Shipbuilding and marine fabrication involve long components, large assemblies and changing work areas. Crane configuration should reflect load geometry, hook coverage, synchronization needs, outdoor exposure and the production sequence.
Typical Lifting Applications
- Hull section and block assembly
- Steel plate and profile handling
- Workshop fabrication and outfitting
- Machinery installation and maintenance
- Yard and dockside material transfer
Configuration Considerations
- Long-load stability and lifting-point arrangement
- Multiple-hoist or synchronized lifting requirements
- Span, hook approach and building or yard clearances
- Wind, salt, humidity and corrosion exposure
- Cab visibility, radio control and restricted operating zones
Relevant Crane Types
Double girder overhead cranes, heavy-duty overhead cranes, single or double girder gantry cranes and engineered multi-hoist systems may be considered.
Project note: Final capacity, structure, synchronization, outdoor protection and applicable standards are project-specific and must be confirmed in the written proposal.
