Oss, September 2023 – Bob Bruijsten, director and owner of family-owned Kuiphuis from Oldenzaal is investing in two new SK2400-R eLift crawler cranes from Spierings. The first new crane of this model will be delivered to Kuiphuis in the first half of 2024. With this, Kuiphuis is once again stepping up the sustainability of there crane fleet.
Within Kuiphuis, five eLift cranes have already been added to the fleet in recent years to meet the demand for electric construction equipment. Bob Bruijsten: “We may be moving faster than construction companies at the moment, we find that construction companies are still getting used to the fact that with electric cranes of this size we can already run on construction with a 16 amp connection.”
In addition, Bob Bruijsten sees it as everyone’s responsibility to make the maximum effort to save emissions.” If we already look at how many hours we run emission-free every week, that just makes me proud. In addition, both new machines are much needed, we have requests from all over the country for the eLift system, specifically for the SK2400-R capabilities.”
Kuiphuis has a fleet of more than 40 Spierings cranes including several crawler cranes. Kuiphuis notices that the demand for these types of cranes is increasing. The loads are getting heavier and more and more elements are supplied prefabricated, which as a crane rental company you have to respond to.
Mathieu Braamhaar, Sales Engineer at Spierings Mobile Cranes BV; “Kuiphuis is a wonderful family business which invests in the future, the fact that they are now the first to operate with our new SK2400-R eLift is a great milestone. The SK2400-R eLift is a further development of the SK2400-R which we have been producing for some time. However, the new crane has multiple configurations for lifting. With one transport you already have a lifting capacity of 2800 kg at 42 meters. This has made the crane multifunctional.”
About SK2400-R eLiftThe SK2400-R eLift is the strongest mobile tower crane ever built. This powerful crane is built on a crawler undercarriage, so it can be quickly erected and moved around the construction site.The crane has a jib length of 42 meters or 50 meters, lifting up to 5.5 tons or 2.5 tons at the tip. In addition, the crane hoists a maximum of 18 tons at 14.6 meters radius.

Le fabricant de grue Spierings opte pour le levage exclusivement électrique
Spierings Mobile Cranes renonce aux grues conventionnelles au diesel
Spierings Mobile Cranes cesse la production et la vente de grues diesel conventionnelles. Dorénavant, le constructeur renommé, basé à Oss aux Pays-Bas, ne construira plus que des modèles hybrides écoresponsables. Spierings devient ainsi le premier constructeur du monde à ne produire que des grues qui lèvent à l’électricité. En outre, le dernier modèle, la SK487-AT3 City Boy, peut également fonctionner de manière entièrement électrique, ce qui permet de réduire complètement les émissions locales. Cette grue électrique permet un fonctionnement sans émissions dans n’importe quelle ville.
Ce choix est suscité par la croissance en flèche des grues hybrides et par la volonté de s’engager pour l’humain, la nature et l’environnement. « Électrifier les chantiers n’est possible qu’à condition que les fabricants prennent les devants, » explique Koos Spierings, PDG de l’entreprise. « Notre clientèle aux Pays-Bas a déjà compris que c’est la voie de l’avenir. Dans d’autres pays, nos clients vont devoir s’y habituer, mais nous sommes convaincus qu’ils réaliseront très vite les avantages de ce choix. Les grues conventionnelles au diesel sont vouées à l’extinction. »
Batteries aux ions de lithium
Les grues à tour de Spierings Mobile Cranes sont équipées de batteries aux ions de lithium, on peut donc les mettre en service zéro émissions sur le chantier. La grue a un petit moteur de secours, un Diesel à 3 cylindres, conforme à la nouvelle norme stage V. À ce jour, Spierings Mobile Cranes a déjà livré plus de 150 grues électriques, connues sous l’appellation eLift.
Innovation et durabilité
Les avantages du chantier zéro émissions sautent aux yeux, selon Spierings. « Pas d’émissions de CO2, beaucoup moins de bruit, mais pas moins de puissance. Et si le grutier doit mettre en marche le Diesel de secours? La consommation de carburant sera la plus faible possible. Nous démontrons ainsi la synergie de l’esprit d’entreprise, de l’innovation et de l’écoresponsabilité. »
Spierings Mobile Cranes poursuit le développement de la technologie hybride. Ainsi, toutes ses grues actuelles peuvent fonctionner avec zéro émissions grâce à une prise de courant de chantier 16 ampère. Spierings est également l’unique fabricant dont les grues sortent de l’usine équipées d’une batterie aux ions de lithium de 33 kWh.
