President Obama speeches in front of Sarens Giant Crane
The SGC-120, a giant crane built by Belgium-based Sarens Group, is currently executing its first job in Phoenix, Arizona. During 8 weeks it executes heavy lifting jobs for the construction of an enormous production hall for the steel industry. The SGC-120 positions beams of 160 meter weighing 325 tons each at a radius of 156 meter. On January 25th President Obama visited this plant, one of the biggest manufacturing sites in the US.
Against the background of the SGC-120 Obama gave a speech which fitted into his five-state tour. He explained his economic plans with a focus on the creation of jobs. As this manufacturing site will create 1000 extra jobs, it was the ideal location.

President Obama said at the beginning of his speech: "I'm told that right there is the world's largest land-based crane. I decided I had to check this out for myself because honestly, first of all who wants to miss out on a chance to see the crane? That thing is huge."
For this event the SGC-120 went through a thorough security check. Among other things the containers were examined.

Introduction scale model of the SGC 120 crane on Toyfair Nurnberg
Last 
week at the Nurnberg Toyfair WSI/ Sarens introduce the scalemodel of the SGC-120 crane. On 1 February 2012, we proudly unveiled the Sarens SGC-120 scale model under the watchful eyes of the press and the Sarens project engineer. The result was truly sensational!
The 2.6 metre high model now had a prominent place on the WSI stand. After revealing the SGC-120 to the public, we are finally able to compare it to the real crane. An oft-heard comment is the incredible likeness of the scale model to the real thing. This, of course, is a wonderful compliment for WSI Models B.V.
