Mammoet Assemble Land-Based Crane

Mammoet, the global leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport, announced they have started assembling the world’s strongest land-based crane, the SK6000, at its Westdorpe facility in the Netherlands. The company say the project marks a new era in heavy lifting technology, offering unprecedented lifting capacity and reach, and opening up new construction methodologies for large projects.

The crane will offer full electric operation, this means it enables the transition to cleaner power sources while driving down the carbon impact of energy projects themselves, add Mammoet. The SK6000 has a maximum capacity of 6,000t, and is capable of lifting components up to 3,000t to a height of 220 meters. Its lifting power allows Mammoet customers to build more efficiently in larger pieces, shrinking the logistics, integration and mobilization phases of projects.

“This is a thrilling new chapter for Mammoet and modular construction in heavy industry, as we see the SK6000 taking shape. It will offer a hook height, outreach, and lifting capacity far in excess of any crane on the market. We are excited to bring this groundbreaking technology to our customers, helping them achieve their project goals with greater efficiency and more sustainably.” said Koen Brouwers, Project Manager for the SK6000.
