About Hanjiang

Hanjiang Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of China Railway 11th Bureau Group. It is dedicated to research, design, manufacturing, and servicing railway construction machineries.

Hanjiang is based in Xiangyang city, Hubei province. It is home to the ancient Xiangyang City Wall, one of the oldest still-intact city wall in China.

The company name was taken from the Han River (汉江 or Hàn Jiāng) that runs through the city. The Han Dynasty, one of the Chinese first golden ages, took its name from this river.

Kunlun

Hanjiang TY-YT 1000/40, also known as "Kunlun", is the world's first 1000-ton class high-speed rail box girder erection machine. It was designed to transport and install 1000 tons and 40-meter long box girder. Kunlun fuselage has bolted connection design that can be customized to handle various girder length: 24 meters, 32 meters, and 40 meters.

Why is Kunlun a remarkable achievement in bridge construction engineering?

Firstly, it is the first machine that integrated box girder lifting, transportation, and placement functionalities into one unit. In the past, box girder erection needs two separate machines: One for lifting and lowering girder into position, another one for transporting girder from the stockyard to location. This integrated solution means Kunlun reduces the number of equipment needed and thus lowers the cost.

Secondly, Kunlun high lifting capacity enables bridge designers to use 40-meter long girder instead of the older 32-meter long one. Longer span means we need fewer bridge piers. This results in faster and lower construction cost for the piers.

Thirdly, because Kunlun integrates girder lifting and transportation, it cuts the time required to transfer the load from transporter to lifter. Kunlun takes only 2 hours to erect one bridge span. This is half hour faster than the previous system which takes 2.5 hours.

Award

In 2021, Hanjiang's Launching Gantry "Kunlun" was awarded the honorary title "10 Great Tools that Built the Nation" for its significant contribution in the construction of high-speed rail network in the People's Republic of China.
