Saren’s new LR 11000 went straight to work on the Oostpolder wind farm

The crane’s first job was erecting 4.65MW Enercon E-136 EP5 wind turbines at Oostpolder wind farm on the north coast of the Netherlands. Configured with 162 metres of main boom and a 12 metre jib, the crane was required to lift wind turbine components weighing up to 120 tonnes to hub heights of 155 metres.

Liebherr’s hydraulic V-Frame can extend the ballast out up to 30 metres

Sarens project manager, Pascal van der Spoel, said: “We decided to purchase the LR 11000 because it has a very flexible derrick system with VarioTray and V-frame. What’s more, its boom length and capacity are ideal for the projects we have scheduled.”
