The Dutch crane manufacturer van Haagen Kraanbouw B.V. builds heavy duty and portal cranes, one of its specialities is lattice girders. Its customers include companies from the structural steel sector, road and tunnel construction, ship-building, concrete plants and field factories – in Holland and all around the world. This traditional company, which also used competitors’ hoists in the past, decided on STAHL CraneSystems some years ago and has since used solely high-quality crane technology “made in Hohenlohe”. Van Haagen is assisted locally by our Dutch crane manufacturing partner CraneSolutions B.V.

One international project brought van Haagen and CraneSolutions to Balbriggan near Dublin, Republic of Ireland, where Techrete Ltd. was building its new Irish headquarters. Techrete Ltd. is the leading developer and manufacturer of prefabricated cladding for architectural applications on the British and Irish market. The building was constructed solely from prefabricated elements following the latest architectural standards. On the exterior, a semi-portal crane from Haagen B.V., spanning 50 m and equipped with STAHL CraneSystems technology, runs along the building. Two SHR6025 wire rope hoists with 10 t S.W.L. permit a lifting height of 14 meters. In addition to standard functions such as lifting/lowering, cross and long travel, the crab has a slewing drive and it is possible to operate both wire rope hoists in synch.
