Corporate Story

The story of Spierings…

We all know it: the tower crane is the crane of all cranes. Even as a child, you knew that — if you ever drew a crane, it automatically became a tower crane. Spierings knew it too. That’s why, back in the 1980s, they took on the bold challenge of making that very tower crane mobile. So they put it on wheels. Because then you combine — as Spierings put it perfectly — the two best features a crane can have.

Spierings as pioneer and founder

That pursuit of the maximum possible transformed the tower crane into a completely new crane: the Spierings crane. The mobile tower crane was born.

And then suddenly a whole new world opened up. Literally. Because all of a sudden, how much more you can achieve when you combine mobility with the best crane model on earth.

A Spierings crane, the workhorse among cranes. Some eighty per cent of all lifting jobs worldwide are on a mobile tower crane. Spierings focuses on ease of use, durability and safety. So you get the most out of one and the same crane.

Lift to the Max.

More than a brand,
an experience

But Spierings is more than just a name on a crane. It is a feeling. At Spierings, you are not a number. Whether you are a customer, colleague or supplier, the door is always open for a cup of coffee and a good conversation.

At Spierings, they never stand still – just like the world around us. That world is changing and tomorrow’s challenges demand more than innovation: they demand sustainability. Climate change, scarcer raw materials and stricter emission standards make it generously clear that the sector cannot be left behind. Spierings is the very first – and only – manufacturer of all-electric mobile tower cranes in the world.

The first manufacturer to switch entirely to electric cranes

Minimal CO₂ emissions, quieter operation and lower operating costs. A crane that not only meets the tightening emission standards, but also anticipates what is to come. With the eLift models, Spierings takes the best of both worlds to the next level. A solution that is not only future-proof, but also indispensable for a world that really wants to build sustainably. A ‘mission to zero-emission’.

The world is changing, and Spierings is changing with it. What started with adding wheels to a tower crane is now evolving into an emission-free future. We set the standard for trouble-free and emission-free lifting: anywhere, anytime, anyhow. In this way, we continue to build not only the skyline, but also a more sustainable world – literally and figuratively.
