In recent days, no less than two new electric cranes have been delivered by Spierings Mobile Cranes.
And Kuiphuis continues to invest! In April, a third new Spierings e-Lift crane (for this year) will even be delivered.
With the delivery of these cranes, over 10% of our entire crane fleet can already be deployed emission-free.
This puts us at the forefront of the market and well ahead of the goals set by the Dutch government.
About both cranes:
The 6-axle Spierings SK1265-AT6 is the largest mobile tower crane in the world. More than 330 units have already been built.
The powerful engine, robust pneumatic braking system, and excellent visibility enhance safety on the construction site and public roads.
The SK1265-AT6 is the first Spierings crane with a 5th extendable boom section. Together with the 4 other boom sections, this provides an unparalleled reach of 60 meters.
The 4-axle Spierings SK597-AT4 e-Lift is the latest generation of the hydraulic mobile tower crane with four axles.
The 4-section boom of the SK597-AT4 e-Lift offers a 48-meter reach, with a compact vehicle length.
The maximum lifting height is 27.8 meters with the boom in a horizontal position and an impressive 58.1 meters with the boom in a 45-degree luffed position.
The SK597-AT4 e-Lift and SK1265-AT6 e-Lift are equipped with the latest crane technology.
The cranes can be deployed with maximum load without the use of additional ballast sections.
As early as 2020, Bouwend Nederland (Dutch Association of Contractors) paid a lot of attention to these types of cranes, the "Tesla of construction equipment".
George Raessens was also present at the premiere in Oss at the time.
The vice-chairman of the industry association Bouwend Nederland calls the introduction of the electric crane an important step for the construction and infrastructure sector, especially in light of the nitrogen crisis.
“This is the beginning of a new era. Firstly, because we can now drive and work emission-free; there is enormous demand for that.
Secondly, because this will inspire the market and politics to move along. See this crane as the Tesla of construction equipment.
Six years ago, the Tesla was a breakthrough; now you can't drive without encountering one. The same must happen with these cranes.
