Sarens welcomes its first fully electric heavy crawler crane

Sarens is taking a decisive step into the future of heavy lifting with the introduction of the SCC2000A-EV, the first fully electric heavy crawler crane of its kind to join the fleet. Designed for demanding lifting operations without compromise, this crane combines the performance expected of a 200-tonne class crawler with the advantages of zero-emission technology.

At the heart of the SCC2000A-EV is a high-performance electric drive system that replaces the traditional diesel engine, delivering equivalent lifting capacity while eliminating local CO₂ emissions entirely. With a maximum lifting capacity of 200 tonnes, a lifting moment of 1.304 t·m, and boom configurations reaching up to 122 metres, the crane is built to handle serious heavy lifts in complex environments.

One of its most striking advantages is silence. Operating at just 59 dB, the SCC2000A-EV is comparable to normal conversation and dramatically quieter than diesel equivalents exceeding 100 dB. This makes it ideally suited for urban sites, industrial facilities, sensitive environments and projects where safety, communication and noise restrictions are critical.

Powered by a 422 kWh high-capacity battery, the crane can operate for up to eight hours under standard working cycles, with the flexibility to remain connected to the grid during operation. Fast-charging capability allows a full recharge in under two hours, while multiple charging options ensure adaptability to real-world site conditions.

Beyond environmental benefits, the SCC2000A-EV also delivers clear operational gains. Energy costs are significantly lower than diesel alternatives, and maintenance intervals are extended to 2.000 hours, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.

By welcoming this crane into its fleet, Sarens reinforces its commitment to innovation, performance and sustainability — proving that electric technology is not just the future of heavy lifting, but already a reality.
