Sarens recently completed a key project at Energía Valle de México II in Axapusco, Hidalgo, supporting the assembly of a new 65-tonne energy rotor under tight timelines and spatial constraints. 

Commissioned by EVM (Energía del Valle de México), the project began in January 2025 and involved the deployment of the powerful AC700 crane, configured to lift up to 500 tonnes. The AC700 was selected after the initially planned GMK7450 became unavailable, and it proved to be the ideal alternative, offering both the capacity and flexibility needed to work efficiently within the jobsite’s limited space.

Following an emergency request from the client, Sarens mobilised swiftly, transporting the crane from Monterrey to Axapusco in just three days. Assembly was completed in a single day, with lifting operations commencing as soon as production downtime allowed. The rotor replacement was carried out with precision, significantly enhancing the plant’s output while contributing to cleaner and more efficient energy generation for the region.

Sarens was selected not only for offering the most competitive proposal, but also for its ability to mobilise rapidly, thanks to its strong local presence. 

According to the client, the AC700 performed seamlessly, adapting perfectly to site conditions and meeting all lifting requirements.

The crane remains on site, continuing to support the installation of the new rotor as part of this critical infrastructure upgrade.
