SELECT uSES AMpD ENERGY BATTERIES To poWER ToWER CRANES IN LoNDoN
Ampd Energy, a player in the energy storage industry, in collaboration with Select Plant Hire has deployed three of its zero-emission ‘Enertainer’ lithium- ion battery energy storage systems at London's high profile Olympia Redevelopment.
Ampd Energy says that its modular lithium-ion battery solution has the potential to revolutionise the industry by electrifying building sites and driving down carbon emissions The deployment of the Enertainer
systems at the Olympia Redevelopment is estimated to save 192 tonnes of carbon over 12 months, reduce operating costs by 70%, and eliminate the equivalent air pollutants of 975 cars when compared to standard diesel generators. Ampd Energy claims that, over the
life of the project, the Enertainer will be more cost effective than diesel generators, as well as saving space and labour time.
TADANo To LAuNCH 25T ELECTRIC RT FoR JDM
Japanese crane manufacturer Tadano follows its unveiling of a prototype of the world’s first fully electric rough terrain (the GR-1000XLL Evolt) with the announcement that it will also launch a smaller fully electric 25 tonne class GR-250N Evolt rough terrain crane for its Japanese domestic market in 2023. According to Tadano the crane will,
like the GR-1000XLL Evolt, have a 194-kW engine enabling a top speed of 30.5 mph (49 km/h). Once at the jobsite a single battery
charge provides up to 11 hours of crane work. This means the crane can travel 25 miles (40 km) to a jobsite and have enough energy for five hours of crane operation, illustrates Tadano. Integrated regenerative braking is designed to further boosts travel and operating times.
Unlimited crane operation at the
work site is possible in plug-in mode after the crane has been connected to

an external power supply. The GR-250N Evolt will be able to be
charged in two-and-a-half hours using a CHAdeMO system, and a full charge on a standard three-phase 200 VAC / 100 A power connection takes around eight hours.
According to Ampd Energy, compared
to fossil fuel generators the Enertainer reduces carbon footprints by up to 90%, is up to 30 times quieter, emits zero air pollutants, and eliminates diesel handling and usage risks. It requires minimal maintenance and zero refuelling downtime. Ampd Energy claims that the
Enertainer is the first energy storage system in the UK to power such large construction equipment and, with the partnership with Select, the battery system is now available across the UK. The company already has 130
Enertainer batteries in use across building sites in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia.
