Electric cranes

MacGregor has delivered more than 600 electric cranes since 2007, with electric motor and drive system technology evolving significantly during this time. These developments have enabled the winch design, motor efficiency and cooling system to be further improved. As a result, the next generation electric crane is 15% more efficient than the first generation and up to 50% more efficient compared to the traditional closed-loop hydraulic design. Electric drives are available for all merchant cranes in the MacGregor portfolio, including port, bulker, container, multi-purpose, and heavy lift cranes. The crane offers multiple benefits to shipbuilders, owners and operators: Weight optimised by combination of NMF crane house design principles with MacGregor high tensile steel experience Improved reliability and safety by redundant power supply units and additional brakes  Up to 50% lower energy consumption (especially during standby mode)  Up to 50% lower fuel consumption Potential savings in capital expenditure through reduced generator size Smaller electric cables and no oil filling Superior cargo handling efficiency due to higher speeds and precision control, reducing time in port Increased operator & crew comfort through significantly reduced noise levels Lower maintenance costs without the need to change oil, oil filters, and hoses  A sustainable choice that removes the risk of oil leakage Up to SWL (safe working load) 1,000T
