Ports & Marine

Marine lifting puts large loads over water and constrained footing: containers, vessel sections, ship machinery and project cargo handled at the quay, in dry dock or across a laydown yard. High-capacity mobile cranes cover quayside and yard picks; crawler cranes take the heaviest hull sections and project loads; and the reach over water or a hull means radius and ground bearing drive every plan. Kranes supplies high-capacity mobile and crawler cranes for quayside, dry-dock and yard work, with certified operation and rigging built for the awkward, heavy loads a marine site produces. Tides, weather and berth windows compress the schedule, so the crane and crew are planned to work the window you have rather than wait for a better one.

Ports & Marine — The work

Service and parts follow the machine through a long marine campaign. Every marine lift starts with the cargo weight, the reach over water or hull, the footing at the quay and the access. Send those and Kranes returns the crane class, the rigging and the certified crew to handle it on difficult, constrained ground. Because the reach is often over water with no second chance, the lift plan, the ground bearing and the rigging are confirmed before the pick.

The right crane

On a port or shipyard the consequences of a failed lift are severe, so every crane is inspected and documented to OSHA and ASME B30 and every operator is NCCCO-certified. Kranes keeps service and parts behind the fleet so weather delays are the only thing that holds up the work. Tell us the cargo, the reach and the access, and we quote the crane and crew to handle it on the tide you have.
