A smarter, stronger battery pack for Liftra’s cranes

Liftra is the world-leading provider of up-tower lifting solutions in the wind turbine industry. Their portfolio of crane technologies depends on robust and efficient battery packs. When the battery management system (BMS) previously in use was discontinued, Liftra turned to Leap to manage the process of developing and implementing a new battery pack setup for their cranes.

Leap’s role centered on project management with a strong technical focus, ensuring that the chosen vendors delivered solutions that met Liftra’s requirements. This included leading the evaluation of BMS alternatives, coordinating with a specialized third-party engineering company responsible for detailed cell-level design and calculations, and overseeing the integration of the new technology into Liftra’s systems.

By simplifying the assembly structure, aligning the design with practical handling needs, and ensuring the integration of a modern BMS with extended functionality, Leap helped deliver safer, more efficient, and cost-effective battery packs. The result was a next-generation solution that improved assembly processes, reduced production time, and enhanced the operational reliability of Liftra’s crane technologies.

From early vendor assessments through implementation and validation, Leap acted as Liftra’s trusted technical project manager, securing cost-competitive and future-proof battery systems that strengthen Liftra’s position as a leader in wind turbine lifting solutions.
