Mammoet Deploys Three World's Largest Heavy Lift Ring Cranes In India

Mammoet, the global leader in heavy lifting and transport solutions, is proud to announce the deployment of three of the world's largest heavy lift ring cranes (with a combined 8,600-t of lifting power) in the country's energy industry. This is the first time in the history of Mammoet in India, where its high-capacity heavy lift cranes have been concentrated in the country, all operating at the same time.

Mammoet's ring cranes are renowned for their exceptional versatility and efficiency. Designed to be easily transported to any corner of the world, the cranes feature containerized components, ensuring cost-effectiveness during transportation and shipping between sites and even countries. Their compact base allows for concurrent on-site work, significantly reducing overall construction lead time and minimizing civil work requirements and related costs.

Rahul Rathod, Project Sales Director, Mammoet India, said, "It is a moment of pride to have three of these colossal cranes in India at the same time. This monumental achievement underscores our commitment to serving India's evolving energy landscape with efficient and integrated solutions across various sectors, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, nuclear power, and offshore wind projects."

The three monumental cranes making their mark in India are:

• PTC210-DS, a staggering 5,000-t capacity ring crane currently stationed in Gujarat for the installation of multiple heavy refinery components.
• PTC35-DS, a 1,600-t ring crane working in Rajasthan on various heavy refinery installations.
• PT50, a 2,000-t ring crane also working in Rajasthan on various heavy refinery installations.

These cranes can undertake more sitewide lifting activity from a single location, removing productivity losses due to relocation downtime and reducing civil works needed on site. Each crane has a high operating speed for time-driven projects that require multiple lifts.


Mammoet's remarkable achievements in India not only showcase its technical prowess but also solidify its position as a trusted partner for the country's energy industry. As the demand for innovative heavy lifting solutions continues to grow, Mammoet remains dedicated to serving India and delivering exceptional results that contribute to the country's progress.

One of the key factors setting Mammoet apart is its engineering expertise. The company's dedicated engineering teams collaborate from the initial project phase, offering tailored solutions that enhance construction efficiency and minimize downtime. With its commitment to innovation, Mammoet continues to drive progress in the industry, ensuring projects are completed on time and cost-effectively.

Mammoet is ready to further elevate India's energy infrastructure with its upcoming projects. The company plans to introduce two additional powerhouse cranes: the SK190, a 4,300-t class crane, and the SK6000, a remarkable 6,000-t crane - the next evolution in the SK series of super heavy-lift cranes. The SK6000 enables modular construction on a larger scale than ever before, cutting down on the number of operations, crane reconfigurations, and working at height in heavy industry projects.

These mammoth machines will play a pivotal role in the installation of multiple components during shutdown activities in the coming years, further bolstering efficiency and productivity across various projects in India.

Mammoet has a wide global network and an unparalleled fleet of equipment. Through deep and longstanding engineering expertise and the highest quality and safety standards in execution, the company brings an intelligent and flexible approach to projects across various industry sectors.
