Konecranes Power Options for RTGs - Hybrid Power Pack diesel-electric path A new konecranes solution for RTGs: Hybrid power pack full power, full mobility, fewer stops for refueling The Konecranes Hybrid Power Pack turns a diesel RTG into a diesel-electric hybrid RTG. Whenever possible, the crane is operated with electrical power drawn from the energy store. Like a hybrid car, it takes the energy generated during braking and converts it into electricity to recharge the energy store. This solution can reduce diesel fuel consumption dramatically. The RTG can operate much longer on every tank...

Konecranes Power Options for RTGs - Cable Reel fully electric path Cable Reel WE HAVE DELIVERED OVER 250 YARD CRANES WITH a CABLE REEL This solution equips the RTG with a cable reel, a feeding cable and a transformer, feeding electricity from the grid to the crane. The feed point can be either at one end of the operating area or at the center. A fixed or portable auxiliary diesel generator is used to move the RTG between stacks. When the RTG is in its new position, the electrical power is reconnected. This solution is 100% modular and can be retrofitted to existing Konecranes RTGs. Energy...

Konecranes Power Options for RTGs - Busbar fully electric path BusBar 100% MODULAR RETROFIT TO EXISTING KONECRANES RTGs Like the cable reel, the Busbar option converts the RTG to fully electric operation. The power is supplied by a low electrified fence that provides the physical contact. RTG operation is quiet and there are no diesel emissions. Since there is no refueling, the RTG spends more time shifting containers and its availability increases. With this solution, we convert the diesel RTG to Busbar operation by replacing the diesel engine with a power collector, making the machine...
