Lifting Construction Spirits with Spierings Mobile Cranes

Anyone who has ever conducted a difficult heavy lift in a space restricted area knows just how much time and effort can go into preparing the lift. They’ll also know that time, for constructors just like everyone else, is money – and that the process of building a static crane at the right height and in the right place for a lift, and of making it safe, and ready to work, can be agonisingly slow and expensive. A Spierings mobile crane is the answer to every situation of this nature.

There are plenty of mobile lifting solutions. Spierings cranes are among the best – the most versatile, the quickest to put in place and the mobile solution capable of lifting the biggest tonnage at the most versatile set of ranges.

The Spierings mobile lifting unit comes in a variety of sizes, usually denoted by the number of axles the machine is built with. The more axles it has, the longer, and therefore the bigger it is. Even the longer Spierings mobile crane units are capable of getting into some incredibly tight spaces. A seven axle Spierings unit can turn a right angled corner into a single lane road in Central London.

City lifting is made a whole lot easier when you hire a Spierings. The mobile units made by Spierings can be set up in just 15 minutes – which means fewer lengthy road block situations and much less general disruption to city traffic.

A Spierings mobile crane can be set up in very narrow roads (like the one lane road mentioned above). In addition, the Spierings is able to reach places that other cranes just can’t get at, with its long telescopic boom.

Even with a long reach setup, a Spierings mobile lifting unit is able to lift 1.7 tonnes. At an extension of 60 metres, that’s a lot of upward lift over a very wide reach.

This kind of mobile lifting unit is normally fitted with flood lights and noise limiters, for quiet night time working. That is another massive advantage for city contractors. When working at night there is less disruption than during the day – so really space sensitive lifts can be carried out during darkness hours by a Spierings mobile crane, which can come in, set up in quarter of an hour and make all the lifts required at a very low volume.

Because the Spierings mobile lifting unit is so compact for its lifting power, and has such a low profile, the operator can always see the exact position of the load. That makes the Spierings, in addition to being quick and convenient to use, one of the safest lifting solutions in the business.

In the midrange of the boom arm’s reach, the Spierings mobile crane can lift an extraordinary tonnage. A seven axle Spierings is capable of safely and easily lifting five and a half tonnes at a radius of 42 metres.

City lifts often require a combination of speed, agility, low profile and an ability to work at night. As you can see, the Spierings mobile unit covers all of these bases with ease.
