1175 Zoomlion has set another world record, this time for one of its latest tower crane models. The new T3000 has now been officially recognised as the world’s largest topless tower crane, and authenticated by the Guinness World Records. The machine was unveiled earlier this year in an event held at Zoomlion’s Changde Industrial Park and was introduced by Zoomlion vice president and general manager of the company’s crane division, Huang Qun, and the director of the China Construction Machinery Test Centre Ceng Shun’an. Guinness World Records authenticator Chen Dong declared the T3000 to be the world’s largest topless tower crane and issued the certificate.

The T3000 can lift a maximum weight of 160tonnes, has a maximum lifting moment of 31,200kNm and maximum working radius of 85m. It also features a cross-sectional area and base that are small and is said to be easy to erect and dismantle. Zoomlion introduced topless tower crane technology from German company JOST in mid-June 2011, integrating the technology and using this move as a base for extensive product development of its range.
