Copenhagen, Denmark-headquartered crane and transport services provider BMS Stangeland, a collaboration between Danish company BMS and Norwegian company Stangeland, has taken delivery of 15 mobile cranes from Sany. The cranes will be used throughout Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
The order comprises ten 110-tonne rough terrain cranes and five 250-ton all-terrain cranes. The cranes were shipped from Sany’s factory in China on May 28, transported to Shanghai, and from there they arrived at Drammen, Norway in August.
Of the 15 machines, eight will be allocated to Crane Norway Group, which is part of BMS Stangeland, while the remaining seven will be distributed between BMS Stangeland’s Havator divisions: Havator AB in Sweden and Havator OY in Finland.
“This is a significant step in strengthening our presence throughout Scandinavia,” says Trond Helge Skretting, COO of BMS Stangeland and head of the Crane Norway Group. “These machines are of top quality and come equipped with advanced technical features that will be highly appreciated by our operators.”
The investment is part of a broader agreement with Seabrokers Heavy Machinery, the Norwegian importer of Sany cranes. In addition to the current delivery, BMS Stangeland has placed an order for ten hybrid 250-ton mobile cranes, with deliveries scheduled for autumn 2025 and spring 2026.
This deal is not BMS Stangeland’s first experience with Sanyand Seabrokers. Earlier this year, two Sany cranes, a 200-tonne crawler crane and an 80-tonne telescopic crawler crane, were delivered to Oslo and have been in operation since January.
“We’re extremely satisfied with their performance,” said Trond Helge Skretting. “Both the [Sany] factory and Seabrokers have provided outstanding service and support. Operational reliability is, of course, a key priority for us.”
According to Sany this deal comes at a time of growing interest for its cranes as the company looks to position itself in the European market. It claims there there has been a surge of interest in its cranes – particularly in the Nordic regions.
“For a long time have we listened to our customers and really taken their feedback to heart, and then of course back to the manufacturing facility,” says Ken Yang, Crane Sales Manager at Sany Northern Europe. “The demands from customers, in regard to doing some modifications to the cranes, vary in complexity but so far we’ve been able to accommodate everyone. I believe this coupled with the fact that our cranes are, by industry standards, very smart investments from day one gives us a clear edge in the market.”
