Sarens SGC 250
Belgian firm Sarens is set to unveil what it claims is the world’s largest crane, the SGC 250, in Ghent this November ahead of its use at the new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point in Somerset.
Sarens has designed, built and will operate the crane, which exceeds 3,400t in lifting capacity and is part of a four-year project worth £20m for joint venture clients Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O’Rourke.
It will perform lifts ranging from 50t to 1,150t, with radiuses of up to 165m and will pick up and install prefab concrete elements, steel structures, and reactors.
