Waste to Energy Cranes: Automated Grab Systems for WTE & Biomass
APR Bright Industries is the first indigenous manufacturer of automated Waste-to-Energy (WTE) cranes in India. We installed first semi-automatic crane in Ramky Infrastructure Ltd. in Jabalpur. Our WTE cranes are designed to operate in 24/7 continuous operation in harsh conditions, high-humidity environments. Also advanced cranes features Advanced Anti-Sway Control and DCS connectivity. We provide manual, and semi-automatic, and fully automatic cranes as per industries requirements to increase incineration feeding cycles.
Milestone: India’s First Waste-to-Energy Crane
APR Bright Industries designed and installed the nation’s first semi- automatic 12m³ grab crane at the Jabalpur Waste-to-Energy plant in 2014. These cranes system featured the Advanced FEA-tested structural components and smart control, and smart bunker level monitoring to ensure the regular feeding of waste into boiler, and significantly reducing plant downtime.
IoT-Driven Remote Monitoring & Global Diagnostics
Heavy-duty cranes need regulars maintenance and services in different-different continent. Our WTE cranes are fully equipped with an integrated
Edge-to-Cloud Diagnostics: Our engineers perform the software updates from HQ in India to sites worldwide via Live PLC Troubleshooting and secure VPN tunnels.
Condition Monitoring (CMS): Track the real-time record and health performance of cranes components includes motor vibration, brake wear, oil temperature etc. and preventing up to 90% of common mechanical failures.
Operational Analytics: We access the private dashboard and monitor your cranes, energy consumption, cycle efficient and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).

India’s First Indigenous WTE Crane (Jabalpur, 2014)
APR Bright Industries developed the WTE sector in India by designing and installing a 12m³ semi-automatic grab crane for Jabalpur Waste-to-Energy plant. This system remains a benchmark for Target Positioning, DCS- integrated waste handling, featuring anti-sway control, and real time bunker level monitoring and increase the production up to 30% with automatic 24/7 operation.
Sway Control For Waste-to-energy Cranes
APR Bright Industries offers the manual, semi, and fully automatic cranes to renewable energy industry. Overhead cranes designed to perform in any kind of harsh environment because we know how to handle waste in incineration plants.
Therefore, customization, and automation demand in cranes is growing rapidly. Waste handling cranes are manufacturers to deliver safety, reliability, Sway Control, and world class live monitoring system. Our aim to built fully automatic cranes with maximum performance. Save time, charge more with high-tech cranes. In automation mode operator chair is no longer required like manual cranes, and handle the all kind of processing in WTE plant from receiving to storage, recasting, mixing, and feeding into the hopper.
