XCMG XGW100-16S Rooftop Crane

16-ton maximum lifting capacity at minimum radius, 3.2-ton tip load at the 30.3 m maximum working range. 850 m wire rope drum capacity sized for the high-line-count reeving needed at peak hook load. Sized for dismantling mid-tonnage internal climbing tower cranes on high-rise residential, commercial, and large venue projects.

The XGW100-16S has no tower body of its own. The crane is installed directly on the completed building rooftop using mounting frames anchored to the structural slab — eliminating the tower-mast erection and foundation work required by conventional tower cranes. Installation footprint is small enough to fit on the typical high-rise rooftop after building completion.

The XGW100-16S uses dynamic jib amplitude (luffing-boom) rather than horizontal trolley traverse. The boom raises and lowers to change working radius, letting the crane work over rooftop obstructions — parapet walls, antenna installations, HVAC plant, helipad markers — that would block a horizontal flat-top jib trolley path. Fit for rooftops where usable space is limited and obstacles are tall.

Internal climbing tower cranes on high-rise projects have a removal problem — once the building is finished, there is no taller crane on site to lift the climbing crane down piece by piece. Helicopter dismantle is expensive and weather-dependent. Extended-boom mobile cranes need ground-level access and clear airspace that dense urban high-rise sites rarely have. The XGW100-16S goes up to the rooftop, dismantles the climbing crane, then is itself broken into manageable pieces and brought down by the building's freight elevator or roof hoist.

Hook blocks, sheaves, and rooftop mounting hardware share core part numbers with other XCMG cranes — lower inventory carrying cost for contractors operating mixed tower-crane and rooftop-crane rosters across multiple high-rise projects.
