Keep Palfinger Cranes Operational Globally

Palfinger: From Workshop to Offshore Pioneer

Founded in 1932 in Austria, Palfinger began as a small workshop and grew into a global powerhouse in lifting technology. By the 1980s, Palfinger was constructing underwater cranes for offshore drilling rigs, and in 1992, it launched its first marine crane. Over the years, the company expanded its offshore capabilities through acquisitions and innovation, including the integration of Dreggen AS, a specialist in shipbuilding and oil & gas cranes.

Today, Palfinger Marine offers a wide range of offshore crane models:

- Knuckle Boom Cranes for high-load offshore lifting

- Foldable Knuckle Boom Cranes for compact deck spaces

- Telescopic Boom Cranes for flexible reach

- Wire Luffing Lattice Boom Cranes for extended outreach

- AHC Cranes with Active Heave Compensation for subsea operations

- Fully Electric Jib and Travelling Cranes for unmanned platforms

These cranes are deployed on oil platforms, wind substations, and support vessels worldwide.
