New Product – the One-Thousand-Ton Crane SAC12000

Apart from the outstanding 72M truck-mounted concrete pump, China’s first 1000-ton all-terrain crane SAC12000, independently developed by Sany, will also make its first appearance at this BAUMA in Shanghai.
As early as the 1980s, Germany’s Gottwald released the 1000-ton ten-axle all-terrain crane AMK1000/10 and formed a product series. Coming after Gottwald was Liebherr. In the 1990s, Liebherr developed the 500-ton all-terrain crane LTM1500. After almost a decade’s development, Liebherr finally launched the 1000-ton all-terrain crane in 2007.
In the meantime, in the field of hoisting machinery in China, competition was no less fierce. “Which company in China will be the first to break foreign companies’ monopoly in the production of 500-ton and larger all-terrain cranes?” was a question of common concern.
Without hesitation, Sany undertook the mission of invigorating the super large tonnage all-terrain crane industry in China. Through independent innovation and perseverance and hard work of more than 500 days and nights, Sany finally presented the 1000-ton crane to the world.
The maximum hoisting torque of the SAC12000 is 3400tm and its maximum extended boom length is 102m. Both the hoisting capacity and the lifting height of the machine are the greatest in the industry. This 1000-ton crane, an embodiment of the painstaking efforts made by people from Sany, shows innovative elements in all places: design of the self-disassembly device on the boom, bending technology of the main boom, and the design of counterweights, and so on. It is reported that the SAC12000 has applied for 23 patents, among which 7 are invention patents, 14 new practical patents and 2 appearance patents. Sany’s powerful penetration into the field of large tonnage crane has undoubtedly accelerated the technological upgrade of the wheeled crane industry in China.
Apart from a promotion reception for the 1000-ton crane, during this trade fair, Sany will hold new product promotion receptions for its 1600t crawler crane, TBM, and road machinery so as to share Sany’s innovation achievements with all spectators.
