Mammoet Develops Zero Emission Heavy Lifting

As a leader in heavy lifting and transportation, Mammoet says it sees sustainability as an important factor in the future of its industry. But given the huge loads it deals with; electrifying fleets of cranes and self-propelled trailers has for years felt like a pipe dream. However, thanks to recent developments, the company report that they can now credibly offer a whole project solution without emissions – using equipment that it has already introduced to the market.

Mammoet has been investing in ways to make its equipment less diesel-reliant, to give its customers greater choice when it comes to alternative power sources and help those customers to realize benefits such as smoother permitting procedures and a lower cost of borrowing. This has led to the scenario where, using existing equipment such as the electric SPMT transporter and the SK series of cranes, Mammoet says it can now offer a tailpipe emissions-free solution that could serve the entire site lifting and transport scope of a project.

“If you ask me what my main vision is, I want us to redefine the construction site - at least at small scale initially - where we have electric or hydrogen cars, electric cranes, electric trucks, and have all this equipment cross-link and charge each other”. said Mathias Hoogstra Head of Sustainability at Mammoet.
