CranesOur in-house developed and manufactured cranes are used within the industry for over 25 years and have become a standard in the design and construction of heavy lift cranes. Huisman develops and builds a large range of both on- and offshore cranes, varying in size and type, however, all characterised by their light weight and their small footprint. To meet our client's specific requirements the cranes are tailor-made or an existing crane concept is reused and amended where required.
As part of our crane design philosophy, we install major components inside the crane wherever possible. This offers good protection from the harsh marine environment. Huisman cranes are designed and built in accordance with international standards and certified by recognised authorities such as LRS, DNV and ABS.
In-house Testing All crane components are thoroughly tested throughout the production process and before installation into the crane. The crane itself undergoes an extensive Factory Acceptance Test before delivery to our clients. Up to a certain capacity the crane can be load tested on the test facility in our workshops. This facility allows tilting of the cranes to simulate working conditions offshore.
Quality and Service Our facilities in the Netherlands and P.R. of China are accessible for seagoing vessels and have heavy lift capacity available which allows installation of the cranes at our quayside. Our Sales department is able to offer the installation, commissioning and (load) testing on board of the vessel on a lump sum basis. Furthermore Huisman can provide assistance during the sea trials before handover to our client. Our globally operating service network is stand-by to provide service support after delivery and installation if required, as well on location as by remote access from one of the service centres.
Mast CranesIn 1984 we introduced the Mast Crane in the heavy lifting industry. Since then, this innovative crane has achieved a dominant position particularly for the use onboard Heavy Lift Vessels. We delivered Mast Cranes up to a lifting capacity of 3,000t and we currently have a 5,000mt Mast Crane under construction. We have extensive experience in designing and constructing three specific types of Mast Cranes:
Pedestal CranesHuisman delivers a large range of Pedestal Cranes which can be used for various tasks including unloading of supply vessels, pipe transfer and deck and subsea lifts:
Wind Turbine Installation CranesHuisman expanded its product range with a customised range of Wind Turbine Installation Cranes.
Floating CranesThe design and construction of Floating Cranes is part of our activities since 1981. Examples are the Taklift 4 and 8 as well as the Rambiz which has a total lifting capacity of 3,300mt.
Land Based CranesFor onshore application, we build Heavy Lift Ringer Cranes. These mobile cranes are mounted on a ring construction and have a lifting capacity up to 2,000mt. By using its caterpillar tracks the completely assembled crane can be moved on location. In order to save transportation cost, we developed a Containerised Ringer Crane. This crane is easily transportable as it builds up from elements with dimensions of standard 20ft and 40ft ISO containers |
