Mammoet, the world’s largest engineered heavy lifting and transport company, has welcomed the Liebherr LTC 1050-3.1E, the first electric hydraulic crane, into its esteemed fleet. This innovative addition marks a significant stride in the quest to minimize carbon emissions in heavy construction projects across various industries.
Zero Emissions, Maximum Efficiency
The Liebherr LTC 1050-3.1E operates with electrically powered lifting movements, completely eliminating on-site emissions. This eco-conscious approach aligns with Mammoet’s commitment to meeting stringent regulatory standards and contributing to global climate targets set for 2030. As pioneers in sustainable heavy lifting, Mammoet continues to lead the charge in revolutionizing the industry.
Unparalleled Flexibility and Performance
Unlike conventional battery-powered cranes, the LTC 1050-3.1E can be connected to a 32A-rated, 63A-rated, or 125A-rated supply on site. This eliminates any constraints on working hours, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Additionally, the transition to electric power translates to remarkably reduced operational noise levels, significantly enhancing safety on-site.
Peter van Oostrom, Global Projects and Assets Director at Mammoet, emphasized the significance of using cranes in the 50-tonne range as a testing ground for cutting-edge technologies. With these cranes in constant operation, Mammoet can swiftly deploy and assess new technologies in live industrial settings, offering clients the best and most sustainable solutions.
Green Milestones: From Project to Project
The Liebherr LTC 1050-3.1E will make its debut in Mammoet’s fleet in the Netherlands, where it will be engaged in a diverse range of projects spanning the civil and energy sectors. All lifting operations will be executed using electric power, showcasing the crane’s eco-friendly capabilities. To move between project sites, the crane is fully compatible with HVO fuel products, providing an impressive 90% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional diesel.
A Versatile Solution for a Greener Future
The introduction of this electric hydraulic crane complements Mammoet’s existing mobile fleet, offering clients an enticing option to reduce their carbon footprint. Its compact size also provides Mammoet with increased flexibility, particularly in confined spaces and indoor environments, where zero-emission operations are paramount.
The Liebherr LTC 1050-3.1E is poised to embark on its inaugural project, setting the stage for a new era of sustainable heavy lifting. Clients eager to embrace greener practices are encouraged to reach out to their local Mammoet location.
