Project Reference Grabber Crane

Delivery and overhaul of Drakenburgh grab crane for Voorbij Prefab Amsterdam. This 8 ton grab crane for concrete specialist Voorbij Prefab has EPMC Europe Crane Solutions fully electrically converted and delivered in 2017. EPMC Europe Crane Solutions completely electrically rebuilt and delivered this 8 ton grab crane for concrete specialist Voorbij Prefab in 2017, including new crane row drives. EPMC, together with Schneider Electric, implemented the new Altivar Process drives here and the new Active Front End to save energy and feed excess energy back into the grid. The job largely involved electrical re-engineering and mechanical selection. Together with Remote Service, we can access the crane remotely to assist with malfunctions. In addition, the crane was also fitted with a new control seat with new joysticks. The air conditioning system was also replaced, and cushioning material was installed for the cab to increase the comfort of use for the crane operator.

Ease of use

For safety and ease of operation, camera systems were installed in the boom and machine house. After everything was delivered, assembled and installed, a test load was run after which the official commissioning of the grab crane took place. The job was carried out and completed to the full satisfaction of both parties.
