A floating barge crane refers to a hoisting device custom-designed for working conditions with constraints on operating radius, water depth and ground foundation, which is fixedly installed on a barge by means of welding. Its operating scope extends from ports and inland rivers to offshore areas, and it can be applied to complex operations such as offshore material transfer, offshore construction, maintenance of offshore structures, hoisting of heavy equipment and offshore rescue.
The crane's hoisting system consists of a jib system, hoisting mechanism, luffing mechanism, slewing mechanism, power and control system, as well as various safety and auxiliary devices.
Working Principle
The floating barge crane relies on the buoyancy of the floating body to support the hoisting mechanism for lifting and transferring heavy loads on water. During operation, the hull is stabilized by mooring or positioning systems; the jib performs luffing and slewing movements under the instructions of the control system, and the winch drives the wire ropes to hoist and lower the lifted loads to the designated positions.
Features
- Lifting capacity ranging from tens of tons up to thousands of tons
- Capable of 24/7 continuous operation
- Adopting dual systems (hydraulic or mechanical)
- Compliant with FEM 3M / DIN 15018 H4-B4 or higher standards
- Enclosed air-conditioned cab with anti-vibration design and 360° panoramic view
- Grab opening and closing control achievable at the cab end
- Dual-drum system (hoisting + closing) , compatible with 2-rope / 4-rope mechanical grabs
- Adaptable to hydraulic clamshell grabs
- Synchronized drum operation with support for independent control
- Automatic wire rope guiding and automatic rope arrangement
- Easy access for maintenance of key components
- Designed for maritime salt spray and high-humidity environments
- Main structures and mechanisms all adopt heavy-duty marine anti-corrosion treatment, such as C5-M grade anti-corrosion protection (epoxy resin + marine polyurethane)
- Core equipment components (e.g., hoisting mechanisms, slewing systems, electrical structures, etc.) are all selected from well-known brands including ABB, Siemens, Schneider, Parker, Rexroth, etc.
- Certifications： CCS / DNV / ABS / BV / RINA / RMRS / LR / KR / NK
- No reliance on shore-based infrastructure or complex foundation treatment
