Platform Mounted Cranes

Luffing Crane

High-Performance Vertical Precision

Our Luffing Boom Ship Cranes are engineered for environments where space is a premium and precision is a requirement. Unlike standard cranes, the luffing mechanism allows the boom to be raised and lowered (pivoted) to change the working radius without moving the base. This makes them the ideal choice for vessels operating in crowded ports, offshore platforms with high superstructures, or ships with dense deck equipment.

Key Advantages

• Obstacle Avoidance: The steep boom angle allows for lifting close to the crane’s pedestal, effortlessly clearing high containers or ship superstructures.
• Reduced Slewing Radius: Perfect for narrow channels or side-by-side mooring where a fixed-length boom would be too wide to rotate.
• High-Hook Heights: Optimized for reaching elevated platforms or stacking cargo higher than traditional boom designs.
• Dynamic Winch Control: Advanced tensioning systems ensure smooth load movement even when the vessel is experiencing significant pitch and roll.
