Recently, the industry-renowned "Global Construction Machinery Top 50 Summit" was grandly held in Shanghai, where the XCMG XR1600E rotary drilling rig was honored with the "Annual Product Award of China Pile Machinery Market."

The 2022 Global Construction Machinery Top 50 Summit attracted mainstream construction machinery OEMs and component manufacturers from multiple countries at home and abroad, as well as representatives of construction and leasing enterprises in China's hoisting, tower crane, aerial work machinery, foundation construction equipment, excavator and other fields.

At the summit, Zhang Zhonghai, Deputy General Manager of XCMG Foundation, participated in the Manufacturer Summit Forum, held in-depth discussions on pile foundation construction and the development trends of the pile machinery industry, and put forward XCMG's opinions and suggestions.

The XR1600E rotary drilling rig, which won the "Annual Product Award of China Pile Machinery Market," is a super-large-tonnage rotary drilling rig newly developed by XCMG Foundation. It has a maximum drilling diameter of 7.5 m, a maximum drilling depth of 190 m, a power head output torque of 1,600 kN·m, an overall height of 42 m, and an overall weight of 520 tonnes—equivalent to the weight of nearly 65 adult elephants—and is known as the "world's No. 1 drill."

The XCMG XR1600E rotary drilling rig adopts the industry's first split-type drive station, ensuring the convenience of modular disassembly and assembly. It is currently the world's first rotary drilling rig capable of fully split transport; after disassembly, no single module exceeds 50 tonnes, so the XCMG XR1600E can easily access many mountainous areas and even steep, high-altitude construction sites.

The XCMG XR1600E has been comprehensively upgraded in working performance, construction efficiency, function expansion, structural strength, safety protection, service life, daily maintenance, overall appearance and other aspects. It holds more than 20 invention patents and represents a new level of global pile foundation construction equipment.

The XCMG XR1600E can meet the requirements of super-large-diameter, ultra-deep and ultra-hard pile foundation construction, and is used in super engineering projects such as cross-sea bridges, offshore wind power and super high-rise buildings.

The award won by the XCMG XR1600E rotary drilling rig represents high recognition by the industry and the market of XCMG's "three highs and one large" product R&D and innovation strategy. XCMG Foundation will comprehensively lay out the innovation-driven "new track," accelerate high-quality development, and charge toward a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation!
