Italian crane manufacturer JMG has unveiled its latest innovation, a Hydrogen hybrid lifting machine, at the Hydrogen Expo in Piacenza. The new hybrid machine, based on the standard 25-tonne electric drive MC250.09FL crane, incorporates a Hydrogen fuel cell module along with a lithium-ion battery pack. This FCH 96V module, powered by PEFC technology, enables constant power delivery through a 30 kWh lithium battery, ensuring seamless operation. The machine can run for 5-6 hours before refueling and offers quick 5-minute cylinder refills or easy tank swaps. The hydrogen model shares similarities with the standard battery-powered machine in weight, dimensions, and connections, allowing easy interchanging of the modules. The transition to the fuel cell configuration involves minimal changes, mainly repositioning cables and adding a wiring harness. JMG's CEO, Maurizio Manzini, emphasizes the significance of this technological advancement, marking a milestone in the industrial lifting sector's energy transition. This new technology signifies JMG's commitment to a sustainable future and sets the stage for further innovation and R&D in the field of industrial lifting and energy systems.
