The new SGC-120/1
The company says the crane offers up to 45 percent higher capacities in some some parts of the chart, compared to the SGC-120. It features multiple main boom configurations of 88.7, 118 or 130 metres, while a 'light duty' jib extends to 89.5 metres, and heavy duty jib configurations range from 40.5 to 99.5 metres. The crane operates with 96 wheel bogies and can be configured with either 3,600 or 4,200 tonnes of counterweight.

Assembly time is between four and five weeks and it maintains the same footprint as its predecessor, with an outer ring diameter of 38.5 metres, extending to 44 metres when the ground mats are included.
Developed at the company's Wolvertem research & development facility i Belgium, the crane has been engineered to tackle the demand for higher lift capacities without increasing set up space or working footprint, including offshore wind farms, petrochemical facilities, infrastructure work and nuclear power stations.
The SGC-120/1 joins the other Sarensa Ring cranes, theall-electric SGC-90 and the SGC-250, currently working at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant construction site.
