Power Generation Cranes

Power generation today takes many forms, each of which requires unique material handling solutions. Power generation can accommodate the needs of renewable, nuclear, and traditional power operators. Whether you need to move wind turbine blades, reactors, or boilers for burning fossil fuels, Ace World Companies cranes have the load capacity and reach to get the job done. 

Ace World Companies Cranes for Power Generation

Cranes handle the equipment and fuel needed to produce energy from fossil fuels and renewable sources. Choosing the correct crane requires consideration of your specific power production needs.

Load Capacity

The weight and dimensions of your anticipated loads play a major role in choosing a crane capable of meeting your material handling needs. ACE manufactures cranes with capacities ranging from 5 to 500 tons to ensure you can safely and effectively move materials throughout your space. We can equip your cranes and hoists with custom attachments for handling materials as varied as oversized wind turbine blades or delicate solar panels. 

Material Types

Some materials require special handling due to their hazardous or sensitive nature. For example, the handling of reactor rods occurs under extremely controlled conditions. Our team will work with you to understand the requirements of your operations and provide customized material handling solutions that optimize your processes. 

Physical Plant 

Your physical location determines the type and size of crane necessary. Overhead cranes are ideal for indoor applications where you must cover large spans. Our gantry cranes mount indoors or out, providing more flexibility.   

Applications for Cranes in Power Generation 

Operators use power generation cranes to lift, move, and position equipment and fuels for energy generation. They can handle large loads and cover expansive areas, making them ideal for large-scale energy applications, including:

  • Boilers: Heavy-duty cranes lift and move massive boiler components for installation and maintenance. 
  • Nuclear reactors: The precise placement capabilities of industrial cranes make fuel handling and reactor maintenance easier.  
  • Solar farms: Cranes move large racks, tracking mounts, inverters, and transformers used to generate solar energy. They can also precisely place panels for installation onto racks. 
  • Wind turbines: Cranes lift and move massive wind turbine bases, nacelles, and blades. Technicians also use them to lower blades to the ground for replacement.

Cranes for power generation lift and position transmission equipment including poles, towers, and reels of high-voltage power lines. They provide precise placement of heavy, high-voltage equipment and transformers in substations.
