Germany remains one of Europe’s most active markets for onshore wind energy, and Sarens is at the forefront, providing specialised crane solutions for turbine erection. With wind turbine sizes increasing - reaching up to 7MW with hub heights of 179m - the demand for heavy-lift, wind-dedicated cranes has never been greater. Since 2012, Sarens has been supporting onshore wind projects across the country, leveraging its fleet of high-capacity cranes and extensive expertise in turbine installation. Today, Sarens in Poland, also known as Sarens Polska, leads these efforts, executing projects with a dedicated fleet and long-term contracts with key wind energy providers.

Sarens’ involvement spans both unloading operations and main turbine installation. For unloading, the company deploys 250T and 200T mobile cranes to safely handle turbine components upon arrival. The main installation process relies on lattice boom cranes supported by auxiliary cranes, ensuring precision and efficiency in assembling the towering structures. Looking ahead to 2025-2026, Sarens has already secured a strong fleet for upcoming projects, including two crane lines consisting of the CC3800 LF4 paired with a 160T mobile crane, three crane lines featuring the CC3800 LF14 with a 200T mobile crane, and two additional crane lines utilising the LG1750SX with a 200T mobile crane. Further fleet expansions are also under negotiation, with plans to introduce an LG1800-1 and an LR1800-1 to meet increasing project demands.

Collaboration with leading wind turbine manufacturers has been instrumental in reinforcing Sarens’ position as a trusted partner in the wind sector. Long-term agreements and strategic partnerships across Germany have strengthened Sarens' presence, contributing to a steady increase in turbine installations year after year. In 2023, Sarens installed 39 wind turbines, followed by 40 in 2024. Looking ahead, the demand for onshore wind projects is set to rise sharply, with 100 turbines expected in 2025 and 120 in 2026. As projects continue to scale in both size and frequency, Germany remains a priority market for Sarens’ wind operations, further solidifying its role in the country’s renewable energy expansion.

To support this growing market, a highly skilled team of operators, riggers, truck drivers, engineers, logistics specialists, site managers, and project managers are involved in the successful execution of these complex projects. Their expertise ensures the safe and efficient installation of wind turbines, meeting the increasing demands of the industry. With over a decade of experience, a dedicated fleet of specialised cranes, and strong partnerships across the sector, Sarens stands as a go-to provider for onshore wind projects in Germany. As the sector evolves, Sarens remains committed to investing in cutting-edge equipment and expertise, ensuring continued success in one of Europe’s most dynamic wind energy markets.
