Van den Heuvel is introducing an innovative first: the Sennebogen 653 crawler telescopic crane, equipped with a 100% electric drive system combined with a smart range extender. This cutting-edge solution offers the best of both worlds: completely emission-free operation wherever possible, without compromising on operational readiness, power, or flexibility.
The Sennebogen 653 was developed for projects where sustainability and performance must go hand in hand. Thanks to its fully electric drive system, the crane can operate emission-free at sites where environmental requirements are becoming increasingly stringent, such as inner-city projects and industrial environments. At the same time, it eliminates the need for a heavy-duty power connection, which significantly increases its versatility.
A smart combination of electric and conventional
What makes this crawler crane unique is its integrated range extender, which is an efficient Stage V diesel engine. This engine serves solely as a backup when needed—for example, during extended operations or when charging is temporarily unavailable. This ensures the machine remains continuously operational, without any downtime.
Projects can continue without interruption, while at the same time making every effort to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. This makes the Sennebogen 653 not only a sustainable choice, but also an economically sound investment.
Available for rent
With a focus on the environment and fuel efficiency, the Sennebogen 653 offers a sustainable solution for a wide range of projects. This model is the first Sennebogen Type 653 to be converted in this way, marking an important step toward emission-free operation in practice. Both the hybrid version and the fully electric variant are available for rent—a powerful duo, ideal for testing in the field or for meeting temporary capacity needs. With the introduction of this crane, Van den Heuvel underscores its ambition to actively contribute to making projects more sustainable and to carry them out in a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient manner—without compromising on capacity or continuity.
