How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various crawler crane models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Crawler Cranes
Crawler cranes are powerful tracked lifting machines used in heavy construction, bridge building, and industrial projects. They offer high lifting capacities and stability on uneven terrain.
- Small Crawler Crane 80T: Suitable for medium-duty lifting and confined spaces.
- Medium Crawler Crane 150T: Common for infrastructure and industrial installations.
- Large Crawler Crane 300T: Heavy-duty lifting for major construction projects.
- Electric Crawler Crane: Zero-emission choice for sustainable construction.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Plan lifts and movements to reduce idle time.
- Keep the crane well-maintained for better efficiency.
- Train operators in efficient lifting and engine management techniques.
- Choose electric models when site power is available.
