Sarens is launching its latest heavy lift crane, the 5,000 tonne SGC-250 at its site near Gent, Belgium today
SGC-250 has a 250,000 tonne/metre load moment and a maximum capacity of 5,000 tonnes. The crane is on test at the moment, and once completed will head to the UK for its first lifts at the new Hinckley Point nuclear power station. Around 400 invited guests are attending the launch, including a team from Vertikal of course.
