Kran Saller GmbH

What Kran Saller GmbH does

Kran Saller GmbH is a privately held German crane rental and heavy-logistics service provider headquartered in Deggendorf, Bavaria, operating under the trade name KRAN SALLER. The business concentrates on the eastern Bavarian region (ostbayerischer Raum) and addresses industrial, construction, infrastructure, and fleet-operator demand for heavy lifting, oversized transport, recovery, and assembly. The company markets itself as one of the leading heavy-load providers in the region, with 58+ years of operating history.

The company operates a diversified fleet spanning telescopic mobile cranes (including a 450/500-ton class LTM 1450-8.1), the LIEBHERR MK-series mobile construction cranes, the LTR 1100 crawler crane, Maeda MC 405 CRM mini cranes, glass suction devices rated to 600 kg, work platforms, and non-marking-tire forklifts. Supporting services include heavy and special transport up to 250 tons towing load, 24-hour recovery via the Mercedes "Bison" recovery vehicle, CAD-based lift planning, industrial assembly up to 100 tons per piece, and warehousing / storage. Certifications include TÜV SÜD SCC** (safety) and DIN ISO 9001 (quality management), valid through October 24, 2026.

The revenue model is project-based rental and services with custom quote-based pricing; no standard rates are publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on phone contact, email, and the company's bilingual website, with no evidence of digital marketing or social selling. Despite a small reported headcount of approximately 5 employees, the company has executed flagship-scale projects such as the May 2026 assembly of the Potain MDT 1609, the largest topless construction crane in Europe, suggesting reliance on a lean core team supported by operational subcontractors and significant capital equipment.

Others

• Liebherr-International AG: Manufacturer of mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and tower cranes (including models Kran Saller operates, such as the LTM 1450-8.1 and MK series). Not a direct competitor but a key supplier and ecosystem participant.

Direct peers

• Riga Mainz GmbH & Co. KG: German heavy and special transport company with crane capabilities, directly competing for the same oversized-load and industrial relocation projects Kran Saller serves.
• HKV Herrmann Krane-Vermietung GmbH: German crane rental company offering mobile cranes, heavy transport, and assembly services across multiple regions. Comparable to Kran Saller in service mix (rental + transport + assembly) and target customer base (construction and industrial).
• Thömen Kran-Vermietung GmbH & Co. KG: German crane rental and heavy haul specialist (part of the Hüffermann group). Overlaps directly with Kran Saller on mobile cranes, heavy transport, and industrial assembly projects.
• Wasel GmbH: Cologne-based crane rental company with a broad fleet of mobile and crawler cranes serving construction and industrial clients. Comparable in service breadth and target verticals.
• BKL Baukran Logistik GmbH: One of Germany's largest crane rental specialists offering mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and tower cranes. Directly comparable to Kran Saller in core telescopic and mobile crane rental services, though operating at a much larger national scale.

Broad incumbents

• Sarens NV: Global heavy lifting and engineered transport specialist. Competes for the largest crane and transport projects (e.g., 1,600 meter-ton class) but at international scale rather than regional German focus.
• Felbermayr Transport und Hebetechnik GmbH: Austrian-headquartered heavy lifting and transport group with significant German operations. Operates a much broader portfolio (cranes, heavy haul, civil engineering) but competes for the same high-capacity heavy lift projects.
• Mammoet Holding B.V. World-leading heavy lifting and transport company. Overlaps with Kran Saller on heavy transport, assembly, and high-capacity crane work but serves a global, industrial-scale customer base.

Regional players

• Colgar S.r.l. Italian crane rental and heavy transport specialist. Comparable in service model (mobile and crawler crane rental plus special transport) but operating in a different European geography from Kran Saller.
