Mammoet has designed the SK6000 for use in the offshore wind industry.

Mammoet currently has more than 10 ring cranes in place to serve this market, and the new SK6000 will add even more capacity for the industry, currently bogged down with challenging supply chain, production, and handling issues, to move forward.
The SK6000 can be operated entirely on electric power, reducing the carbon footprint of customer projects, Mammoet said. By using Mammoet’s SPMT power pack system, a fully electric land-based marshalling and load-out scope is now possible.
The crane will be capable of lifting 3,000-ton components at a 220 m hook height, and it will have a maximum radius of 144 m. Sheer lifting power will give the SK6000 the ability to take on lifts in the 3,000- to 6,000-t range – for example, suction bucket jackets, XXL monopiles, and floating wind foundations that support the turbines.
