Sarens deploys its SPMTs to transport and load-out the Nelcon cranes weighing 200T each amid the Covid-19 pandemic.  

The cranes known as Port of Workington’s Nelcon Cranes have been operating on the port since the early 80s. These fixed-rail portal cranes eventually had limited use in the port. According to the company the cranes had to be moved to the Teesside which is a busier port and the cranes can be put to better use for the transport of coal.

The two dock pedestal cranes weighing 200T were moved and offloaded whilst the tide was high. SPMTs were used to maneuver them safely into position and finally loaded-out on the Terra Marique barge and safely travelled by barge for seven days, arriving at Tees Commerce Park Dock.
