Engineered for wind turbine lifting and maintenance, the new model has a 2,400-tonne lifting capacity, breaking Zoomlion’s own existing record for the 2,000-t-capacity QAY2000, set in 2012.

The crane features telescopic and wind power booms for the installation of wind turbines up to 525 feet tall. The model's high-power hoisting system can lift even the largest turbines within 30 minutes, the company says.

Zoomlion adds that the ZAT24000H's design features a single-cylinder double-side pin boom structure for improved anti-side bending capabilities. An electro-hydraulic intelligent safety control system increases the product's capacity for wind resistance and safety assurance.

Huanghua Haibin Lifting Installing Engineering Co. took delivery of the manufacturer’s first two units on June 30.
