Sizing uses the same approved method as your formal proposal: connected load × coincidence factor, plus the largest single start-up surge, divided by power factor, with kVA rounded up. Crane duty is taken at 25% with a ×1.8 start-up allowance and other equipment at 50% with ×1.3; your proposal confirms these against your full itemised site load. Fuel reduction is derived from the two generator consumption figures rather than assumed, —% here; Manitowoc quote up to 70%, which is the ceiling the figure is held to. CO2 at 2.71 kg CO2-e per litre of diesel avoided (Australian National Greenhouse Accounts Factors 2025, DCCEEW). Specifications per Potain PA/PE Series data sheets. | ||||||||||||||||||
Pick your Potain model and its rated kW drops straight into the calculator.
Model names are Potain factory designations. “bridé” (French for “restricted”) marks a power-limited variant, e.g. “bridé 50%” is capped at 50% output, so it draws less. The remaining letter codes are winch and drive configuration suffixes; if a model isn't listed, use the crane's spec-plate kW.
