Recently, Novocrane officially received an invention patent certificate from the State Intellectual Property Office for a method for energy recovery safety control of cranes. This is another technological achievement we have made in the field of green cranes.

What industry pain points does this patent solve?

During the descent and braking deceleration processes of traditional cranes, a large amount of potential energy is often dissipated as heat, resulting in energy waste and potentially causing overheating of the brakes, creating safety hazards. This problem is particularly prominent in high-frequency, heavy-load conditions such as non-ferrous metal casting, and has long plagued many users. Novocrane independently developed energy recovery safety control method, through a precise feedback control strategy, efficiently recovers and reuses the potential and kinetic energy during operation, while simultaneously constructing a multi-layered safety interlock protection mechanism to ensure the safety and reliability of the entire energy recovery process from the source.

Three Core Values Addressing User Concerns:

More Energy Efficient – Through efficient energy recovery technology, potential and kinetic energy generated during lifting operations are recovered and reused, significantly reducing overall equipment energy consumption and saving users considerable operating costs.

Safer – Deep integration of energy recovery and safety control significantly reduces braking heat load, extends brake life, and significantly improves equipment safety margins under harsh conditions such as high temperatures and heavy loads.

Greener – Effectively reduces carbon emissions, aligning with the global trend of green transformation in manufacturing, and providing practical green lifting solutions for energy-intensive industries such as non-ferrous metal smelting, steel, and port logistics.

This patent reflects the Novocrane R&D team's consistent focus on the safety and energy efficiency of lifting equipment under extreme conditions. Novocrane is committed to driving product upgrades through technological innovation, providing global customers with safer, more efficient, and greener material handling solutions.
