Q: What types of shipboard cranes do you have?

A: Regarding the boom appearance, we have fixed boom cranes, knuckle boom cranes, telescopic boom cranes, and telescopic-knuckle boom cranes. Regarding drive types, we offer motor cranes, electro-hydraulic cranes, and diesel-hydraulic cranes. We can customize cranes of different styles or specifications according to photos or drawings.

Q: How should I choose the shipboard cranes I need?

A: First, I need to consider the operational environment and working conditions, such as potential limitations in space, load-bearing capacity, environmental climate, or the possibility of frequent and continuous operations. Second, I must consider the crane's specifications, such as lifting capacity, working radius, and height. Third, we must determine what marine cranes can maximize the lifting efficiency. Fourth, the equipment must comply with local regulatory standards. Fifth, cost and maintenance considerations. Sixth, whether there are requirements for additional special functions.

Q: Which is the best shipboard crane?

A: No "best" shipboard cranes exist, only the "most suitable" ones. Different marine cranes have different applicable environments, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. You can select the shipboard cranes that best meet your needs based on your requirements and working conditions.

Q: Are you a manufacturer of Shipboard Cranes?

A: Yes, I am not only a manufacturer but also have the most professional technical team to provide full-cycle services.

Q: Do you have any second-hand Shipboard Cranes?

A: We mainly focus on non-standard products and accept maintenance and renovation of second-hand shipboard cranes. For details, please consult our sales manager.
