The project, announced by the state government of São Paulo State in Brazil in 2020, aims to revitalize the area around the Pinheiros River. The "Wheel of São Paulo" is 91 meters high and will replace the Yup Star Rio as the largest Ferris wheel in Latin America when completed

As a large-scale entertainment device, the stability and safety of the Ferris wheel are particularly important. In the small and complex working space, the spindle and support column with a total weight equivalent to 30 elephants are hoisted in place, and in addition to lifting performance, multiple obstacles test the accuracy of equipment hoisting

The QAY650A all-terrain crane traveled through it, undertaking the critical task of building the ferris wheel's spindle and four support columns to ram the foundation of the project.

Limited by the space of the column and the oblique column, it is easy to interfere with the oblique column when the operation is rotated, and the hoisting of the ferris wheel spindle has become a difficult point in project construction. At the scene, XCMG technical experts and brazilian construction party in-depth discussion and developed a reasonable plan, using 63.4m main arm + super limit working conditions, QAY650A from the middle of the two oblique columns to slowly lift the spindle, and accurately installed to the fixed point, the whole process in one go, won the site staff frequent praise.

It is understood that XCMG product XCT110BR will stay on site to perform the assembly task of subsequent cockpits and accessories

Establish a long-term partnership

A few days ago, Wang Yansong, vice president of XCMG Machinery and chairman of XCMG Brazil, arrived at Villa-Lobos Park to observe the QAY650A all-terrain crane hoisting the largest Ferris wheel spindle in South America, and conducted in-depth exchanges with General Manager Mamuth on the operation of equipment and industry prospects, and finally reached a consensus on cooperation and development to create a future, and established a long-term partnership.

It is reported that the "Wheel of São Paulo" covers an area of 4,500 square meters, accounting for about 3% of the park's area, and is expected to be completed in July, after which the attraction will receive 600,000 to 1 million tourists per year.
