Mammoet, the leading global provider of engineered heavy lifting and transport solutions, has introduced the SK6000, touted as the world’s most powerful land-based crane. According to the company’s announcement, the SK6000 is designed to address challenges in offshore wind, where rapid component growth has led to supply chain bottlenecks. With a lifting capacity of 3,000 tons to a height of 220 meters, the SK6000 is poised to facilitate the execution and delivery of future wind farm projects.
In the oil and gas sector, the SK6000 enhances integration efficiency for offshore floating projects and boosts uptime for onshore construction and expansion projects. Its modular construction capabilities enable critical components to be built offsite globally and transported to site for installation.
The crane also supports the nuclear energy sector as new plants are approved, using established construction methods to accelerate project completion and deliver low-carbon energy. The SK6000 boasts a maximum capacity of 6,000 tons, employing 4,200 tons of ballast and a ground bearing pressure of 30 tons per square meter. Its containerized design allows for easy deployment and worldwide transport using shipping containers.
Furthermore, the SK6000 features full electric power capability from either batteries or the grid, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of projects. Currently undergoing testing at Mammoet’s Westdorpe facility in the Netherlands, the SK6000 is scheduled for its inaugural project later this year.
Mammoet continues to provide innovative, safe, and robust solutions for heavy lifting and transport challenges.
