Spierings has delivered its 900th crane to Swedish crane hire company BeMÃ¥-lyft.

Since the establishment of Spierings in 1987, Spierings has produced several types of mobile tower cranes in a range from three- to seven-axle cranes and crawler cranes.

Spierings has already booked orders for more than 100 units of the SK597-AT4, with the first 50 units already delivered. It features a 48m jib which can be luffed up to 45° above the horizontal, a maximum tip-load of 1,700kg and a maximum hook height of 58.1m. The maximum capacity is 7t at 14m radius.

Eva-karin Mårtensson, co-owner and general manager at BeMå-lyft, says: “The last few years we saw that the mobile tower cranes were getting more and more popular in Sweden. With the purchase of the Spierings SK597-AT4 we are the first company with a mobile tower crane in the Örebro area. The fast erecting time of eight minutes in combination with the benefits of a tower crane are big advantages for our customers”.

Jeroen Kerkhoff , sales engineer in Scandinavia at Spierings added: “The convenient lifting chart of the SK597-AT4 is extremely competitive with a 130t telescopic crane. The Spierings cranes have already proven to be resistant to the tough winter conditions in Sweden. The crane is standard equipped with a pre-heating system in the truck cabin and truck engine. With steel pads and an auxiliary crane arm it’s still a one man concept. This crane offers all ingredients to make the new concept a success for BeMå-lyft.”

This year Spierings will celebrate its 30th anniversary and is increasing its production capacity to meet the growing market request.
