30 Second Takeaway
Sarens has taken delivery of its first pure-electric crawler crane, the SANY SCC2000A-EV, marking a significant step in the company’s sustainability journey. Delivered to France and successfully commissioned, the crane supports Sarens’ focus on low-emission lifting solutions as the construction and heavy-lift sectors accelerate toward decarbonisation.
Electrification of Heavy Lifting Equipment
As global infrastructure projects face increasing pressure to reduce emissions and noise, the construction machinery industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Electrification is emerging as a key pathway, particularly for lifting operations in urban, municipal and environmentally sensitive environments.
Manufacturers are responding by expanding their electric equipment portfolios, while crane owners and rental companies are evaluating how pure-electric crawler cranes can support sustainability targets without compromising performance, lifting capacity or reliability.
Sarens Selects SANY Electric Crawler Crane
SANY Crane has announced that Sarens, a global leader in crane rental and heavy lifting headquartered in Belgium, has taken delivery of its first SANY SCC2000A-EV pure-electric crawler crane.
The crane has arrived in France, where it has completed installation and testing. According to SANY, the unit’s performance during commissioning has been well received, demonstrating strong operational capability alongside zero-emission operation.
The SCC2000A-EV forms part of SANY’s expanding portfolio of electric crawler cranes, designed to deliver low noise levels and reduced environmental impact while supporting demanding lifting applications.
Supporting Decarbonisation in Construction
As the world accelerates toward decarbonisation, the adoption of electric construction machinery is becoming increasingly important across ports, municipal works, building construction and bridge projects.
SANY has positioned itself as a leader in this transition, offering a full range of electric crawler cranes that deliver zero emissions, reduced noise and robust lifting performance. These characteristics make electric crawler cranes particularly suited to projects where environmental constraints or sustainability goals are a priority.
The delivery of the SANY SCC2000A-EV to Sarens reflects growing confidence in electric heavy-lift technology and its ability to meet real-world operational requirements.
Strengthening a Partnership Focused on Sustainability
Beyond the equipment delivery itself, the project represents a deepening partnership between SANY and Sarens in the transition toward greener infrastructure solutions.
By working with crane owners willing to adopt new technologies, SANY aims to accelerate the deployment of electric lifting equipment across global infrastructure projects. For Sarens, the addition of a pure-electric crawler crane supports its broader strategy of offering innovative, sustainable lifting solutions to clients worldwide.
