The battery pack and drive system allows IMT’s hydraulic cranes to be operated


The Battery Powered crane is equipped with a standalone EPEQ power system, which includes its ELiMENT Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack. The pack allows users to operate the crane and the compressor, with the base vehicle’s engine turned off. Using the EPEQ system allowed the battery pack to be installed without the need for a full re-engineering of the machine, while using proven technology. It also allows the crane to be used with the engine running from the PTO.

The battery pack has a 48 volt charging system, the package can be equipped with the DC-DC Converter, which converts the output from the trucks 12 volt alternator to a 48 volt/ 30 amp output that recharges the battery pack while driving.
