RIS.GA. System

Reduce fuel consumption, save money

With ever increasing concern for our natural environment and volatility in oil prices, maximising fuel efficiency is more important than ever. Control Techniques offers an innovative solution to reduce consumption. RIS.GA. is a compact low cost fuel saving system that can be easily installed on new or existing RTG and MHC diesel electric cranes. It reduces the speed of the diesel generator during the crane’s stand-by mode and typically reduces total fuel consumption by 20%.

Reduce ownership costs, extend lifePort Crane

RIS.GA. reduces the Total Cost of Ownership for new and old RTG and MHC cranes

  • Reduces operational costs
  • Increases crane productivity by reducing the number of refuelling stops
  • Reduces wear and stress, extending the life of the diesel engine, generator and electrical auxilliaries
  • RIS.GA. is a static electronic system requiring no maintenance
  • Eliminates diesel engine running at high speed in stand-by mode
  • Reduces emissions

Fast return on investment (ROI)

With RIS.GA. field tests show that terminal operators can save up to 50% of fuel consumption during the crane’s stand-by mode and more than 20% fuel consumption overall. This produces a fast ROI, typically one to two years (depending on the country oil cost) and long term savings.

Reduced fuel consumption using RIS.GA.

The graphs below show the fuel consumption, in litres used per hour, of six different RTG cranes with and without RIS.GA. The readings were taken during one month and show both total fuel consumption and fuel consumption whilst in stand-by mode.
