 The equilibrium crane, more easily referred to as the E-Crane, is a truly revolutionary and multifunctional crane for heavy-duty material handling applications. Designed for bulk material handling, storage, process feeding at ports, harbors, scrap-processing facilities, any where high production handling of bulk materials is required, the E-Crane is especially well suited for heavy-duty production cycles and difficult working conditions. The E-Crane features an unprecedented reach of up to 150 feet, lifting capacities of over 30 US tons, push down force equal to 50% of the rated capacity, and significantly reduced power consumption and operating costs. |
 The E-Crane design is based on an ingenious, patented parallelogram style boom that provides a direct mechanical connection between the counterweight and the load. This unique system ensures near perfect balance throughout its full working range. Compared to conventional cranes that require as much as 80% of their available energy just to move the boom, stick, and grab, the E-Crane principal results in significantly lower maintenance and lower operating costs. Simply put, the E-Crane is designed to move material faster, farther, and for less money than conventional cranes.
While the basic design of the E-Crane inherently keeps maintenance costs low, further thought was given to keep the components simple and easy to maintain. This is best demonstrated by the fact that both counterweight and boom cylinders are identical, making spare parts inventories less costly. The power module is located in an easily accessible, walk-in compartment, making the use of ladders or scaffolding unnecessary. Low pressure hydraulics, oversize bearings, and an automatic lubrication system assure a long working life. The E-Crane utilizes only top quality components supplied by leading manufacturers to assure reliability and worldwide parts and service support. |
