Product inroduction:
The floating crane, an type of crane mounted on a box-shaped barge, is capable of moving on water to perform heavy-lifting operations and other aquatic tasks. It finds extensive application in various sectors such as ports, marine engineering, and bridge construction, encompassing activities like cargo handling, salvage operations, harbor and bridge construction, equipment installation, as well as the construction and installation of drilling platforms.
Classification by Type:
Fixed Type: Characterized by its simple structure, small size, lightweight, and low cost, the fixed type crane, however, can be relatively cumbersome to operate. Within this category, there are further subdivisions into variable-radius and fixed-radius models.
Rotating Type: Capable of rotating 180° or 360°, offering great maneuverability but at a higher cost. Rotating floating cranes typically come equipped with a variable-radius mechanism.
Applications:
Ports and Maritime Operations: Floating cranes play a crucial role in ports, handling large containers, bulk cargo, and other maritime trade goods.
They facilitate the loading and unloading of ships, ensuring smooth maritime logistics.
Offshore Engineering and Oil & Gas Exploration: In offshore environments, floating cranes are essential for the installation and maintenance of oil platforms, wind turbines, and other marine structures. They support drilling operations and the construction of underwater pipelines.
Structural Configurations:
Marine cranes exhibit a wide array of structural designs, typically incorporating essential components such as booms, lifting masts (or derricks), rigging, and winches (or cargo handling machines). For a marine deck crane, its structure may adopt a folding arm, telescopic arm, or straight arm configuration, tailored to meet diverse operational requirements and vessel space constraints. Each configuration boasts unique advantages; for instance, the folding arm design ensures compactness, facilitating operations in confined spaces, while the telescopic arm offers extended reach and enhanced flexibility.
Power Source and Control Systems:
The power sources and control methods for marine cranes are similarly diverse. The power sources might encompass electric, electro-hydraulic, gasoline, or diesel engines, while control methods can range from manual operation to electric control and even more advanced automated control systems. The choice of power source and control method for a marine crane depends on specific application scenarios, operational demands, and the vessel's electrical or hydraulic system configuration.
YFM Floating crane
High Mobility and Flexibility: Floating cranes can move freely on water, requiring no fixed infrastructure support. They can quickly reach the operation site and adapt to different working environments. The rotating and luffing capabilities of their lifting equipment further enhance their flexibility in handling various lifting tasks.
Versatile Applications: Floating cranes are not limited to a single use. They can be used for cargo handling in ports and docks, offshore engineering construction, shipwreck salvage, maritime rescue, and more. This versatility makes them a valuable asset in many industries.
Unaffected by Water Depth: Unlike other offshore engineering vessels, floating cranes are not limited by water depth. They can operate in shallow or deep waters, making them suitable for a wide range of marine environments.
Enhanced Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: Floating cranes can significantly shorten the construction period and reduce engineering costs due to their high efficiency in marine operations. This makes them a cost-effective solution for many industries.
Stability and Safety: Many floating cranes are equipped with stabilizers and wave compensation devices to reduce the impact of sea waves on lifting operations, enhancing stability and safety. Additionally, their floating platform provides buoyancy support, ensuring balance and stability during operations.
