Mammoet has launched the SK6000 crane for large-scale construction projects. The SK6000 allows large energy and infrastructure projects to build from bigger pieces, in parallel.
This machine can lift 3,000t to a height of 220 m. The crane has a maximum capacity of 6,000t, utilizing 4,200t of ballast to lift with a maximum ground bearing pressure of 30t/m2.
The crane design uses containerization techniques for deployment and can be transported using shipping containers. It also offers full electric power capability from battery or supply from the grid, allowing customers to reduce the carbon impact of projects.
“This crane is truly a world record feat of engineering, with a production schedule to match”, said Gavin Kerr, director of Global Services at Mammoet. “Hundreds of colleagues have been directly involved with its development across the business. There are very few companies on Earth – if any – that could have brought this crane into reality, and we are immensely proud to be able to do so”.
