About the RTG Crane Inverter:
The RTG Crane Inverter qualifies as a high standard product which can be used in different yards using electricity or fuel with efficiency, flexibility and easy operational advantages. In order to limit the consumption of the main engine of an RTG, the crane uses an auxiliary engine which is a small engine used when the crane is not in operation. This efficiently provides power for lights, emergency devices, communication from the operator’s cabin itself.
Though satisfactory, when faced with limitations, this auxiliary engine is replaced by an inverter to supply power. This is the ‘RTG Crane Inverter’ which replaces the auxiliary generator of the crane. This inverter uses battery for the power supply wherein auxiliary engines use diesel. The fuel used for auxiliary engines is saved which leads to save carbon emission.
