Zoomlion ZCC89000 Lifts 1,244-Tonne Living Quarters Module in China
30-Second Takeaway
A Zoomlion ZCC89000 crawler crane lifted a 1,244-tonne living quarters module into position at the Zhuhai Deepwater Equipment Manufacturing Base in China. The module was prefabricated and integrated onshore for the Huizhou 25-4 offshore project. Lifting it as one unit replaced a planned three-section installation and joining sequence at height. The project team completed the lift, fine adjustment and positioning in one operation, reducing elevated work and, according to Zoomlion, improving construction efficiency and safety.
JZCC89000 Completes Single Lift of Offshore Living Quarters
The lift took place at the Zhuhai Deepwater Equipment Manufacturing Base as part of the Huizhou 25-4 offshore project. The 1,244-tonne living quarters module was assembled and integrated onshore before being lifted onto the platform structure.
Instead of raising the module in three sections and joining them at height, the construction team used a single crane to install the completed unit. The operation brought lifting, load adjustment, positioning and installation together in one sequence.
Zoomlion said the approach reduced work at height and improved construction efficiency and operational safety. The module combines accommodation and supporting facilities, making its systems and overall size important factors in managing its orientation during the lift.
Lifting a Large Integrated Module
The lift required control of the module throughout its movement from the ground to the platform structure. Zoomlion highlighted the ZCC89000’s ability to resist lateral loads, its fine movement control and its stability in long-main-boom configurations as important capabilities for the work.
The crane’s precise movements allowed the team to adjust the module’s position and orientation before setting it in place. Those adjustments were part of the same operation as the main lift, avoiding the separate high-altitude assembly steps associated with a three-section installation.
Huizhou Platform Project Context
The Huizhou project includes a three-deck, eight-leg offshore crude oil processing platform. The topside structure is about 85 metres high, with a projected area close to 13 standard basketball courts and a designed float-over weight of approximately 29,000 tonnes.
The platform is being built to support development of the Huizhou 19-6 oilfield. The living quarters lift is one part of the larger onshore construction and integration work taking place before the platform is moved offshore.
ZCC89000 Equipment Profile
Zoomlion describes the ZCC89000 as a 4,000-tonne-class crawler crane developed for large-scale work in sectors including nuclear power and petrochemicals. The manufacturer highlights its lifting capacity, lateral-load resistance and precise control for heavy, large-volume modules.
For this lift, load control was particularly important because the accommodation unit was moved as a single integrated structure. The crane’s fine movement capability supported the adjustment and positioning stages after the module was raised. Zoomlion also cited the crane’s stability in long-main-boom configurations as a factor in handling the load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What did the Zoomlion ZCC89000 lift?
The crawler crane lifted a 1,244-tonne living quarters module for the Huizhou 25-4 offshore project.
Where did the lift take place?
The operation took place at the Zhuhai Deepwater Equipment Manufacturing Base in China, where the offshore platform modules are being assembled onshore.
Why was the module lifted in one piece?
The living quarters module was prefabricated and integrated onshore. Installing it as one unit replaced a three-section approach that would have required separate lifts and joining work at height.
What work was completed during the lift?
The team carried out the main lift, adjusted the module’s orientation, aligned it with the platform structure and set it into position in one operation.
What features of the ZCC89000 supported the lift?
Zoomlion cited the crane’s resistance to lateral loads, precise movement control and stability in long-main-boom configurations as capabilities suited to large offshore modules.
How large is the wider Huizhou platform structure?
The three-deck, eight-leg platform’s topside is about 85 metres high, covers an area close to 13 standard basketball courts and has a designed float-over weight of approximately 29,000 tonnes.
What is the Zoomlion ZCC89000’s capacity class?
Zoomlion describes the ZCC89000 as a 4,000-tonne-class crawler crane. That is the crane’s model class; the load in this operation weighed 1,244 tonnes.
