At the end of 2020, Mammoet launched the 6,000t-capacity SK6,000, which the company says will allow for the construction of bigger FSPO and FLNG modules onshore. This was the second launch of a machine with a capacity exceeding 1,000t within a period of few weeks.
Earlier, Sarens introduced its SGC-90 ring crane to the market, with a maximum capacity of 1,650t and a load moment of 99,000tm. As the SGC-90 is ready for its first job, Carl Sarens and Tom Derveaux spoke to Cranes Today about the process of developing the new ring crane. As possible applications for the SGC-90, Sarens cites nuclear, logistics, construction and offshore projects.

The Sarens Giant Crane (SGC) series was launched in 2011, when the 120,000tm SGC-120 was introduced. Over the past four years, the company has invested heavily in the series, which now comprises four models.
In 2017, Sarens presented the 140,000tm SGC-140, which since its launch has been working at the Tengizchevroil (TCO) project in Kazakhstan. Two years later, the heavy lift specialist introduced an even bigger model, the 250,000tm SGC-250. This model, also known as Big Carl, has been working in the UK for the construction of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant.
