Spierings AT6 eLift

Sarens are always looking for ways to limit environmental impact; introducing the Spierings eLift - 6 axle mobile tower crane to the UK fleet is no exception.

The six-axle Spierings SK1265-AT6 eLift is the largest mobile tower crane in the world and can operate 100% emission free. The powerful engine, high-performance pneumatic brake system and excellent overview increase safety on construction sites and public roads. The SK1265-AT6 eLift is the first Spierings crane with a fifth extendible jib section, which, combined with the four other jib sections, delivers an unrivalled radius of 60 meters.

The Zero-Emission eLift system has two operating modes: electrical mode and hybrid mode. Both modes have an efficient first-line energy source, which can be chosen for the grid connection or Diesel engine. The PowerPack® battery technology absorps the peaks in energy usage and will be charged when energy is unused. By using the electric mode you operate the crane 100% emission free on a silent sound level without any limitations in usage.

To operate the crane in electric mode, it needs to be connected to a 32A grid connection that’s quite often available at most job sites. The system is using between 11A and 25A which can be pre-set at the display, so there is still energy left for other purposes.

A small 55kW 3-cylinder Diesel engine with the newest Stage V emission certification is the main energy source during hybrid mode. The unused energy of the Diesel engine is used to recharge the battery of the PowerPack®, so it can be used for peak absorption.
