2020 XCMG XGC85 Used Crawler Cranes 85 Ton For Industrial

2020 XCMG XGC85 Crawler Crane

This unit is a factory-new XCMG XGC85 85-ton truss crawler crane manufactured in 2020 and compliant with Euro III emission standards. Its rated lifting capacity is 85 metric tons under full-load conditions (4 m radius, 43 m main boom, 28.2 t counterweight). The total counterweight mass is 28.2 t (commonly referenced in the industry as “28-ton configuration"). The main boom is configured at a fixed length of 43 m (comprising a 13 m base section plus extended truss segments), and the crane operates in pure main boom mode—i.e., without auxiliary boom or main hook quick-release (free-fall) functionality.

Key Technical Specifications

1. Model & Compliance

• Full designation: XCMG XGC85 85-ton Truss Crawler Crane (Euro III, 20-model variant)
• Year of manufacture: 2020
• Powertrain: Euro III-compliant diesel engine ( QSC8.3 or Shangchai SC9DK270G3), rated output 199 kW (270 hp) at 2000 rpm; no selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or urea injection system

2. Lifting Configuration & Safety Differentiation

• Main hook: Factory-standard 85 t hook (self-weight 0.89 t, 7-part line, 12 rope reeving); free-fall (quick-release) function omitted per customer specification
• Operational implication: All hoisting and lowering operations are fully hydraulically controlled—no gravity-assisted descent. This enhances load stability and positional accuracy, particularly beneficial for precision installation of sensitive equipment and structural steelwork. Trade-off: Slightly reduced heavy-load lowering efficiency compared to quick-release variants.

3. Primary Application Domains

• Industrial plant equipment installation and commissioning
• Auxiliary lifting for wind turbine tower sections
• Bridge component placement (girders, piers, deck segments)
• Municipal infrastructure projects (pipeline laying, utility vaults)
• Oil storage tank erection and alignment

Counterweight System (Total Mass: 28.2 t)

• Composition:
  • Counterweight base tray: 6.0 t
  • Six side counterweight blocks (2.0 t each): 12.0 t
  • Two central main counterweights (5.1 t each): 10.2 t
• Mounting method: Rear-mounted suspension-pin assembly; fully disassemblable for transport
• Transport logistics: Modular design enables multi-vehicle transportation; main unit (excluding counterweight and boom) weighs 41.2 t and complies with standard road transport weight limits

Main Boom Configuration (43 m Fixed-Length Truss Boom)

• Structural composition: Base section (13 m) + extension segments totaling 43 m
• Adjustable range (factory capability): 13–58 m; this unit is permanently configured at 43 m
• Slewing range: –3° to +80°
• Rated lifting capacities (43 m boom + 28.2 t counterweight):
  • At 4 m radius: 85.0 t (full-rated condition)
  • At 10 m radius: 42.0 t
  • At 20 m radius: 16.5 t
  • At 30 m radius: 7.8 t
  • At 40 m radius: 3.6 t
• Hook options: Standard 85 t main hook only; optional 55 t / 25 t / 8 t auxiliary hooks not installed

Powertrain & Mobility Performance

• Engine: QSC8.3 or Shangchai SC9DK270G3, Euro III certified
• Hoisting speeds (hydraulic, non-free-fall):
  • Main hoist (single line): up to 120 m/min (lifting), fully controlled hydraulic descent
  • Boom hoist (single line): 70 m/min
  • Slewing speed: ≤ 2 r/min, 360° continuous rotation
• Undercarriage performance:
  • Maximum travel speed: 0.9 km/h
  • Gradeability: 30% (16.7°)
  • Ground pressure: 0.087 MPa — suitable for low-bearing-capacity soils (e.g., reclaimed land, muddy sites)
• Transport dimensions (main unit only, boom and counterweight removed): 13.05 m (L) * 3.40 m (W) * 3.30 m (H)

Structural Integrity & Safety Systems

• Maximum rated lifting moment: 341 t·m
• Integrated safety systems:
  • Electronic torque limiter with real-time load monitoring
  • Height limiting device (hook height cutoff)
  • Swing angle limiters (mechanical + electronic)
  • Over-pull protection on all hoist circuits
  • Bidirectional braking winch (main and boom hoists)
• Structural features:
  • Self-erecting figure-eight frame (no auxiliary crane required for setup)
  • Telescopic track system enabling width adjustment for site adaptability
• Excluded configurations:
  • No main hook quick-release (free-fall) mechanism
  • No fixed auxiliary boom; 7–19 m jib not supplied — operation limited to 43 m main boom only

Summary of Operational Advantages

1. Proven reliability: Third-generation XGC85 platform with extensive field deployment history; high parts commonality and mature service support network.
2. Balanced performance envelope: The combination of 28.2 t full counterweight and 43 m main boom delivers outstanding lifting stability and capacity at medium and long radii, perfectly suited for industrial, bridge, and municipal construction works.
3. Enhanced operational safety: Absence of free-fall functionality ensures precise, predictable load control—particularly advantageous for high-value equipment handling and regulatory compliance during safety audits.
4. Site versatility: Low ground pressure and telescopic undercarriage facilitate stable operation on soft or uneven terrain, reducing the need for extensive ground preparation.
5. Logistics efficiency: Modular counterweight and segmented boom architecture enable cost-effective, compliant road transport; main unit weight (41.2 t) falls within standard heavy-haul thresholds.
