Kunlun transport-erection machine
The Kunlun transport-erection machine was put into operation in the erection of girders of the Meizhou Bay bridge of Fuzhou-Xiamen railway in South China's Fujian Province on June 22, 2021.
Developed by China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC), the machine is capable of transporting a box girder as long as 40 meters and as heavy as 1,000 metric tons.
It also solves the coordination problems between bridge construction and power supply under special conditions. Its smart settings enable it in various application scenarios.
Its operation was a breakthrough for China's high-speed railway construction technology and equipment.
