Introducing SGC‑170: A New Giant Crane by Sarens 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. Read more about SGC-170 here.

🗓️ 2005 👷 The Third Generation at the Helm By 2005, the torch had been fully passed. Five cousins—Hendrik, Benny, Jan, Marc, and Ludo Sarens—stood together at the helm of a company they had helped grow from legacy into leadership. They weren’t just family. They were engineers. Innovators. Visionaries who carried the weight of a name that meant something—not just to them, but to hundreds of clients, thousands of workers, and industries around the world. This rare photo captures more than a moment. It captures the soul of a generation that turned Sarens into a global force. And it honours the late Jan Sarens and Benny Sarens —two men whose brilliant legacy left an imprint on everything we do. #Sarensturns70 #NothingTooHeavy #TheBestIsYetToCome

We're proud to support the progress of Ineos Project ONE, where our team recently lifted and positioned a 60-metre-high, 700-tonne C2 splitter – a key milestone for the site. This massive component was handled with precision using our impressive LR 12500 – Strong Sofie, showcasing the power and expertise behind complex heavy lifting operations. Always a pleasure to work alongside the dedicated team at INEOS BELGIUM on such a landmark project. Well done to everyone involved! #NothingTooHeavy #ProjectONE #HeavyLifting #LR12500 #StrongSofie #INEOS
Een kolos van een kolom voor het betere destillatiewerk 💪What’s cooking at Project ONE? Afgelopen week werd met succes de C2 splitter gehesen op de werf van Project ONE. Het zoveelste huzarenstukje, want met het hijsen en correct positioneren van deze ‘kolos van een kolom’ van 60 meter hoog en een gewicht van meer dan 700 ton, ging alweer heel wat precisiewerk en vakmanschap gepaard. 👨🍳Deze C2 splitter speelt een belangrijke rol in het kraakproces en bevindt zich aan het einde van de productieketen. Het kraakgas dat in de ovens wordt gevormd, heeft dan al een reeks zuiveringen doorgemaakt, zodat enkel een mengsel van ethaan en ethyleen overblijft. In deze destillatiekolom worden beide van elkaar gescheiden op basis van hun verschillend kookpunt. Het eindresultaat is 99,9% zuiver ethyleen dat via de pijpleiding en andere producenten wordt omgezet in tal van producten die bijdragen tot onze levenskwaliteit!

🗓️ 1988 👨👩👧👦 The Legacy Gathers In 1935, they stood as children beside their father, Frans Sarens—just a family in a small Belgian village, unaware of the legacy they were about to build. By 1988, those same twelve children had grown into the backbone of a business that was no longer just local… but legendary. They weren’t just siblings anymore. They were visionaries and building blocks of the Sarens DNA. Each one had played a part in shaping what Sarens had become: A global name. A family-driven powerhouse. A company lifting the world. This image isn’t just a reunion. It’s the moment a vision comes full circle. #Sarensturns70 #NothingTooHeavy #TheBestIsYetToCome

Transition Pieces on the Move! Another milestone in offshore wind development as transition pieces are being transported and installed offshore. These massive components connect wind turbine towers to their foundations and moving them requires heavy lifting precision, coordination, and innovation at scale. Kudos to all the teams involved in making this possible, especially in challenging offshore environments. Each piece delivered brings us one step closer to cleaner energy for all.
