Mammoet once again tops ranking of International Cranes
Jun 21, 2018
Last week International Cranes and Specialized Transport published its annual ranking of the world’s largest crane-owning companies. The ‘IC50’, as this list is referred to, ranks crane-owning companies according to the cumulative lifting capacity of their cranes, measured in tonmeters. Mammoet’s combined capacity adds up to almost three million tonmeters. Their fleet totals 1,250 cranes. This number consists of a range of mobile cranes and crawler cranes, as well as special-purpose cranes which the company has developed in-house, including the Mammoet Terminal Crane (MTC 15), and their Ring Cranes, such as the PTC 200 DS.
Jan Kleijn, Chief Operational Officer: “What counts most for us is that we provide safe, reliable and efficient services to our customers, worldwide. Mammoet’s investment policy is aimed at the ability to serve our customers anywhere. We want to be able to mobilize professionals and equipment swiftly and scale up operations if needed. The size of our fleet and the number of depots we have worldwide reflect that philosophy. All our equipment is subject to strict maintenance programs in order to ensure their safety and reliability.”
Whats this about?
It is the “uncontained” shipments that draw a lifetime allegiance of purveyors of the business. As one MPV (Multi Purpose Vessel) analyst bluntly said as an aside, “Boxes are boring.”
