my country has fully independent intellectual property rights.

The world's largest 26-megawatt offshore wind turbine.

Under the XCMG XGC88000,

the world's first 4,000-ton crawler crane,

successfully completed high-altitude installation.

This major breakthrough was highlighted by CCTV.

This provides key technical support for my country's wind power industry's expansion into deep-sea applications.

The 26MW turbine hoisted this time

is currently the world's largest single-unit capacity and longest rotor diameter offshore wind turbine.

The entire unit has complete independent intellectual property rights.

It also achieves fully domestically designed and manufactured.

The turbine consists of over 30,000 components. The turbine hub height is 185 meters, equivalent to the height of more than 50 residential buildings. 

Its rotor swept area reaches 77,000 square meters. Not only is it the world's largest single-unit capacity and longest rotor diameter offshore wind turbine, it also achieves fully domestically designed and manufactured.

Faced with construction challenges, the project team innovatively employed pile foundation reinforcement technology to enhance foundation stability.
The XCMG XGC88000, the world's largest 4,000-ton crawler crane, was deployed for the lifting task.
Through a system solution combining ground pre-leveling and high-altitude precision coordination, the thousand-ton nacelle was ultimately positioned smoothly.

The XCMG XGC88000, a super equipment hailed by CCTV as "the weight of the nation,"
has won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

With a maximum rated lifting torque of 88,000 ton-meters,
a maximum boom combination of 216 meters, and a maximum lifting capacity of 3,600 tons,

it has set five records:
 "largest lifting capacity, most comprehensive working conditions,
enhanced safety and reliability, optimal transportation efficiency, and highest affordability."

In addition,
the equipment boasts three internationally pioneered technologies, six internationally leading technologies, and over 80 national patents.
