Electric Spierings SK40 City Tower delivered!

The very first mobile crane that can drive fully electrically!
The latest Spierings SK40 City Tower has been delivered to us by the manufacturer.

Thanks to its built-in battery pack, the City Tower can drive fully electrically into and out of the city. Upon arrival at its destination, the City Tower can operate electrically for several hours on its own power or be connected to the electricity grid.
With the City Tower, it is therefore possible to work completely emission-free, for example in city centers and nature reserves.

During the premiere in Oss, Oldenzaal mayor Patrick Welman and George Raessens were also present. Mr. Raessens, vice-chairman of the industry organization Bouwend Nederland, calls the introduction of the City Tower an important step for the construction and infrastructure world, 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 an enormous demand for that. Secondly, because this will inspire the market and politics to move along. Consider this crane the Tesla of construction equipment. Six years ago, the Tesla was a breakthrough; now you can't drive down the road without encountering one. The same must happen with these cranes.”

This is the most compact crane in the Spierings product series. Thanks to its compact design, with a width of only 2.50 meters and a total length of only 13.08 meters, the truck is easy to maneuver. This crane performs best in urban areas.
The ground footprint of the truck is even less than 10 meters. The maximum outrigger spread is 7,200 x 7,250 mm.
