Industry introduction
Marine cranes, also known as ship cranes, are primarily installed on vessels to load and unload various types of cargo. They are the most important deck machinery and equipment for production operations on ships. These cranes feature a compact structure, attractive appearance, reliable and safe performance, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and excellent handling capabilities. Designed, manufactured, and certified to endure the harsh working conditions of the marine environment—such as corrosion from salt spray, heavy wear, and extreme temperatures—ship cranes are especially well-suited for material handling operations at sea. Their booms come in various configurations, including straight, telescopic, and folding arms. Power and control options include manual, electric, and electro-hydraulic systems.
Marine Cranes Classification
Stiff Boom Cranes

Stiff Boom Cranes are a type of marine cranes ideal for handling and unloading materials safely, quickly, and flexibly in maritime environments. Featuring a simple and robust design based on hydraulic cylinder luffing with base rotation, these cranes offer extremely low maintenance costs. By combining minimal structural complexity and optimized weight with high-quality components and specialized anti-corrosion treatments, Stiff Boom Cranes provide a durable and reliable solution for demanding marine operations. They are commonly used in docks, fixed facilities, and ports, making them a dependable choice among various types of marine cranes.
Преимущество
- Lifting capacity up to 100 metric tons
- The radius of the boom can reach 50 meters
- Long-life surface treatment: anti-corrosion
- Operate through the control platform on the crane
- Integrated electro-hydraulic drive/HPU
- Continuous rotation
- Low temperature/high temperature operation
- Anti-collision system

Telescopic Boom Cranes

Telescopic boom Cranes, a versatile type of marine cranes, enable supply ships to be unloaded quickly, easily, and safely, while ensuring flexible material handling. These cranes feature a base rotation design with hydraulic cylinder luffing, offering a lifting torque of up to 12,000 kNm—customizable to meet specific customer requirements, along with various optional features. As robust and reliable marine cranes, they are commonly installed on drilling rigs, offshore platforms, and ships, where they serve as essential onboard equipment for supply handling and ship-to-ship transfer operations.
Преимущество
- Maintenance costs are low and simple, and the consumption of spare parts is reduced.
- Crane downtime is shorter and the service life is significantly extended.
- Cranes can meet the requirements of the marine environment with the highest quality equipment to ensure reliable and safe operation.

Knuckle and Telescopic Boom Cranes

Knuckle and telescopic boom cranes are compact marine cranes that take up minimal deck space and feature a highly efficient structure for easy recovery. All models can be extensively customized to meet the specific needs of various marine applications. Designed and manufactured specifically for marine use, these cranes have been successfully deployed in some of the most demanding environments, consistently demonstrating their reliability. The standard crane recovery configuration involves lowering the second boom with the cylinder fully retracted. When this is not feasible, a ceramic-coated cylinder rod can be provided to prevent corrosion, enabling a recovery configuration even when the cylinder is not fully closed.
Преимущество
- Maintenance costs are low and simple, and the consumption of spare parts is reduced.
- Crane downtime is shorter, and the service life is significantly extended.
- Cranes can meet the requirements of the marine environment with the highest quality equipment to ensure reliable and safe operation.

Foldable Knuckle Boom Cranes

Foldable Knuckle Boom Cranes are space-saving marine cranes known for their compact design and efficient recovery configuration. They maximize strength and flexibility during equipment loading and unloading, making them ideal for operations where deck space is limited. Thanks to their compact structure, these cranes can be easily installed on a wide range of ships. Their unique combination of low self-weight and high performance makes them a highly effective solution in the marine industry. The advanced geometry of these marine cranes allows for various extension ranges—from short telescopic arms to booms extending up to 22 meters—ensuring versatility across different applications.
Преимущество
- Lifting capacity up to 32 metric tons
- Extends up to 22 meters
- Long-life surface treatment: anti-corrosion
- Low temperature/high temperature operation
- Oil recovery utilization rate of selected models
- Suitable for continuous rotation system of cranes over 30 tons
- Single connecting rod and power connecting rod system
- Rack and pinion single and double rotary cylinders and continuous rotary systems
- Operate through the control platform on the crane

Handling of cargo and equipment of offshore ships
Knuckle Boom Cranes

We develop and supply knuckle boom marine cranes specifically designed for offshore applications. These cranes are engineered to keep the boom tip as low as possible within the crane’s operating range, effectively limiting wire rope slack and reducing load swing caused by vessel movement. To enhance operational stability, this type of marine crane can be equipped with either active or passive heave compensation systems. In challenging sea conditions, where rough waves and high winds cause suspended loads to sway, the enhanced control and precision of the folding boom design make it an ideal solution. As a result, Knuckle Boom Cranes are widely used for offshore lifting operations on drilling platforms and vessels operating in high-seas states.
Преимущество
- Lifting capacity up to 100 metric tons
- The radius of the boom can reach 50 meters
- Long-life surface treatment: anti-corrosion
- Operate through the control platform on the crane
- Integrated electro-hydraulic drive/HPU
- Continuous rotation
- Low temperature/high temperature operation
- Anti-collision system

Wire Luffing Lattice Boom Cranes

Wire luffing lattice boom cranes are usually used for fixed installation on drilling platforms, jack-up platforms, or drilling ships. It complies with the latest offshore rules and regulations and is based on a rotary base design. It is not the same as rack and pinion luffing. The lifting moment is between 4,000 and 30,000 kNm. The wire rope luffing truss boom crane is equipped with a built-in electro-hydraulic or diesel-hydraulic power set. These cranes are usually used for fixed installation and drilling platforms, jack-up platforms, and drilling ships, when the required extension distance exceeds 40-50 meters.
Преимущество
- Lifting capacity up to 100 metric tons
- The radius of the boom can reach 70 meters
- Internal rotary transmission device and rotary gear
- Reduce maintenance requirements
- Electro-hydraulic or diesel-hydraulic drive
- Easy to perform all types of maintenance
- Weight optimization
