XCMG and Sarens Join Forces to Revolutionize Heavy Lifting with Advanced Crane Deliveries

Pioneering Heavy Lifting: The Collaboration between XCMG and Sarens

In a significant advancement in the heavy lifting sector, XCMG Machinery Co. Ltd. has formed a strategic partnership with Sarens, a global leader in crane rental and heavy lifting services. This collaboration aims to enhance operational efficiency and redefine standards in the lift services domain. Recently, the partnership celebrated a milestone by successfully delivering the first batch of advanced all-terrain cranes, specifically the XCA250G7-1E, designed for the demands of the European market.

The XCA250G7-1E: A Beacon of Innovation

The XCA250G7-1E model is an engineering marvel, featuring a five-axle configuration with a remarkable lifting capacity of 250 tons. This cutting-edge crane not only illustrates XCMG's commitment to innovation but also sets a new standard in machinery excellence. By integrating advanced technology, the XCA250G7-1E is poised to address the complex challenges associated with heavy lifting operations, allowing for exceptional precision, reliability, and efficiency.

As part of the innovative design, the XCA250G7-1E employs several smart technologies that drastically improve usability and safety. One notable feature is its variable support technology, enabling operators to select the required length for each stabilizer—25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%—based on site conditions. This flexibility is crucial for managing space constraints and navigating complex terrains often encountered on construction sites.

In addition to the variable support, the crane is equipped with an automatic counterweight hooking system. By detecting the angle and position of the counterweight, this system allows for automatic engagement at the touch of a button, significantly simplifying operations. This innovation not only boosts operational speed but also enhances safety awareness in lifting activities.

Another remarkable aspect of the XCA250G7-1E is its capability of safely telescoping with loads that can reach up to 40% of its nominal capacity, which broadens the working range and improves efficiency by 30% to 50%. These features have proven critical for operators, particularly at a time when skilled labor is increasingly scarce.

Operators' Feedback: Meeting Real-World Needs

The reception from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. A British customer praised the single-operator intelligent control system that integrates a user-friendly touchscreen interface akin to a smartphone. The convenience of intuitive feedback and controls enhances productivity in a market grappling with workforce shortages. Meanwhile, a German client commended the crane's impeccable construction and spacious, tech-savvy cabin, emphasizing features like panoramic views that significantly improve visibility. A Dutch client highlighted the user-friendly design of the XCA series, noting enhancements that lead to a 40% increase in visibility due to its panoramic windshield and ergonomic control console.

A Strong Partnership for Future Growth

“This partnership with Sarens marks a new chapter in our mission to deliver the best solutions for heavy lifting and construction projects,” said Rafael Romao, XCMG Europe's Sales Director. He emphasized that the XCA250G7-1E exemplifies the company’s commitment to providing innovative and high-performing machines tailored for the global market.

The strategic cooperation agreement between XCMG and Sarens establishes a robust foundation for long-term collaboration. Both companies are eager to leverage their complementary strengths to enhance their global reach while driving down costs and fuelling innovation. Jan L. Sarens, a board member and commercial director of Sarens, echoed this sentiment by stating, “We take pride in aligning with XCMG, a company that shares our vision for innovation and excellence. This partnership enhances our capacity to meet the growing demands of the industry and reinforces our leadership in heavy lifting and technical transport.”

With this strategic collaboration, XCMG and Sarens are set to revolutionize the heavy lifting industry, ensuring projects worldwide can be executed with higher efficiency and effectiveness than ever before.
