most extensive crane and heavy lifting fleets, and its Southern African operation is no exception. “Within Africa, Sarens is active in eight countries and employs around 300 people,” explains Biesemans. “Our regional fleet includes close to 20 crawler cranes ranging from 100 to 800 tonnes, almost 80 all-terrain cranes from 30 to 500 tonnes, and a combined fleet of over 100 axle lines of SPMT K24 and K25.” In addition, the company’s transport capabilities include multi-axle and extendable trailers, lowbeds, and other abnormal transport solutions, complemented by a range of material-handling equipment. The scale and diversity of the fleet enable Sarens to tackle complex, large-scale projects across industries - from construction and mining to energy and port logistics. “One of our main advantages,” notes Biesemans, “is that if we detect a specific need that we cannot immediately meet with the cranes available locally, we can move the necessary units from anywhere else in the world. Our customers always have access to the machinery they need, regardless of the project’s size or duration.” Technology and training: the human factor While Sarens’ equipment stands at the cutting edge of engineering, Biesemans believes that the true
