A factor 2 Less Energy Consumption – ECT Cranes Act as Power Generators

Both the quay cranes and the Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) at the ECT deep-sea terminals require substantial electricity to lift a container. As soon as the hoisting is slowed down or the container is lowered, the hoisting motor however factually changes into a generator which actually produces energy. Granted, some loss occurs, but the kWh meter definitely runs backwards. Power which can next be used for the other engines on the crane or fed back into the electricity grid. Almost all of ECT’s 200 cranes have already been functioning according to this principle long before Lean and Green became an international trend. The proven method reduces energy consumption at the ECT terminals by more than a factor two.
