Cargotec has long been a trusted name in offshore and marine load handling. This page explores the company's offshore crane legacy, particularly through its MacGregor division and how Conbit supports operators with maintenance, upgrades, and inspections. In addition to crane services, Conbit also offers support for life-saving appliances, ensuring full deck equipment reliability.
Formed in 2005 from the split of Kone Corporation, Cargotec Oyj brought together three powerhouse brands: Kalmar, Hiab, and MacGregor.
MacGregor, originally founded in 1937, became Cargotec's marine and offshore division, specializing in:
- Cargo handling cranes
- RoRo equipment
- Winches
- Offshore load handling systems
MacGregor's offshore crane portfolio includes active heave-compensated knuckle boom cranes, lattice boom cranes, and subsea load handling systems designed for harsh marine environments.
In 2025, Cargotec announced the sale of MacGregor to Triton, marking a strategic shift in its corporate structure.

- Reverse engineering and spare part solutions
