We recently successfully converted a Sennebogen 6113 telescopic crane for Cordeel into a hybrid version. This crane now operates 100% electrically. When required, the range extender – an efficient Stage V diesel engine — can be activated to switch to hybrid mode. This provides maximum flexibility without compromising power and performance while significantly reducing emissions and environmental impact.
The hybrid system, including the propulsion system, electric motor, battery pack, and communication systems, was developed by our partner SDK Engineering.
The Sennebogen 6113 has been equipped with:
– 16 battery modules with a capacity of 356 kWh
– PM electric motor 400 kW (225 kW nominal)
– BMS system for monitoring cell and module temperature, voltage measurement, and power consumption
– CHD-400E unit
– Battery cooling and heating system
– Control unit with a 7” color screen and PLC, displaying key data such as:
RPM
Required power
Available power
Battery pack capacity
Connected charging cable
Remaining runtime at current power level
Operating hours
Service intervals
– High-voltage connectors for the battery pack, inverter, and chargers
– Caterpillar C3.6, 100kW, EU Stage V engine
The conversion also includes modifications to the machine’s plating, a Risk Inventory and Evaluation with corresponding measures and a training for the crane operator.
Cordeel is strongly committed to sustainable construction and innovative solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of construction projects. This conversion aligns perfectly with their vision of emission reduction and future-proof construction methods. This project is a great example of how we deliver customized solutions to achieve sustainable ambitions.
