Fully electric carry-deck cranes designed for all job sites
Public and private sector crane users are encouraged to visit Zero Emission Equipment, LLC, in the Gold Lot, booth G1412, at CONEXPO-CON/AGG, March 7-11, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada. With an all-electric operating system, the company’s Zeecrane carry-deck cranes are ideal for operations that require lower- to no-emission equipment to comply with jobsite environmental requirements. The load-lifting, self-propelled cranes are easy to maneuver, even in tight spaces.
The Zeecrane, which produces zero emissions, is available in two models: the 4500, with a maximum lifting capacity of 9,000 lbs., and the 9000, with a maximum capacity of 18,000 lbs. Compared to contemporary industrial cranes, Zeecranes have longer booms, a modern design and offer more capacity. The unique carry-deck cranes incorporate an all-electric operating system that uses maintenance-free batteries to power the machine. The zero-emission power system is ideal for all construction sites, including those that require low-noise equipment, as well as enclosed environments or confined spaces where an internal-combustion engine cannot be used, such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses and oil refineries.
High-efficiency hydraulic pumps and motors ensure plenty of power is available to operate the cranes’ functions. The integrated energy management system distributes power, allowing the cranes to work a full eight-hour shift at normal operating cycles. The charging system uses standard 208-240 VAC power to recharge the machines overnight. The on-board charging system uses the latest technology and is included as standard equipment.
The Zeecrane 4500 features a sheave height of 27-ft. 9-in. on the main boom and 35-ft. 4-in. with the jib attached. The multi-position offset jib is handy for use in confined areas. For example, if a tank needs to be hoisted inside a workspace with a restricted height, the offset jib-equipped crane can make the lift. The boom rotates 360° continuously for additional maneuverability. Additionally, the Zeecranes are designed with a self-aligning hexagonal boom, using externally adjustable wear pads for proper boom section alignment and easy maintenance. The planetary winch is designed with a low-profile turret assembly for minimal obstruction of the operating area.
