Sarens Offers Intelligent Solutions for Heavy Lifting & Transport
Sarens, a global leader in crane rental services, heavy lifting, and engineered transport, is offering its clients intelligent solutions for heavy lifting and engineered transport, with its high-end equipment and value engineering. The company started its operations in India in 2009, and, in less than a decade, has built a strong base of 100+ clients across 19 states.
Informs Manoj Thomas, Sr. Vice President - Sales, South Asia, Sarens, “We have executed heavy lift erection projects, alternate lifting projects with strand jack systems and skidding, and heavy equipment transport across industry sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, wind power, civil, thermal power, mining, and others. We currently employ over 300 professionals in India, including in-house engineering team with project management capabilities, who serve our clients´ projects with top market talent from across the world. With equipment ranging from 12T to 5000MT, we are the ideal partner for small-scale to megascale projects.”
The star of the Sarens global fleet is the Sarens Giant Cranes (SGCs) – one of the biggest cranes in the world. Packed with Sarens’ innovative engineering, these cranes are designed entirely in-house and combine stability, precision, safety, and a novel design to streamline on-site project work. “Our family of SGC cranes are the future of super-heavy lifting, confidently handling the highest and heaviest loads the world has ever seen. They can be transported to all our global locations to perform projects for our clients,” avers Thomas.
SGC-140 is not only one of the biggest cranes in the world, but also fully “containerisable.” All its power and potential can fit perfectly into standard 40-foot containers, which can later be used as counterweight on site. With its 130-metre boom and 3.200T lifting capacity, the SGC-140 is known for its compact footprint and low ground-bearing pressures.
SGC-120 can lift up to 3.200T to millimetre precision, moving around a compact 38,4-metre diameter ring base. Also known as Big Benny (in homage to the late Benny Sarens), it is a pioneer in the design of this first crane among the SGC family members. SGC-90 is a fully electric crane that generates its own energy. Of epic proportions, it boasts a 130-metre boom length as high as the Great Pyramid of Giza. With its compact, 35-metre ring diameter and 1.650T lifting capacity, this mighty crane is strong, silent, and sustainable. Nicknamed Little Celeste, the SGC-90 is leading the way into a sustainable future.
Another key equipment of the company’s fleet in India is the CC8800-1. With a capacity of 1600/2000T, it has a high lifting capacity and reach. Sarens has further strengthened its reputation as an ideal partner for lifting requirements in the oil and gas, fertilizer, power, modular lifting, and civil markets. “In these six years, the CC8800-1 has significantly helped our EPC organisations in their planning stage to define construction methodology and considerably reduce project cost and time,” informs Thomas.
This is a highly versatile crane available for rent and for special projects. Its key advantages include:

Models and features of Sarens Giant Cranes (SGCs)
SGC-250 led the pack with its launch as the world’s biggest land-based crane. Inaugurated in 2018, the SGC-250 boasts a 5.000T lifting capacity and load moment of 250.000MT. The Big Carl boldly took on its first assignment at the Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Plant in the UK, one of the largest construction projects in the world. With its ability to relocate, fully rigged, from one lifting position to another, the SGC-250 has brought precedent-breaking innovation to the global crane industry.SGC-140 is not only one of the biggest cranes in the world, but also fully “containerisable.” All its power and potential can fit perfectly into standard 40-foot containers, which can later be used as counterweight on site.
