How to Convert a Crane to Heave Compensation

The first step in converting a standard crane to an AHC crane is the design and installation of the active heave compensation system. Conbit’s engineers develop a system tailored to the specifications of your crane, incorporating hardware like advanced actuators, motion sensors, and control units. This ensures the system can accurately counteract vessel movements caused by waves, maintaining stable load handling even in dynamic sea conditions.

Next, the hydraulic or electric systems must be upgraded to support precise, controlled movements essential for AHC functionality. This involves enhancing the power systems and ensuring compatibility between the new components and the existing crane infrastructure. The system is then integrated seamlessly into the crane’s operations.

Finally, extensive testing and commissioning are performed to verify that the crane operates flawlessly with its new AHC capability. This includes fine-tuning the system for optimal performance, testing under simulated conditions, and training operators to safely and efficiently use the upgraded crane.
