Dutch crane rental house Kuiphuis has added another electric crawler crane to its fleet, bringing its total number of electric cranes to nine.

The latest addition is the third Spierings SK2400-R eLift crawler for the company and the ninth eLift model from the Dutch manufacturer. The eLift models can operate entirely electrically, therefore emissions-free at the point of use.

Kuiphuis added the other two eLift crawlers in June and September. They are at work on an infrastructure project in Amstelveen and an apartment construction job in Gouda.

Clean and clear advantages

Bob Bruijsten, Kuiphuis owner, commented on the latest additions, “After we became convinced of Spierings’ mobile crawler crane concept, we noticed that there are many construction sites where the eLift concept comes into its own. The battery in the crawler crane solves local grid congestion for our customer, while still allowing the crane to operate at full capacity.

“This third SK2400-R model crane, with a boom of no less than 50 metres, is very deployable for us on all possible construction sites in the Netherlands and even abroad. After delivery, the crane goes directly to the site to perform its work there completely electrically.”
