When progress demands power, Sarens rises to the challenge.

Meet the SGC‑170, the newest addition to our legendary super‑heavy lift fleet—and one of the most powerful land‑based cranes in the world. With a 170.000 tonne‑metre load moment and a 3.200 tonnes lifting capacity, the SGC‑170 is a true titan, second only to our legendary SGC‑250—which held the record as the largest land‑based crane on the planet for six years.

But this isn’t just another crane. It’s a leap forward.

Designed entirely in‑house, the SGC‑170 is fully electric, zero‑emissions, and engineered for the future. It combines sustainability with uncompromising lifting power, making it ideal for the heaviest lifts on the tightest job sites around the globe. Its modular electric drivetrain—developed by Sarens’ own engineering team—delivers maximum performance with minimal energy use.

“Ten years ago, plugging a crane like this into the grid would’ve been unthinkable,” says Matthias, Head of Design at Sarens. “Now, we’ve built a machine that’s not only more efficient and sustainable, but one that’s ready for the most demanding jobs, anywhere in the world.”
The SGC‑170 was engineered to evolve. Every detail is designed for efficiency, transportability and adaptability:

Fewer connections and larger components enable faster mobilisation and assembly.
A reinforced frame allows for relocation in under a week.
The main boom with jib can lift 1.300 tonnes at over 200 metres height—a feat of precision and strength.
Its modular configuration can be tailored to client requirements. Call it engineering on demand.
From first sketch to final lift, the SGC‑170 is 100 % Sarens—designed by the same team behind our most iconic cranes, built with decades of field‑tested innovation in mind.

Built in 2025. Born for the future.
Because when the world needs heavy lifting, they call team blue—
and we rise to the challenge.
