Mammoet’s SK6000: The World’s Strongest Land-Based Crane Certified

The construction and energy sectors have reached a groundbreaking milestone with the certification of Mammoet’s SK6000 crane, officially recognised as the strongest land-based crane in the world. After rigorous testing overseen by Lloyd’s Register, the SK6000 is set to revolutionise large-scale modular construction with its unparalleled lifting capabilities.

Rigorous Testing and Certification

The SK6000 underwent extensive structural and stability testing, proving it can handle at least 125% overload. Certified for a variety of configurations, the crane demonstrated exceptional performance:

• Shortest Mast Configuration: 127 metres.
• Longest Mast Configuration: 171 metres.
• Lifting Power: In its 171-metre configuration, the SK6000 can lift an incredible 3,000 tonnes at a distance of 220 metres.

This certification ensures the crane meets all safety and operational standards, making it a reliable solution for high-stakes projects.

Transforming Modular Construction

Designed with the energy sector in mind, the SK6000 addresses the growing need for modular construction by handling larger prefabricated components. Its features offer key benefits:

• Increased Lifting Capacity: Larger components reduce the number of lifts required, accelerating project schedules.
• Extended Reach: The 171-metre boom makes it ideal for expansive sites like offshore wind farms and power plants.
• Optimised Efficiency: Fewer lifts mean reduced operational costs and lower environmental impact.

The SK6000 enhances project precision, safety, and productivity, setting a new standard for heavy lifting in modular construction.
