Tower cranes need short, intense bursts of power throughout the day. Battery energy storage delivers that power instantly, without an oversized diesel generator standing by for a peak that arrives a few seconds at a time.
Generators run less, sites get quieter, and fuel use drops — with no change to how the crane performs.
A battery energy storage system bridges the gap between a crane’s peak lifting demand and its much lower average daily draw. It charges continuously from a modest grid connection or a smaller generator, storing energy until the crane calls for it.
When the crane hoists, the battery supplies the additional power instantly, then recharges through the quieter periods. A relatively small power source can carry a large tower crane through a full ten-hour shift — with less fuel, less infrastructure, less noise, and fewer emissions.
Battery storage delivers the instant power heavy lifts require while allowing generators to run at their most efficient load — or stay off entirely when they aren’t needed.
The result is reliable crane and hoist performance, lower operating costs, quieter sites, and a substantial cut in diesel consumption and carbon emissions.

Sites limited by available utility power can run larger tower cranes and construction hoists far earlier in the project lifecycle. Instead of downsizing equipment, delaying mobilization, or waiting on a costly utility upgrade, contractors move forward with the equipment they need from day one.
Construction-grade battery units such as the AMPD Enertainer are engineered for the sudden inductive motor starting currents unique to tower cranes — the loads that cause voltage sag and trip breakers on a conventional supply.
Space on downtown sites in Vancouver, Calgary or Kelowna is non-existent. A battery container delivers high peak output from a footprint smaller than a standard ISO container, fitting tight staging areas, narrow laneways and loading bays — and reports output, state of charge and fuel displacement online, so performance is visible rather than assumed.
Power strategy. Measured results. Better decisions. Let’s talk about the crane package on your next project.
