RIS.GA. Energy Saving Systems
Fuel Saving for Rubber Tyre Gantry (RTG) Cranes & Mobile
Harbour Cranes (MHC)
Reduce fuel consumption, save money
With ever increasing concern for our natural environment and
volatility in oil prices, maximising fuel efficiency is more
important than ever. Control Techniques offers an innovative
solution to reduce consumption. RIS.GA. is a compact low cost fuel
saving system that can be easily installed on new or existing RTG
and MHC diesel electric cranes. It reduces the speed of the diesel
generator during the crane’s stand-by mode and typically reduces
total fuel consumption by 20%.
Reduce ownership costs, extend life
RIS.GA. reduces the Total Cost of Ownership for new and old RTG
and MHC cranes
- Reduces operational costs
- Increases crane productivity by reducing the number of
refuelling stops
- Reduces wear and stress, extending the life of the diesel
engine, generator and electrical auxilliaries
- RIS.GA. is a static electronic system requiring no
maintenance
- Eliminates diesel engine running at high speed in stand-by
mode
- Reduces emissions
Fast return on investment (ROI)
With RIS.GA. field tests show that terminal operators can save
up to 50% of fuel consumption during the crane’s stand-by mode and
more than 20% fuel consumption overall. This produces a fast ROI,
typically one to two years (depending on the country oil cost) and
long term savings.
Reduced fuel consumption using RIS.GA.
The graphs below show the fuel consumption, in litres used per
hour, of six different RTG cranes with and without RIS.GA. The
readings were taken during one month and show both total fuel
consumption and fuel consumption whilst in stand-by mode.
