en.Wedoany.com Reported - Zoomlion's two 800-ton class crawler cranes, the ZCC9800W and ZCC11800, have recently been deployed for the renovation project of Phu Quoc International Airport in Vietnam. They are tasked with hoisting heavy components and installing steel structures in the apron and terminal building areas. These two units are configured with a superlift 63-meter main boom plus a 72-meter tower attachment, and are equipped with superlift off-ground technology, achieving stable control during load travel and slewing. They cover the full-range hoisting for individual parking stands of approximately 100 square meters, with a maximum working radius of 96 meters and a maximum single-piece hoisting weight of 80 tons.
The airport expansion project is managed by Vietnam's Sun Group and is scheduled for completion before the 2027 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit. Upon completion, the airport's annual passenger throughput will increase from its current level to 18 million (an increase of approximately 3.5 times), with a long-term target of reaching 50 million passengers and 50,000 tons of cargo throughput by 2050. The total planned area of the project exceeds 1,050 hectares, built to ICAO 4E standards, capable of handling wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 747, 787, and Airbus A350. The existing runway will be extended to 3,500 meters, while a new 3,300-meter runway will be constructed. The number of parking stands will be expanded to over 100, including 45 wide-body stands, complemented by modern passenger boarding bridges. The entire project is expected to be completed within two years.
During the construction process, the Zoomlion ZCC9800W and ZCC11800 crawler cranes faced the stringent challenges of a maximum single-piece cargo weight of 80 tons and a maximum hoisting distance of 96 meters. Leveraging the aforementioned technical configurations, the two units completed the hoisting and transport of heavy components during the foundation construction phase and the installation of the main steel structure, with precise and stable operation, earning recognition from on-site operators and the client. The participation of the two Zoomlion crawler cranes in the upgrade of Phu Quoc International Airport provides a practical example for the export of Chinese construction machinery and overseas infrastructure construction.
