25-ton rooftop crane — a tower-body-less crane installed directly on the building roof, purpose-built to dismantle larger internal climbing tower cranes once high-rise structural work completes. 35 m maximum working range with 4.5 t tip load. 1,083 m wire rope drum capacity. Sized above the 16-ton XGW100-16S sibling — chosen when the climbing tower crane being dismantled or final rooftop equipment placements exceed the 16-ton hook block. Luffing-boom design clears parapets, antennas, and HVAC obstructions on the roof.
The XCMG XGW185-25S is a 25-ton rooftop crane — a tower-body-less crane installed directly on the building roof, purpose-built to dismantle larger internal climbing tower cranes once the structural build is finished.
The XGW185-25S handles 25 t maximum lifting capacity, 35 m maximum working range with 4.5 t tip load, and 1,083 m wire rope drum capacity. Sized above the 16-ton XGW100-16S sibling — chosen when the climbing tower crane being dismantled, or final rooftop equipment placements, exceed the 16-ton hook block. The crane has no tower body of its own; it mounts directly onto the completed rooftop, then luffs its boom up and down rather than relying on horizontal trolley traverse. The luffing motion fits rooftop layouts where swing arcs are blocked by parapets, antennas, HVAC plant, or other obstructions. Once a high-rise project completes, the rooftop crane dismantles the climbing tower crane piece by piece, then is itself broken down and removed — eliminating expensive helicopter or extended-boom mobile crane methods.
