HIAB SEA CRANE

Rich heritage

The HIAB line of Sea Cranes was developed in the period following World War II. The company had already invented the hydraulic crane and followed that innovation with the hydraulic knuckle cranes now used in marine applications around the world. HIAB cranes have an unmatched reputation since first being commissioned to retrieve NASA’s space capsules from the ocean in the early 1960s.

Wide application

Hiab Sea Cranes perform in the most demanding environments and across the full range of vessels and settings, from coast guard operations, tugs, subsea trenchers and ice breakers to oil drilling platforms and piers; from navy and cruise ships to dredgers, barges and pollution recovery vessels.

Superb features

The HIAB Sea Crane is outstanding in comparison with outdated stiff booms and derricks. The knuckle boom principle creates exceptional freedom of movement, while maintaining a maximum lifting capacity, precise load handling, extra capacity at reduced reach and an optional total overload protection. To top it off, the crane folds efficiently into a compact storage space.

Designer convenient outfitting

HIAB Sea Cranes have capacities from 6 ton metres up to 40 ton metres. Special capacities can be designed and developed on request. Winches, hydraulic powerpacks and remote controls are standard issue, matched to the cranes. The HIAB Sea Crane Handbook is available in printed or electronic format.

HIAB SEA CRANES, SECOND TO NONE

The link system of outer boom gives additional power.

A heavy duty double slewing system gives the capacity to operate the crane at max 5 degrees of heel and 2 degrees of trim without restriction of lifting capacity.

Protection against corrosion for extended lifetime

Shot blasted boom

Hot dip galvanized beam

Marine painted base

• SA 2.5 shot blast before primer forms the base for highest quality painting finish.

• Stainless steel pipes, hose and pipe fittings used to prevent corrosion in crucial parts.

• Stainless steel bolts used except in high-tensile parts.

• Hot dip galvanizing in extension booms and outer boom beam made to withstand harsh marine environment.

• Double chrome treatment and special seals on hydraulic cylinders ensure trouble-free operation in the most demanding conditions.

• Marine painting (primer, middle and final paint) of 210 micron.

• Oil bath type slewing system makes easy maintenance and long-life slewing system.

• Strength calculation is carried out in accordance with EN 13001.
