ELECTRONIC SYSTEM CUTS CRANE FUEL CONSUMPTION BY 20% CUSTOMER PROFILE Control T echniques’ innovative electronic system has cut fuel costs on diesel-electric cranes by as much as 50% during standby , giving operators an overall fuel saving of around 20%. KEY BENEFITS • FUEL SAVING OF 20% • PRODUCTIVITY INCREASED • LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS THE CHALLENGE Diesel generators on Rubber Tyre Gantry (RTG) and Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHC) are usually run at a constant speed to supply the drive system and auxiliaries, whether the crane is in operation or in standby mode. This means that during standby the system is highly inefficient with a high fuel to power ratio, resulting in high costs and an unnecessary environmental impact.
