Sany has partnered with Danfoss to introduce an electric telescopic boom crawler crane, the SCE800TB-EV.
It is the first volume model of crawler crane available on the market with a fully electric system featuring permanent magnetic synchronous motor technology, the company says. (To see the crane in action, check out the video at the end of this story.)
The 80-ton crane is powered by a 282 Kwh liquid-cooled lithium iron phosphate battery capable of 8 hours of operation time. It features a motor and inverter supplied by Danfoss Power Solutions’ Editron division and a Danfoss Power Solutions D1P hydraulic pump.
The SCE800TB-EV has a five-section boom with a maximum lifting moment of 300 ton-meters and a maximum boom length of 154 feet. Using a wireless remote control, the crane can self-load and unload its rear counterweights.
Inside the cab, the crane is equipped with a one-button start and stop, a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, electric control pedals, an electric-proportional joystick, air conditioning, Bluetooth and USB charging ports. Two cameras and illumination lights installed on the tail of the rotating bed show the conditions on the rear and winches on the monitor.
Sany says the introduction of the fully electric crane reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability and will help meet the increasing demand for zero-emission construction machines.
Commenting on the launch, Chao Wang, head of Editron China at Danfoss Power Solutions, said:
