Team Heavy Lift B.v.

What Team Heavy Lift B.v. does

Team Heavy Lift B.v. (THL) is a privately-held Dutch company, incorporated as a B.v. (Besloten Vennootschap) and headquartered in Heemstede, Netherlands, that delivers heavy lifting and special transport services primarily across Latin America from Mexico to Patagonia. The firm serves the renewable (predominantly wind) and conventional power industry, mining companies, and the civil contracting sector, with a stated management team carrying over 50 years of combined industry experience. THL operates through nine country offices including a regional headquarters in Santiago, Chile, and country presence in Peru, Mexico, Panama, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, and Spain.

The company's technology base is a specialized physical-asset fleet rather than software. It owns crawler and lattice boom cranes from Liebherr (LG 1750, LR 1600/2) and Demag (CC 2800-2 NT, TC 2800), mobile cranes from Grove and Demag (GMK 6300, AC 500), and modular heavy transport systems from Goldhofer and Scheuerle, including SPMTs capable of operating on inclinations up to 20% and blade lifter devices rated at 400 and 500 ton-meters for wind turbine blades up to 65 meters. This asset base, combined with in-house engineering for route surveys and load calculations, allows the firm to execute in remote and extreme environments including 2,800m altitude Andes installations, Atacama desert, and Chiloe island.

THL generates revenue through a mix of complete project contracts (engineering, mobilization, execution, demobilization), crane and equipment rental (manned or bare), specialized wind component transport, and value-added engineering services. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based with no public price list. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to wind OEMs (Siemens Gamesa, Vestas), logistics integrators (DSV Chile), EPC contractors (Hyundai E&C), and wind farm developers (WPD, Ventus). The firm secured ISO 9001 certification (UKAS) for its Chile office in 2021 with a stated objective of certifying all offices.
