Tower Cranes | Luffing Cranes | Hoists
Tower cranes need short, intense bursts of power throughout the day. Battery Energy Storage Systems deliver that power instantly, without relying on oversized diesel generators. Generators run less, jobsites get quieter, and fuel use drops. The result is reliable crane performance with lower costs and reduced emissions.
Big Crane Power | Small Connections.
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) bridges the gap between a crane’s peak lifting demand and its much lower average daily energy use. It continuously charges from a modest grid connection or smaller generator, storing energy until the crane needs extra power. When the crane hoists a load, the battery instantly supplies the additional power required, then recharges during lower-demand periods. This allows a relatively small power source to support a large tower crane reliably throughout a full ten-hour shift while reducing fuel use, infrastructure costs, noise, and emissions.
Reducing Diesel Dependence.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) deliver the instant power needed for heavy lifts while allowing generators to operate at their most efficient load—or remain off when not required. The result is reliable crane and hoist performance, lower operating costs, quieter construction sites, and a substantial reduction in diesel consumption and carbon emissions.
Build Sooner | Lift Bigger
Sites that would traditionally be limited by available utility power can deploy larger tower cranes and construction hoists much earlier in the project lifecycle. Instead of downsizing equipment, delaying mobilization, or waiting for costly utility upgrades, contractors can move forward with the equipment they need from day one. The result is faster project starts, greater site flexibility, and fewer power-related constraints on productivity. Battery Energy Storage Systems don’t just improve efficiency—they unlock new project possibilities.
The Crane Power Transition
New construction grade Bess battery power units like the AMPD Enertainer are engineered specifically to handle the sudden, violent inductive motor starting currents unique to tower cranes without voltage sags or tripping breakers.
Digital Power for Tower Cranes
Space on downtown construction sites in Vancouver, Calgary, or Kelowna is non-existent. The battery power container like AMPD Enertainer 400 delivers massive peak output from a highly compact footprint—significantly smaller than standard ISO container dimensions—allowing it to easily fit into tight staging areas, narrow laneways, or loading bays.
Battery Power | Modern | Digital | Online.
Diesel generators have done the job for decades—they’re reliable, but expensive, inefficient, and they waste fuel.
kWattWorks is focused on developing practical battery-powered energy solutions for construction, industrial, and temporary power applications. Working with project teams to reduce reliance on diesel by deploying reliable mobile battery systems that lower fuel costs, reduce emissions, and provide quieter, more efficient power on active job sites. With decades of experience leading crews, managing logistics, and solving technical challenges in demanding field environments, kWattWorks brings a practical, operations-driven approach to supporting industries as the manage the energy transition to modernize temporary power.
