key enterprises, accelerated the elimination of backward production capacity, promoted transformation and upgrading, accelerated enterprise innovation and digital empowerment, and removed bottlenecks restricting development through deepening reform to promote high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
In 2021, the added value of Jiangsu's manufacturing industry accounted for 35.8% of its GDP, 8.4 percentage points higher than the national average, ranking first in China.
Over the past decade, five industries in Jiangsu have increased their annual output value to more than one trillion yuan. Advanced manufacturing clusters, including new electric equipment, engineering machinery, the Internet of Things, and nano new materials, have been included in the national team. Jiangsu also ranks among the top in terms of the number of little giant enterprises with specialized and sophisticated technologies and the number of individual champion enterprises.
