With a double-truss main beam structure, the equipment is 92 meters long and weighs 575 metric tons. It has an effective span of 48 meters and a cantilevered heavy-duty operation range of 16 meters.
The machine was jointly developed by China Railway Science & Industry Group Co., Ltd and Poly Changda Engineering Co., Ltd. and is able to complete all the work of bridge construction.
It is expected to realize complete assembly engineering during bridge construction, which will promote that work around the world.
