XCMG Launches a Comprehensive Crane Fleet for Sarens in Belgium
In a significant step forward for the global construction and heavy-lifting industry, XCMG Hoisting Machinery Division announced the successful delivery of an integrated lifting solution to Belgium's Sarens Group. Renowned as one of the world's largest providers of crane rental and heavy-lift transportation, Sarens has tightened its operational capabilities with this comprehensive crane fleet. This delivery includes an array of state-of-the-art machinery, featuring the XCA160H all-terrain cranes, XCR90 rough terrain cranes, and the flagship XLC18000M crawler crane.
Partnership Background
The critical delivery follows a collaborative agreement reached in March 2026, where XCMG and Sarens entered into a bulk purchase contract aimed at enhancing cooperation on multiple fronts. This includes areas such as product development, field applications, intelligent technologies, and lifecycle services, nurturing an already solidified global partnership initiated at bauma 2025 in Germany.
Meeting High Standards
Wim Sarens, CEO of Sarens NV, expressed his confidence in XCMG equipment during XCMG’s 8th International Customer Festival, stating, “We are now using XCMG equipment in more than 20 countries and are very satisfied with the quality and reliability. Their cranes have proven themselves in demanding projects around the world.” This testimonial highlights the high standards of performance and reliability that Sarens has set, and by utilizing XCMG's advanced technologies, they aim to maintain these benchmarks.
The XLC18000M Crawler Crane
At the forefront of the delivery is the XLC18000M, a powerful crawler crane engineered for extensive wind energy projects, petrochemical operations, and heavy bridge work. Its design emphasizes high lifting capacity and quick mobilization, making it a premier choice for large-scale infrastructure undertakings. This crane's capabilities align perfectly with the increasing demands for efficient lifting solutions in challenging environments.
The All-Terrain and Rough Terrain Options
Complementing the XLC18000M, the fleet also includes the XCA3000 all-terrain crane and the XCR90 rough terrain crane. The XCA3000, already deployed in numerous international wind farms, effectively addresses challenges like load-chart derating at elevation and heavy-load relocations, thereby optimizing lift and efficiency under various conditions. Together, these cranes form a comprehensive solution suited for major infrastructure projects worldwide, particularly those focused on renewable energy.
A New Era of Integrated Solutions
XCMG's transition from merely exporting machinery to providing integrated lifting solutions exemplifies their commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. By focusing on cutting-edge technology and intelligent manufacturing processes, the company has enhanced its reputation in premium markets — further establishing trust and long-term partnerships necessary for supporting green energy developments globally.
As XCMG continues to evolve, its dedication to engineering excellence and creating value for clients remains at the heart of their operations, paving the way for further advancements in the lifting and construction sectors. This recent delivery to Sarens is not just a milestone for XCMG; it represents a broader ambition for sustainable growth in the heavy-lifting industry on a global scale.
