On site the crane will be assembled and moved to its lifting position using SPMT’s (Self-Propelled Modular Trailers) so as not to obstruct other on-site works.

The SGC-120 is a third generation ringer-type crane with 120,000 tonne metres capacity and was designed by Sarens specifically for heavy lifting requirements for refinery, oil and gas, mining, offshore platform and with third generation components for nuclear power plants.
