![]() ![]() ![]() The crane has ten winches: six are load hoisting winches (4 for the main hoist and two for the jib hook) while the other four are boom hoisting winches. The SGC-250 receives an EN ISO 13849-1 safety standard rating of ‘PL E’ – which Sarens says is the highest performance level possible. The SGC-250 has a full redundancy system for slewing and hoisting operations, in which all 12 of the 310 kW, Tier 4 compliant Caterpillar engines (contained in six power packs) are connected. Sarens said this ability to relocate fully rigged is an industry first.Īccording to Sarens, safety was a key focus when designing the crane. To do this, the crane has two sets of wheels: one for slewing (360 degrees) and one travelling, which hydraulically extend into position when required. ![]() Job site coverage is further increased by the crane’s ability to relocate fully rigged from one lifting position to another. The crane’s main hook block weighs 105 tonnes and has a safe working load (SWL) of 3,200 tonnes while the jib hook weighs 58 tonnes and has a SWL of 1,600 tonnes. The SGC-250 can operate two blocks: one on the main boom and one on the jib, which enhances its jobsite coverage. The SGC-250 has been named ‘Big Carl’ in honour of technical solutions, projects and engineering director, Carl Sarens it follows the SGC-120, which was called ‘Big Benny’ after Sarens board member Benny Sarens, who died in 2017 ![]()
