Mammoet has developed the world’s strongest land-based crane, the SK6000. This impressive construction tool sets new standards in heavy-duty logistics and plays a key role in major projects such as offshore wind farm construction, refinery building, and large energy power plant construction. Asisto, Mammoet’s system integrator for this project, and Bachmann electronic GmbH, a leading provider of automation solutions, collaborated to help overcome the challenges of automating the crane

The Mammoet SK6000 boasts an incredible load capacity of up to 6,000 tons and is designed to move huge loads safely and precisely. However, its true engineering skill lies not only in its performance but also in its modular design, which allows it to be transported in around 300 shipping containers. This crane is truly a world record feat of engineering, with a production schedule to match. Dozens of the world’s most experienced heavy lifting engineers have been working hard for years to make this a reality; with hundreds of colleagues also directly involved in some capacity across the business. There are very few companies on Earth – if any – that could have brought this crane into reality, and we are immensely proud to be able to do so.
