The world's largest fully electric onshore crane is being assembled in the Netherlands, Interesting Engineering reported on April 26. The crane, named SK6000, capable of lifting 6,000 tons, is under construction at the Mammoet engineering center. Mammoet is a Dutch company specializing in lifting and transporting heavy objects. Engineers will continue to refine the crane for delivery in 2024. The new equipment will enable offshore wind power projects even without grid connection.

The SK6000's long reach, hook lifting height, and lifting capacity offer customers a more sustainable solution for transporting heavy loads, allowing them to construct larger components. This new crane model is the predecessor of the SK350, using similar design principles and lifting techniques. The crane has a main boom length of up to 171 m. With the addition of an auxiliary boom, the total lifting height can reach 274 m.

According to the company, the SK6000 can be placed in a container, allowing for rapid transport and on-site assembly, providing the ability to lift super-heavy loads anywhere. This crane will facilitate larger-scale modular construction by reducing the number of operations, reconfigurements, and operations in heavy industrial projects.

The increasing global offshore wind power capacity demands greater lifting power, and the SK6000 is designed to allow customers to erect taller turbines and place heavy floating or fixed foundations. The new crane can reduce offshore project time thanks to its ability to place heavy foundations directly into the water and assemble turbines from a single location.
