en.Wedoany.com Reported - In Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, despite the arrival of spring, local temperatures often remain extremely low. Recently, the super-large ZCC13000 crawler crane from Zoomlion successfully completed a critical hoisting task for a large wind farm in the region. The smooth execution of this operation verifies the stable performance of high-end equipment in extremely cold and complex geographical environments.

 

This wind power project is a key initiative for Kazakhstan in advancing its energy transition. Astana, renowned globally as a low-temperature city, experiences extremely low winter temperatures accompanied by strong winds, coupled with the permafrost foundation, presenting significant challenges to construction. As the main hoisting equipment for the project, the ZCC13000 crawler crane adopted a broad working configuration of 105+7 meters and undertook the core hoisting tasks for the wind turbine tower sections and nacelles. The equipment utilizes low-temperature-resistant special steel and a customized low-temperature hydraulic system, ensuring stable power output even in environments as cold as -40°C and effectively addressing technical issues such as changes in hydraulic oil viscosity.

In terms of construction precision, this type of crawler crane is equipped with an intelligent control system. Operators can monitor working conditions in real-time through high-definition surveillance and sensors. Thanks to its ultra-wide track grounding area, the equipment demonstrates excellent stability in permafrost areas. When hoisting wind turbine components weighing hundreds of tons, the equipment achieved millimeter-level precise alignment, overcoming interference caused by high-altitude cold winds. The on-site supervisor commented, "Even at such low temperatures, Zoomlion's equipment operates very smoothly."

Kazakhstan, a country rich in wind energy resources in Central Asia, is continuously deepening cooperation with China in the field of green energy. A Zoomlion overseas executive stated, "The successful implementation of the Astana project marks a new breakthrough in the application of super-large hoisting equipment in extremely cold regions." With the successful placement of the first wind turbine, the wind power project will enter its peak construction phase. Upon completion, the project will provide clean electricity to surrounding areas, helping the region achieve its low-carbon development goals and further enhancing the application depth of crawler cranes in the international energy construction market.
