Zoomlion says it has launched the world’s tallest and largest wind power tower crane.
Unveiled at the company’s Changde Intelligent Tower Crane Factory in Southeast China this year, the LW3600-240NB is aimed at the large-megawatt wind turbine industry.
It has a maximum lifting height of 790.7 feet and a lifting capacity of roughly 529,000 pounds. The crane comes in body sections of 139 square feet.
According to Zoomlion, the LW3600-240NB is also suited for general construction, bridge building, nuclear power, thermal power and chemical engineering projects. The crane is a response to market demands for larger single-unit capacities and stronger hoisting performance, the company says.

The LW3600-240NB requires an area of at least 115 by 180 feet.
Key safety features on the LW3600-240NB include:
- A stable low-load design
- Round-tenon, high-strength forged clamping ring connections for higher wind resistance up to grade 10
- Dual-cylinder synchronous jacking technology
- ETI digital intelligent control technology for intelligent management
This isn’t Zoomlion's first world's record. Last year, the manufacturer unveiled the 1,200-horsepower DX7004, which it called the world’s most powerful hybrid wheeled tractor. Coming in at almost 13 feet tall, the DX7004 features a dual-motor hybrid powertrain delivering peak torque of roughly 3,320 pound-feet.
Zoomlion also marketed the R2000-720 as the world’s largest tower crane in 2023. The crane can lift 500 cars to 130 floors. It features 20,000 tonne-meter torque, 720-ton capacity and 1,312-foot height.
