Heeren Groep

What Heeren Groep does

Heeren Groep is a privately held Dutch transport and crane-rental group headquartered in Roosendaal, Netherlands, with origins dating to 1964 (per firmographics) — though company history records the establishment year as 1975 — and approximately 50–100 employees. The group is a combination of specialized subsidiaries delivering a broad package of logistical services; its operating core is Heeren Kraanverhuur (crane rental) supplemented by Heeren Reparatie & Onderhoud BV (trailer repair, maintenance, breakdown assistance, and tire service). In January 2022 the group divested its Heeren Transport horizontal-transport division to Transportcentrale Rotterdam (which established TCH Roosendaal at the same site), refocusing the business on crane rental and related vertical-transport services.

The group's offering is built around a fleet of mobile telescopic cranes, mobile tower cranes (40–400 ton lifting capacity), truck-mounted cranes (autolaadkranen) including a 2022-added Scania R500 with HIAB 105 T/M and a second autolaadkraan, mobile cranes, and specialized transport combinations. Service lines span vertical transport, special/abnormal road transport, steel transport (national and international), low-loader and tipper transport, construction transport, and waste transport (VIHB-registered). Vertically, the company serves petrochemical (pipeline transport, refinery shutdowns, machine relocations), sustainable energy/wind (rotor blade transport and O&M), infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, precast elements), construction (building logistics, modular/prefab placement), steel construction, and healthcare/residential unit placement. Operations are delivered with TCVT-certified operators under a documented safety framework (LMRA, lifting plans, setup drawings) and VCA, VVT-Erkend, CMR, AVC, and VIHB certifications.

Heeren Groep operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting large players across the verticals above, with regional focus on West-Brabant, Zeeland, and Rotterdam, and national deployment capability. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, varying by crane type/capacity, duration, distance, complexity, and permits, with no public price list; services bill on a pay-as-you-go basis. The company is led by director Mark Maaskant and is privately held with no disclosed external investors.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Koninklijke Saan: Dutch family-owned crane and transport company with crane rental, special transport, and industrial moving services. Closely comparable family-business model and mid-sized regional footprint in the Randstad/port region.

Direct peers

• Mammoet: Dutch-headquartered global leader in heavy lifting and transport, offering crane rental, engineered lifting, and modular installation services. Closest direct competitor in the heavy-lift space, with overlapping exposure to petrochemical, wind, and infrastructure end markets in the Benelux region.
• Wagenborg: Dutch logistics provider with significant heavy transport and crane capabilities, including abnormal load transport and project cargo. Comparable in service mix (crane + special transport) and Benelux focus, though with broader scope into shipping and offshore logistics.
• Van der Spek: Dutch crane rental company with a multi-decade track record in mobile crane rental and industrial lifting across the Netherlands. Closely comparable mid-sized regional crane specialist serving construction, infrastructure, and industrial customers.
• Sarens: Belgian global crane rental and heavy lifting specialist. Direct peer offering mobile and tower crane rental, special transport, and industrial relocations, competing with Heeren in petrochemical turnarounds, wind projects, and infrastructure work across the Netherlands and Belgium.
• Collé Rental & Sales: Dutch/German equipment rental and crane service provider operating across the Benelux and western Germany. Comparable in offering mobile cranes and special transport, with overlapping end-market exposure in construction and industrial projects.
• De Boer Services: Dutch provider of crane, transport, and heavy rigging services, often active in petrochemical and infrastructure projects. Comparable mid-market competitor in Benelux heavy-lift services.
• KOG Group: Netherlands-based heavy lifting and transport specialist offering crane rental, abnormal transport, and industrial relocations. Direct regional peer with similar service portfolio and customer base in construction, petrochemical, and infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Boels Rental: Leading European equipment rental company with substantial Dutch presence and a crane division. Comparable as a competitor for crane rental contracts, though primarily a generalist rental incumbent rather than a pure heavy-lift operator.
• Cramo: European equipment rental major (now part of Boels) with broad fleet including cranes and aerial platforms. Overlaps with Heeren in mobile crane rental but operates as a much larger generalist rental incumbent rather than a heavy-lift specialist.
