How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for wrecking ball 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 Wrecking Ball Cranes
Wrecking balls are heavy demolition tools suspended from cranes, commonly used to demolish large buildings and structures. Their fuel use depends on crane size, engine power, and operating conditions.
- Small Wrecking Ball Crane 150 HP: Suited for small-scale demolition projects.
- Medium Wrecking Ball Crane 250 HP: Effective for mid-sized building demolition.
- Large Wrecking Ball Crane 400 HP: Designed for heavy-duty demolition of reinforced concrete structures.
- Electric Wrecking Ball Crane: Modern, eco-friendly, and quieter alternative in urban areas.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Plan demolition strategy to minimize idle engine time.
- Use the correct crane size for the project.
- Maintain engines regularly for better efficiency.
- Consider electric-powered cranes for urban demolition to reduce emissions.
