Deck machinery specialist MacGregor continues its drive for more environmentally sustainable products, services and solutions and has introduced the next generation of variable frequency drive (VFD) electric cranes.

MacGregor has delivered more than 500 electric cranes since 2007, with electric motor and drive system technology evolving significantly during this time. These developments have enabled the winch design, motor efficiency and cooling system to be further improved. As a result, the new generation crane is 15% more efficient than the first generation design and up to 50% more efficient compared to the traditional closed-loop hydraulic design.
