In Haarlem, MHM Montage<\/a><\/strong> is working on the construction of the Haarlem energy hub. This new building for Intercel<\/strong><\/a>, a leading player in battery technology, will be the largest production complex for custom battery storage in the Netherlands. The new building has a floor area of more than 8,500 m2 and meets the latest safety standards (PGS 37-2), which apply to the storage of energy carriers from the beginning of 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MHM Montage focuses on the assembly of steel structures in non-residential construction. The company has been around for almost 30 years and has an extensive fleet of machines consisting of cranes, aerial platforms, trucks and trailers. During the construction of the energy hub, MHM is placing the steel structure and the concrete floor elements. These activities are carried out with an electric Sennebogen crawler crane 653. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We speak with Arjen van Maanen, operator of the electric crawler crane and co-owner of MHM Montage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you worked with an electric crane before and how do you like it?<\/em>\u201cNo, this is the first electric crane I have worked with. The first impression is very good, it is a fine machine to work with. The controls are smooth and you can work with it for a long time. The 653 is a great machine anyway, also for transport. There is no need to disassemble parts such as ballast, which saves a lot of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What positive features do you experience?<\/em>\u201cWorking with the crane is smooth and fluid. The big advantage is that the crane is quiet and has no emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
