Huisman is renowned for its cutting-edge offshore lifting solutions, delivering some of the most advanced cranes in the industry. This page outlines Huisman's legacy, its unique crane technologies, and how Conbit supports operators of Huisman cranes with engineering, maintenance, and upgrades, leveraging the expertise of several former Huisman technicians who have joined the Conbit team in recent years.
Founded in the Netherlands, Huisman has become a global leader in heavy-lift and offshore equipment. Known for its innovative approach, Huisman introduced the pedestal-mounted cranes, mast cranes, and leg encircling cranes that revolutionized offshore lifting. These cranes are designed for ultra-deepwater operations, wind turbine installation vessels, and floating production platforms.
Huisman's offshore crane portfolio includes:
- Heavy Lift Mast Cranes (HLMC) with capacities up to 10,000 tonnes
- Subsea Knuckle Boom Cranes with active heave compensation
- Leg Encircling Cranes (LEC) for jack-up vessels
- Pedestal Mounted Offshore Cranes (PMOC) for versatile platform use
Their cranes are known for high precision, low maintenance, and integration with digital control systems for real-time monitoring and diagnostics.
Although Conbit does not hold the intellectual property for Huisman cranes, our offshore engineering team includes former Huisman technicians and service engineers, bringing deep product knowledge and hands-on experience to our service offering.
We provide:
- Reverse engineering and spare part solutions
- Structural assessments and lifting studies
- Maintenance and inspection services
- Retrofit and upgrade solutions
Whether it's a mast crane on a deepwater vessel or a leg encircling crane on a wind installation jack-up, Conbit ensures these systems remain safe, compliant, and operational, minimizing downtime and extending equipment life.
