Zero Emissions Electric Crane

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor is using the new Liebherr LR1160E Electric crane on their Canterbury Works Vent shaft site. This site requires the utilisation of a crane for a large portion of the works. There are two options for this requirement which are the HSC SCX1500A-3 Diesel Crane and the Liebherr LR1160E Electric Crane.

The comparisons between these cranes can be seen below:

ModelLiebherr LR1160E ElectricHSC SCX1500A-3 Diesel
Capacity160T150T
Price£6500pw (including operator for 50 hours)£3275pw (including operator for 50 hours)
Delivery/Collection£3750 each way£3700 each way
FuelElectricDiesel
Sound Level78.0dB (recorded at the Liebherr factory at 5m distance)105dB LWA
EmissionsZero Emissions
  • 3.5g/kWh CO
  • 0.19g/kWh HC
  • 0.4g/kWh NOx
  • 0.025g/kWh PM

The diesel crane offers a cheaper solution but has many drawbacks including louder noise levels, less sustainable and future fuel uncertainty.

Whereas the electric crane has more positive impacts including: quieter, requires less maintenance, zero emissions and can be used for up to four hours in an unplugged state.

Although these benefits come at a higher price, it sets a good example for the construction industry and aligns with the company values towards the environment and sustainability.
