There is a vast range of needs where one might need electricity. Hydraulic Generators are utilizing the hydraulic power of a machine or vehicle to produce electricity. The onboard installation guarantees that there is always electricity available at the worksite. Here are a few examples to give you an idea.
Rehabilitation of Sewer Pipe Lining
In the Gamla Stad [Old Town], Stockholm, Sweden, Hitachi ZX140W-6 excavator works at a rehabilitation of Sewer Pipe Lining worksite. The excavator is equipped with 6,5kVA hydraulic generator to produce electricity for tools, lights, submersible pumps, and welders. Even though the contractor is working in the heart of the city, it is more efficient to have electricity onboard. To be able to provide electricity for himself or the others, the excavator equipped with a hydraulic generator brings added value for the worksite.
Maintenance and Installations in the Process Industry
In Denmark, service vehicle Iveco Daily is used for the installation and maintenance work in the process industry. The service vehicle is equipped with a 10kVA hydraulic generator. Due to the compact size of the generator, there are a lot of space left for other equipment and tools. Plenty of time is saved when the service vehicle is equipped with the hydraulic generator since the worksite changes frequently and since they need to have an authorization to use each particular socket at the factories. The work is done fast, efficiently, and the revenue is better.
Illuminated Sign Installation
In Great Britain, Ruthmann TB270 truck mounted aerial platform is used in illuminated sign installation. It is equipped with 3,5kVA hydraulic generator for powering electric tools. The generator is also providing power for testing an illuminated sign during the installation. The installation projects can be completed at once which reduces complaints and prevents unnecessary maintenance visits. The fixed price installations generate more profit when there is hydraulic generator aboard.
Foundation Work for Buildings
In the Netherlands, a Case crawler excavator excavates foundations for buildings. The excavator is equipped with 6,5kVA hydraulic generator to provide electricity for a submersible pump. The electric cable goes over counterweight into a trench. The generator starts from the button in the cabin. The excavator operator can continue excavation and even turn the excavator 180 degrees while the water is being pumped. The pump can be stopped during the excavation work by turning off the generator.
