Winch CRABster – Power Generation – 1x115t 1x30t
The energy sector demands maximum performance and reliability from crane technology. Power generation facilities require the lifting, assembly, and maintenance of massive components such as turbines, generators, and transformers. Cranes must handle extremely heavy loads within tight spaces while meeting strict safety regulations and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
In this case, a winch with a 115-ton capacity and a 32-meter span was installed inside an existing hall – while the plant remained in operation. The central strut of the building created an uneven lifting situation, which required ballast to shift the center of gravity precisely. This illustrates the complexity of structural calculations, installation, and safety planning in such projects.
The crane is designed to meet the industry’s high demands: it allows precise positioning of large components, supports both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and minimizes downtime thanks to its reliability. In this way, it plays a vital role in ensuring supply security and efficiency in modern power generation.
