Description

Definition

The stiff boom deck crane comprises metal structures (pedestal, tower, boom), hoisting, luffing, winch, and slewing systems, plus auxiliary equipment like HPUs and cabs. Featuring a fully enclosed box boom, available in various sizes, robust and non-bowed, it uses electro-hydraulic or diesel-hydraulic drive for high-performance 0-360° continuous rotation lifting. Its SWL ranges from 1 ton (small cranes) to over 50 tons (heavy-duty models).

This deck crane can be 'tailor-made' to suit different environmental and operational requirements, and can also be designed and built to all major global ship registrations and quality systems (e.g., ABS, RINA, DNV, Lloyd's Register, API 2c). Typically used as shipboard or ship-to-ship cranes, it offers a diverse product range for the luxury yacht, marine, workboat, oilfield, coastguard, or military industries, suitable for offshore operations on the deck of bulk carriers or where there is sufficient free space, commonly used in marinas, harbors, and at sea.

Crane applications

Difference with Knuckle Boom Crane

Feature	Stiff Boom Deck Crane	Knuckle Boom Crane
products
Boom Structure	rigid, straight, or slightly curved boom	Multiple hinged sections, allowing for folding
Stability	High due to the rigid boom	Lower due to the flexible boom
Lifting Capacity	Typically higher due to a rigid structure	Under the condition of the same working radius, the lifting capacity is smaller.
Working Range	Wide, determined by boom length	Under the condition of the same lifting capacity, the working radius is relatively smaller.
Operation	Generally hydraulic, simple to operate	Hydraulic, more complex due to multiple joints
Suitability	Heavy lifting, long reach operations	Versatile, compact storage, ideal for confined spaces
Maintenance	Less frequent due to simpler design	More frequent due to complex joints and mechanisms
