The first parts of Mammoet’s new 6,000-tonne ring crane, SK6000, will soon be delivered to Mammoet’s engineering nerve centre in the Netherlands. In the months ahead, fabrication and production will continue as it is being readied for its very first project, with delivery scheduled in 2024.
It will become the world’s highest capacity land-based crane, and can be fully operated using electric power, allowing clients to execute projects in a sustainable way.
The introduction of the SK6000 sets a new standard in worldwide heavy lifting capacity and allows customers to construct heavier and larger components than ever before. The crane offers a carbon-free lifting solution that others simply cannot match.
The new ring crane shares the same engineering DNA as its predecessor, the SK350. By employing similar design principles and lifting techniques, it provides customers with continuity and peace of mind. Much of the crane’s technology has been working successfully – and safely – on project sites around the globe for many years.
