Spanish genset OEM Himoinsa has unveiled the HVW480, a genset specially designed for integration into mobile cranes.
Last June, Himoinsa reached an agreement with Paceco Espana, a company that designs and manufactures cranes and container shipment & handling systems, to supply power to five RTT Transtainer cranes in the Port of Tenerife.
After several months of work, the Power Solution engineering team of Himoinsa designed the HVW480 generating set. Features of the EU stage IIIA-compliant HVW480 genset include: a fastening system to prevent detachment caused by crane movement; correctly dimensioned for loads with high harmonic distortion and load variations during aggressive work cycles; and paint and hardware treatment, suitable for working in saline environments at seaports.
The crane incorporates a fuel-saving system, so that during waiting time until vehicles arrive to load or unload goods, the system automatically reduces the revolutions of the diesel group to minimum tick over speed, resulting in fuel saving.
