Falcon Tower Cranes leads the way in innovative energy solutions.
- Falcon Tower Cranes is pioneering the use of a new British battery, promising substantial cost and carbon footprint reductions on construction sites.
- The new battery, developed by Dumarey Green Power, prioritises power output over traditional energy storage, offering efficiency and less environmental impact.
- Falcon’s commitment to adopting the Revolution Battery aligns with their vision for a sustainable and efficient future in construction.
- Dumarey Green Power is expanding its portfolio, promoting greener alternatives to conventional diesel generators in the construction industry.
Falcon Tower Cranes has taken a significant step forward in sustainable construction technology by becoming the first customer to adopt Dumarey Green Power’s Revolution Battery. This new battery system represents a shift in approach, focusing not on sheer energy capacity but rather on providing substantial power output when required. This is particularly advantageous for construction sites that encounter sporadic but intense power demands, as it circumvents the need for oversized diesel generators.
Dumarey Green Power, formerly known as Punch Flybrid, has crafted a battery system that delivers 300kW of power with only 28kWh of energy capacity. Tobias Knichel, managing director of Dumarey Green Power, states that their product is priced at a third of traditional solutions and significantly more efficient, offering contractors a compelling alternative for managing power requirements effectively. The Revolution Battery provides ample power for large equipment like tower cranes from a modest mains connection, thus optimising resource use.
Falcon Tower Cranes has already utilised Dumarey’s previous flywheel system, and their latest commitment to the Revolution Battery underscores their strategy to minimise reliance on diesel. Falcon’s managing director, Andrew Brown, has expressed enthusiasm about the potential to integrate this new technology, which aligns with the company’s environmental objectives and operational necessities.
Besides this technological advancement, Dumarey Green Power has also recently acquired Time Shift BV, a Dutch firm specialising in second-life battery systems. This acquisition enables Dumarey to repurpose batteries from electric vehicles, extending their utility in other applications, such as powering events and construction projects. Notably, these systems, such as the EnergySkid and PowerSkid, demonstrate the company’s broader commitment to sustainability.
Dumarey Green Power’s innovation not only promises to reduce reliance on fossil fuels but also enhances the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of power solutions for construction sites. Their diverse range of energy systems, which now includes the Revolution Battery, suggests a holistic approach to modern energy challenges faced by contractors.
Falcon’s adoption of the Revolution Battery exemplifies a pivotal shift towards sustainable construction technology.
