Wind Energy – Fully Electric
PALFINGER has been selected to deliver the first fully electric offshore cranes to be installed on the substations of the Bałtyk 2 and Bałtyk 3 offshore wind farms in Poland.
These cranes built in Poland mark a major milestone in the electrification of offshore wind operations, highlighting PALFINGER’s position at the forefront of this transformation.
PALFINGER will equip both wind farms with two DKJ500e cranes, tailored to meet the demanding needs of offshore wind operations.
The DKJ500e, with a safe working load of 5 tons at 28 meters outreach, is an upgraded version of the fully electric offshore jib cranes that PALFINGER MARINE has developed for the Oil & Gas industry. These innovative cranes are also designed to be fully remotely operated.
PALFINGER’s fully electric jib cranes provide a wide range of advantages. Capable of lifting up to 40 tons—and more upon request—and reaching nearly 50 meters on the largest models, they can handle heavy loads at high outreach. The key feature of these jib cranes is their fully electric drive system, offering an eco-friendly and low-maintenance option, especially important for offshore operations.
