Heavy lift and transport specialist Sarens UK has strengthened its fleet of crawler cranes with the addition this year of two new and two used machines.
At the start of the year it bought a Liebherr LR1800 crawler that had previously belonged to Baldwins Industrial Services. This machine is working at engineering contractor Amec’s fabrication yard in Wallsend on the River Tyne where it is providing general lifting support on the Bonga topside construction project for a 38 week period. The LR 1800, of which the Belgium-based Sarens group now has two, is rated at 800t capacity by its manufacturer but at 1,200t by Sarens.
Sarens UK also took delivery in May of two new 250t capacity Hitachi Sumitomo SCX 2500 crawler cranes, as well as a 10 year old 250t capacity Demag CC1100 equipped with superlift from Franz Bracht in Germany.
Sarens UK managing director Bev Bentley said: ‘We are working to a planned investment strategy to expand our product and service offer generally.’
Sarens says that its UK-based fleet of hydraulic crawler cranes consists of: four Samsung CX 800s (80t), three Hitachi KH 500-3s (100t), a Liebherr LR1140 (140t), a Liebherr LR1160 (160t), a Liebherr LR 1250 (250t), two Sumitomo SCX 200s (250t), two Demag CC1100s (250t), a Demag CC 2400 (600t) and a Demag CC 4000 (800t).
