YFM Floating Crane | Offshore and Port Marine Heavy Lifting Solution

Overview

YFM Floating Crane is a heavy-duty marine lifting equipment specially developed for complex offshore, coastal, and port working conditions. In global port operations, offshore engineering projects, and waterfront infrastructure construction, traditional shore cranes are greatly limited by shore infrastructure, water depth, and construction space. As a core waterborne construction device, the YFM floating crane features stable load capacity, high working efficiency, and strong adaptability, effectively solving high-difficulty lifting challenges in various offshore and port marine projects.

Core Operational Values

The YFM Floating Crane is flexibly applicable to deep-water ports, inland river terminals, and offshore anchorages, making up for the shortcomings of traditional port operation modes. It supports ship-to-ship and ship-to-barge cargo transshipment at sea anchorages without frequent berthing of large cargo vessels. It greatly reduces vessel berthing time, relieves port congestion and berth pressure, and improves the overall efficiency of port cargo transshipment, terminal handling, and waterway logistics.

Key Performance Advantages

1. Powerful Heavy Lifting Capacity

The YFM Floating Crane delivers excellent heavy-load lifting performance, with a rated lifting capacity ranging from 50 tons to over 200 tons, and customized specifications are available. It is suitable for lifting oversized and heavy cargo such as large offshore modules, bridge segments, foundation piles, and heavy construction machinery. Equipped with a 50m³ four-rope grab bucket, it can handle more than 35 tons of bulk cargo per operation, realizing dual functions of heavy component lifting and bulk cargo handling.

2. Full-Range Water Mobility

Floating cranes can be equipped with their own power systems. They have extremely strong waterborne transportation capabilities and can freely navigate in ports, inland rivers, canals, offshore operation areas and undeveloped shorelines. They completely eliminate the problems of insufficient infrastructure on the shore and restricted construction sites, and are suitable for various flexible water-based construction and logistics transfer scenarios.

3. Flexible Boom Configuration

Floating cranes can be equipped with auxiliary hooks and extended main booms, and their lifting capacity, working radius and lifting height can be customized as needed. They can precisely position heavy objects at special construction areas such as cargo ship holds, dock platforms, offshore pipe racks, and narrow waterways. They are suitable for complex lifting operations in multiple scenarios and from multiple angles, with a wide range of operational coverage and extremely strong adaptability.

4. Professional Marine Anti-Corrosion

The crane is made of high-quality corrosion-resistant steel; the core systems such as the winch, hydraulic system and electrical system are enclosed and placed in the counterweight chamber; equipped with high-quality epoxy anti-corrosion coating, they can effectively resist seawater corrosion, wave splashing and extreme marine weather erosion, ensuring the equipment operates stably and reliably for a long time under harsh marine conditions, and significantly extending the service life of the equipment.

5. Superior Lifting Stability

By optimizing the design of the barge and the floating box, combining with a precise ballast system, and adopting an arch frame design, the stability of the floating crane's lifting operation has been significantly improved.

6. Multi-Functional & Expandable

In addition to conventional heavy lifting, the equipment can be simply modified to expand multiple functions, including offshore piling, dredging support, shipwreck salvage, offshore wind power installation and maintenance, sea-crossing bridge erection, and port infrastructure expansion. The multi-purpose design reduces project equipment investment and improves construction cost performance.

Main Application Fields

With high stability, strong adaptability, and multi-functional performance, the YFM floating crane is widely used in global port operation, offshore engineering, marine new energy, maritime salvage, and coastal infrastructure construction:

• Port & Terminal Operation：

Oversized cargo lifting, general goods handling, port equipment hoisting, special container loading and unloading, ship repair supporting lifting.

• Offshore Civil Engineering
