Siemens Helps Crane Drivers Save Energy

With the new generation of ECO RTG from Siemens Drive Technologies, improved control functions for the operation of rubber-tired gantry cranes are now available. The basis of the new control is the simulation of the load curve and the resulting optimized control of the diesel-electric hybrid drive. By storing braking energy in ultra-capacitors when containers are lowered and by optimizing the utilization of energy due to the new control function, fuel consumption can be reduced by approximately 70 percent.
