Every day, many powerful machines take over the heavy workloads of humans. These machines not only lift and transport heavy loads, but also perform other functions, such as laying asphalt and assisting construction workers, allowing them to reach dizzying heights. Today, we are going to introduce you to some incredibly powerful construction machines that are beyond your imagination. Zoomlion R20000-720 When we think of construction machinery, the first image that comes to mind is the huge tower crane. This makes perfect sense, because whenever we see one of these tower cranes, we immediately know that a new building or bridge is being built in the urban landscape. Conventional tower cranes are already considered huge, but the Zoomlion R20000-720, manufactured in 2023, surpasses all expectations and stands out as the largest tower crane in its category in the world, and its lifting capacity is also the largest in the world. The R20000-720 has a load capacity of 720 tons, but during testing it was able to lift even greater loads, reaching an astonishing 900 tons. Hydrohammer IQ The Hydrohammer IQ is a new series of hydraulic hammers that was specially developed by the company IQIP for the purpose of driving monopiles used in the construction of wind farms. Within this series of hydraulic hammers, there are three different models, the most powerful of which, the IQ6 model, is capable of generating a maximum energy of 6600 kilojoules. It is the most powerful hydraulic hammer in the world and can drive gigantic XXL monopiles, with a diameter of 13 meters and a length of 120 meters. In addition, according to the manufacturer, this hydraulic hammer is equipped with intelligent technology that flexibly adjusts its driving energy according to the specific site conditions, minimizing noise levels. Snorkel 2100SJ When construction workers need to perform tasks at great heights, they often use a lift. With the Snorkel 2100SJ, they can reach heights far greater than other lifts. The Snorkel 2100SJ’s telescopic boom has the ability to extend to a phenomenal height of 65 meters, providing a horizontal reach of 35 meters. It takes workers up to 5.5 minutes to reach the maximum height. K-Tec 1263 ADT Although earthmoving work doesn’t get as much attention as other stages, it is an essential process in construction. For example, for activities such as leveling the ground for a building or preparing the base for a new road, workers don’t use shovels. The K-Tec 1263 ADT is currently the largest scraper in the world. This specialized piece of equipment is capable of scraping a layer of earth 4.26 meters wide while moving across the ground ACCO 1700 The largest grader ever built and designed on Earth was the ACCO 1700, with 1,700 horsepower. This massive machine was manufactured in 1980 by the Italian company Umberto Acco specifically for an infrastructure project in Libya, and since then, designers have never built a machine as large. The total length of this gigantic grader was 7.3 meters and its weight was 160 tons, although some sources indicate that it could have reached 181 tons. To move this gigantic machine, two powerful engines were installed, a 700 horsepower engine at the front and a 1,000 horsepower engine at the rear. XCMG RP2405 Asphalt paving requires the use of a series of specialized equipment, but it would be extremely difficult to complete the job without an asphalt paver. The XCMG RP2405 stands out among machines of its kind available on the market, as it is capable of paving up to 24 meters of road width in a single pass. Incidentally, this is a world record. Dynapac CC7200 When it comes to the construction of large-scale highways or airstrips, it is essential to ensure that soil, concrete and asphalt are properly compacted. To meet this need, the Dynapac CC7200, the largest mass-produced tandem roller in the world, was developed. While it would be fascinating to imagine being able to use such a machine, unfortunately, you won't be able to go shopping with this roller. Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 The Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 model mobile crane was officially launched in 2007 and quickly became very popular. It's no wonder this crane gained so much attention, after all, at the time, this was the strongest crane in the world, with the longest telescopic boom, capable of extending from 18 to 100 meters. The basic lifting capacity of this crane is 363 tons, but when equipped with additional accessories and devices, it can reach 1200 tons.
