Zero Downtime on German Construction Sites: Weiss Kranservice Frankfurt Opts for Emission-Free Neargrid Power Solutions for Building Data Centers

‍

Weiss Kranservice GmbH & Co. KG invests in 10 Neargrid Boost 200 battery systems for use on construction sites in Germany, including large-scale data center projects.

With this investment, Weiss Kranservice is positioning itself as a progressive partner in emission-free and reliable power supply for tower cranes in Germany.

Important for the market:
These systems are available for rental to construction companies in Germany.

That means:

Immediately available construction power without waiting for grid reinforcement, transformer stations, or long cable routes.

Network congestion slows down German construction projects

More and more construction sites in Germany are facing:

• Limited grid connections
• Network congestion
• Long wait times for larger connections
• Temporary transformer stations
• High costs for cable infrastructure

For large construction companies, waiting is not an option.

Each month of delay means:

• Additional yard costs
• Higher crane costs
• Contractual risks
• Reputational damage

Construction companies that want to start when they decide to do so are looking for a structural solution.

63A mains connection. Three tower cranes. No transformer station.

With a traditional approach, only two tower cranes are often operated when there is a limited grid connection.

A Neargrid battery system makes it possible to power three tower cranes simultaneously with a 63A mains connection.

For large projects, this means:

• Increased production capacity
• Shorter construction time
• Less downtime
• Better planning reliability

The system absorbs peak loads and stabilizes the voltage at the construction site.

Even with voltage fluctuations or limited grid capacity, tower cranes continue to function stably.

Plug & Play microgrid instead of diesel generator

Neargrid functions as a mobile microgrid on the construction site.

✔ No diesel generator
✔ No temporary transformer station
✔ No hundreds of meters of cable
✔ No complex installation
✔ Immediately operational
✔ Emission-free operation

The system is installed, connected, and ready for immediate use.

For critical projects such as data centers, where power outages are not tolerated, this is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Available for rent

For large construction companies, the rental model lowers the threshold.

. Immediate availability.

This makes battery-powered construction power accessible for:

• Large infrastructure projects
• Inner-city projects with limited network capacity
• Data center construction
• High-rise building with multiple tower cranes

More than sustainability: operational reliability

Emission-free construction power is important for CO₂ reduction and tenders.

But for large contractors, the decision mainly revolves around:

• Operational reliability
• Planning certainty
• Avoiding downtime costs
• Less dependence on grid reinforcement

A tower crane that is not in operation costs thousands of euros per day.

A stable microgrid prevents that risk.

Are you planning a project with limited grid connection?

Does your site have:

• Only 63A or 80A available?
• Waiting time for network reinforcement?
• Need multiple tower cranes?

Our engineers analyze your project and calculate how much power you can free up with battery support.

A clear direction for Germany

With this investment, Weiss Kranservice is positioning itself as a progressive partner in emission-free and reliable power supply for tower cranes in Germany.

The question is not whether battery systems will break through in the German construction sector.

The question is who is already opting for certainty today.

‍

More than 160 construction companies in Europe already rely on Neargrid today.

The transition is underway.
