Different Crane Types Used In Offshore Industries

Different Crane Types Used in Offshore Industries

Offshore industries rely heavily on cranes for construction, maintenance, and the safe handling of heavy equipment in challenging marine environments. This page explores the most commonly used offshore crane types, highlighting specific models and manufacturers that have shaped the industry.

Pedestal Cranes: Stability and Strength

Pedestal cranes are mounted on fixed bases and are known for their stability and high lifting capacity. A leading example is the Liebherr BOS Series, particularly the BOS 4200, which offers load capacities up to 100 tons. Liebherr's cranes are engineered for precision, safety, and durability, making them ideal for fixed platforms and FPSOs.

Knuckle Boom Cranes: Flexibility in Motion

Knuckle boom cranes feature articulated arms that allow for flexible movement and compact storage. The Palfinger PK Series, including the PK 150002 MH, is widely used on offshore vessels and platforms. These cranes excel in handling complex lifting tasks in confined spaces and dynamic environments.

Telescopic Boom Cranes: Reach and Efficiency

Telescopic boom cranes offer variable reach through extendable booms, making them suitable for space-constrained offshore installations. The Huisman HLMC Series combines high lifting capacity with compact design, ideal for drilling rigs and wind turbine installation vessels.

Lattice Boom Cranes: Heavy-Duty Performance

Lattice boom cranes are built for heavy lifting and long outreach. The NOV OC4000 Series is a prime example, capable of handling loads exceeding 200 tons. These cranes are commonly used in large-scale offshore construction and decommissioning projects.
