UK tower crane supplier Falcon Cranes has launched Northvolt Voltpack, a modular and scalable energy storage system designed to power cranes and other equipment on construction sites.
The Northvolt Voltpack is made up of individual battery modules that can be combined to provide between 281kWH and 1,405kWh of power. The system works by storing energy from a mains supply or renewable sources in a battery. This stored energy can then be used to power cranes and other equipment on construction sites, reducing the need for diesel or petrol generators.
Falcon says the Northvolt Voltpack it offers a cleaner and more sustainable way to power cranes and other equipment on construction sites. By reducing the use of diesel or petrol generators, the system can help construction companies reduce their carbon emissions, meet their sustainability targets, help save on fuel costs and reduce noise pollution.
Falcon Cranes will be using the Northvolt Voltpack to power their cranes and other heavy equipment on construction sites across the UK. The company is confident that the Northvolt Voltpack will help it improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and provide a cleaner and more sustainable way to power its cranes.
The charging time for the Northvolt Voltpack depends on the size of the battery module and the charging infrastructure but it typically takes four hours to fully charge the battery on a 125amp supply.
