How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various 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 Cranes
Cranes are essential lifting machines used in construction, shipping, and industrial operations. They come in various sizes and configurations, each suited for different load capacities and heights.
- Small Mobile Crane: Compact and versatile for light lifting and quick setup.
- Medium Tower Crane: Common in high-rise construction for vertical lifting.
- Large Crawler Crane: Heavy-duty lifting for large-scale infrastructure projects.
- Electric Crane: Eco-friendly option with zero on-site emissions.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Plan lifts efficiently to reduce engine running time.
- Conduct routine maintenance for optimal performance.
- Train operators in fuel-efficient crane operation techniques.
- Consider electric models where practical.
