Sarens recently completed the heavy lifting and transport of a 45-tonne tank for PVS Chemicals at the company\u2019s Ghent plant, supporting its increased production capacity. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The operation was performed in collaboration with Engineering Experts, who were responsible for engineering and project management.<\/p>\n

To execute the lift, Sarens selected an AC700 crane in HaSSL configuration (500T), a 12-line SPMT with a truck, a 70-tonne auxiliary crane, and ballast trucks. The configuration was chosen for its efficiency and adaptability to the site\u2019s limited space, where assembling the SPMT on-site would have been less practical.<\/p>\n

The AC700 was delivered and assembled the day before the lift to ensure readiness for the main operation. On the morning of the installation, the SPMT and load-spreading platforms were positioned on-site, requiring two additional transports. The tank measured 16,5 metres in height and 8,7 metres in width, and its installation posed a logistical challenge due to limited access and an underground channel that restricted crane positioning. Sarens resolved this by carefully distributing loads and stabilising the configuration with additional mats and ballast.<\/p>\n

Despite cloudy conditions on the day of execution, the operation was completed safely and within schedule. The newly installed tank will enhance production at PVS Chemicals, a global supplier of basic and specialised chemical products serving industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, iron and steel, agriculture, water treatment, and food processing.<\/p>\n

The chemical sector is a cornerstone of Belgium\u2019s economy, generating \u20ac75 billion in revenue, accounting for one-third of national exports, and creating nearly 100.000 direct jobs. The country ranks as the third-largest chemical exporter in the European Union, with \u20ac62 billion in exports in 2024, according to Eurostat.<\/p>\n

At a time of steady growth and innovation in this sector, Sarens continues to play a key role in supporting the infrastructure behind Belgium\u2019s industrial success. With its extensive fleet of state-of-the-art cranes, specialised transport equipment, and highly skilled teams, Sarens provides tailor-made solutions for complex lifting and transport operations.<\/p>\n
