Liebherr’s HS8300HD crawler uses hybrid drive to reduce fuel consumption

Liebherr has developed a hybrid drive system for its HS8300HD heavy duty cycle crawler crane. The 350 tonne machine generates electrical power from its hydraulic free-fall winches, which offer up to 50 tonnes of line pull. Under this Pactronic system surplus energy is stored in a hydraulic accumulator and regenerated to assist the engine, reducing fuel consumption. This reuse of energy also cuts emissions from the machine.

    Sennebogen’s new 655 HD heavy-duty cycle crawler crane is one of several innovations on the company’s stand at Bauma. Designed for heavy-duty tasks on construction sites and in the extractive industry, the 655 D can be used with a dragline bucket or in foundation construction. The 55tonne capacity machine can be used with a 3.5m3 Hendrix dragline bucket, for instance, and it uses two 16tonne winches driven by high-pressure regulated variable displacement hydraulic motors. There is a continuously-variable fr

    Hyundai Heavy Industries is showcasing a hydraulic hybrid machine at bauma. The R220-LC Hi-POSS is a 22tonne-crawler excavator with a system that allows brake energy to be used for other functions. Hi-POSS stands for Hyundai intelligent power optimal sharing and energy saving. “This is the most novel thing we have,” said Hyundai product engineer Joachim Van de Perre. “With a conventional excavator, when you brake, the energy heats the hydraulic oil. Here we use the energy to perform another task with the ma
