Sims Crane & Equipment Co. has showcased the world’s first battery-powered crawler crane’s U.S. debut in conjunction with the crawler crane’s manufacturer Liebherr. The crawler crane’s battery-powered engine cuts local carbon emissions completely, and is capable of operating for eight hours unplugged, or for an unlimited amount of time when connected to a power source.
Liebherr and Sims say there is no compromise in performance between the electric version of the crawler crane and its diesel-powered counterpart. The crawler crane is also significantly quieter than its diesel counterpart, making it ideal for construction jobs in residential areas, at hospitals and in other locations where noise pollution may be a concern.
