Cran is a ship-owned device and machinery for loading and unloading cargo, mainly boom devices, deck cranes and other loading and unloading machinery. Marine crane is a type of crane that also includes offshore cranes.

Generally speaking, there are two types of cranes: marine cranes and offshore cranes. Marine cranes are crane equipment installed on the deck. It is also called deck crane in the industry. The use of the environment is mostly quiet harbor, or the sea with less wind and waves.

Sea cranes are different, it is usually used for marine transport operations, mainly for cargo handover between ships, sea supply and other important tasks, special sea cranes are also involved in the launch and recovery of underwater equipment and other marine operations. Due to the special environment at sea, the control of marine cranes is also a considerable challenge.

On the one hand, similar to various lifting machines on land, we need to control the vibration generated by the cargo during transportation to ensure its positioning accuracy and transportation efficiency. Therefore, the marine crane's usually need to carry out marine simulation operation test to test the ability of smooth operation at sea.

On the other hand, since this crane is fixed on a moving platform such as a ship, the movement of the carrier itself has a great impact on the transportation operation, and in many cases, the distance of the landing point will become larger and the accuracy will be affected. The size of the load does not correspond to the movement of the crane used on land.

Offshore cranes are more difficult to produce, more stringent requirements, sea conditions, wind and waves also have standard requirements.

With China's foreign trade industry, the development of the transport industry, China's cranes are increasingly exported abroad, since 2020, has reached 11,000 units per year, and is still climbing year by year.OUCO keep up with the times, the quality of the product is also increasingly recognized by buyers around the world!

Therefore, offshore cranes require high quality machines with stronger steel structure and weight to maintain normal lifting operations under fluctuating sea levels.

In short, if you want to choose the right crane, remember to provide us with the following information.

• The condition of your vessel, such as whether it is loaded on a cargo ship, yacht or offshore platform?

• The sea area to be used?

• Sea state level, Beaufort, Significant wave height or wave factor, please provide at least one of the above data.

• What temperature do you crane need to withstand?

Provide the above information and we will recommend the right crane model for you!

These two types of cranes are suitable for different environments. This is also the most obvious difference between marine cranes and offshore cranes.

If you need to buy marine cranes, OUCO INDUSTRY is a professional marine crane manufacturer in China, providing offshore base cranes, offshore cargo cranes, offshore oil supply platform cranes, yacht cranes and so on.
