The Pontoon Floating Crane is usually mounted on self-propelled pontoons. The cranes provide fast, independent operations in ports, on rivers, or at open sea for transshipment operations.
These cranes are used for loading, discharging, transshipment, and lightening for ports with insufficient depth. Often, multiple floating cranes operate simultaneously on one vessel, so very high unloading rates can be achieved. It usually works with grab or containers. Manufacturers of mobile harbor cranes also offer floating cranes. These cranes use the same standardized concept as the standard rail or rubber tire-mounted mobile harbor cranes. The cranes have higher capacities up to 65 tons.
Components of Pontoon Floating Crane
Pontoon: The Pontoon is the foundation of the crane, providing buoyancy and carrying the entire lifting system.
Crane host: This part includes the lifting arm, reel, hydraulic system, etc., responsible for lifting, slewing, and telescoping, and other actions.
Control system: controls the various actions of the crane, including manual and automatic control modes.
Power system: provides power for the crane, and can use a diesel engine or an electric motor.
Counterweight system: used to balance the lifting load to ensure the stability of the crane.
Features of Pontoon Floating Crane
Strong mobility: Pontoon floating cranes can reach through the waterway, while land cranes make it difficult to reach the operating area.
Wide operating range: The telescopic and slewing range of the crane boom is large, which can cover a large operating area.
Strong loading capacity: The loading capacity of the Pontoon floating crane can be customized according to the customer's demand to meet the requirements of lifting different weights of goods.
Strong adaptability: It can be configured according to different operating environments and requirements, such as adding grabs, suction cups, and other accessories.
Application of Pontoon Floating Crane
Port operations: loading and unloading of containers, steel, large machinery, and equipment.
Marine engineering: installation of offshore wind turbines, laying submarine pipelines, and so on.
Hydropower construction: installation of hydraulic turbines, gates, etc.
Ship repair: lifting ship parts, replacing equipment, etc.
Salvage operation: salvage wrecks, rescue vessels in distress, etc.
