- What are Cranes?
- Cranes provide lifting and cargo handling capabilities on vessels. Common types include Deck Cranes (for general cargo operations; with knuckle or stiff boom configurations) and Offshore Cranes (designed for dynamic offshore operations with heave compensation; may have knuckle boom folding capability).
- What are the different types of Cranes?
- Common types include Deck Cranes, Offshore Cranes, Knuckle Boom Cranes.
- What standards apply to Cranes?
- Products in this category typically reference DNV-ST-0378:2021. Offshore cranes typically also reference API 2C. Classification society approval is typically required.
- Buyer requirements
- Procurement typically requires SWL at Maximum Outreach (t @ m) to match expected cargo weights and operational reach requirements. For Deck Cranes, Boom Type (Knuckle; Stiff) is critical. Maximum Outreach (m), Lifting Speed (m/min), Slewing Speed (rpm), Power Source (Electric; Hydraulic), and Operating Voltage/Hydraulic Pressure are critical for operational compatibility and capacity planning. Offshore cranes typically require Offshore Rating (Significant Wave Height), Dynamic Load Factor, and Active Heave Compensation (Y; N) specifications.
