Electric transloading crane completes MacGregor series
MacGregor said that its new electric transloading crane is a result of combining decades of extensive customer experience.
“Launching this crane finally closes the gap in MacGregor’s electric crane portfolio and enables offering the most efficient cranes up to SWL 50t in this demanding segment,” the company stated.
“Transloading cranes are used for heavy-duty work in areas with draught restrictions or limited infrastructure. Consequently, the cranes typically run 24/7 to ensure the most efficient handling of bulk materials.
“By electrifying the drive system, the new crane brings efficiency to the next level. It consumes some 60% less energy compared to a hydraulic drive system.”
Electric drives are available for all merchant cranes in the MacGregor portfolio, including port, bulker, container, multipurpose, and heavy lift cranes. All-electric cranes can also be connected to the MacGregor OnWatch Scout service.
