Dutch crane rental specialist Kuiphuis Kraanverhuur has ordered a third Spierings SK2400-R eLift, accelerating its transition away from diesel-powered crawler cranes toward fully electric lifting solutions.

30 Second Takeaway Kuiphuis Kraanverhuur  has ordered a third Spierings SK2400-R eLift electric crawler crane , following the successful handover of its first unit. The move signals a decisive shift toward replacing the company’s diesel crawler fleet with fully electric mobile self-erecting tower cranes . Third SK2400-R eLift Confirms Shift to Electric Crawlers Dutch crane rental company Kuiphuis Kraanverhuur  has ordered a third Spierings SK2400-R eLift , the manufacturer’s electric-powered crawler-mounted mobile self-erecting tower crane . The order was placed by owner and director Bob Bruijsten  during the handover of the first unit, reflecting Kuiphuis’ confidence in the performance and efficiency of the new electric crawler crane platform . The company has now confirmed plans to replace its older diesel crawler fleet  entirely with Spierings eLift technology . Most Powerful Crawler-Mounted Mobile Tower Crane The Spierings SK2400-R eLift  is the most powerful mobile self-erecting tower crane mounted on a tracked undercarriage  currently available. The crane delivers a maximum lifting capacity of 18 tonnes  at a 14.6-metre radius  and is available with two jib length options , either 42 metres  or 50 metres . Jib tip capacity reaches 5.5 tonnes  on the shorter jib configuration and 2.5 tonnes  on the longer jib, providing flexibility for high-capacity and long-reach lifting applications. Electric eLift Performance Drives Fleet Replacement Strategy Bob Bruijsten said the performance advantages of the SK2400-R eLift  have reshaped the company’s long-term fleet strategy. “Our current machines are modern and equipped with the latest Stage V diesel engines , however the new class electric eLift crane  is simply much more efficient for us as a crane rental company. We have operated Spierings crawler cranes  since 2016, but recently we have seen increased demand from our customers for these cranes, especially those with high lifting capacities .” The eLift electric drive system  delivers improved efficiency, lower operating costs, and significantly reduced emissions and noise, making the crane particularly suitable for urban construction sites  and environmentally regulated projects .
