Dutch crane rental group

Six Dutch crane rental companies have formed a new partnership or alliance under the banner Kraanverhuur Nederland (KVN), to offer a local crane service nationally.

The six independently owned members of the new partnership are Baetsen, BKF, Van Grinsven, Heeren, Kuiphuis Kraanverhuur and Nederhoff. The alliance can boast a combined fleet of around 250 cranes, operating form 17 locations with 300 employees.

KVN spokesman Bob Bruijsten said: "We find that efficiency and cost for many clients has become increasingly important. Through close cooperation we are able to offer our clients a national network that provides a branch within a radius of 45 km of anywhere in the Netherlands, ready to deliver the right crane for any type of work. Customers who operate nationally have a local contact point anywhere in the Netherlands where they can be assured of a similar level of safety, quality of service and efficiency.”

The 17 KVN locations mean that no job site is more than 45km from a depot

The partnership not only provides a national coverage, but also brings together a collection of different specialities, equipment and skills, from which their customers can benefit. Each client will normally be managed by his local contact with a single invoice and contact point, no matter where they are working or what type of crane they may require.

Ron Nederhoff added: "The aim is to not only offer our customers who operate nationally a single contact point for any lifting job, anywhere in the Netherlands with a consistent quality to perform the task properly, quickly and safely".
