The story of Spierings…
Spierings was founded on one simple but revolutionary idea: what if the world’s most efficient crane could also become fully mobile? In the 1980s, Spierings transformed the traditional tower crane by placing it on wheels — combining the reach and lifting capacity of a tower crane with the flexibility of a mobile crane. The result was a completely new category in the lifting industry: the mobile tower crane.
Spierings as pioneer and founder
This innovation changed the market forever. By combining mobility, speed, and efficiency in one machine, Spierings created a crane capable of handling the majority of lifting operations on construction sites worldwide. Today, Spierings mobile tower cranes are recognized for their ease of use, reliability, safety, and sustainable performance — delivering maximum efficiency from a single crane.
At Spierings, innovation has always gone hand in hand with practicality. Every crane is designed to simplify daily operations, reduce setup times, and maximize productivity on site. This practical mindset, combined with decades of engineering expertise, has made Spierings a trusted partner for crane rental companies and construction professionals across the globe.
More than a brand, an experience
But Spierings is more than just a crane manufacturer. It is a company built on long-term relationships, craftsmanship, and a strong family culture. Customers, colleagues, and partners are all part of the Spierings story — a company where personal contact, accessibility, and collaboration remain at the heart of everything.
The first manufacturer to switch entirely to electric cranes
As the industry evolves, Spierings continues to lead the way towards a more sustainable future. The company is the world’s first and only manufacturer fully focused on electric mobile tower cranes. With the introduction of the eLift models, Spierings combines powerful lifting performance with minimal emissions, quieter operation, and lower operating costs — setting a new standard for sustainable lifting solutions.
What started with adding wheels to a tower crane has grown into a global vision for the future of lifting. Today, Spierings continues to push boundaries with one clear ambition: delivering efficient, reliable, and emission-free lifting solutions — anywhere, anytime, anyhow.
