Marine cranes from HIAB are designed to withstand corrosion. The paint is UV resistant. These cranes offer high lifting capacities and extra capacity at reduced reach, and they require minimal storage space when folding.
HIAB’s sea/marine cranes also include several options, like winches, hydraulic powerpacks and HIAB’s industry–leading precision remote controls.
With two product lines to choose from, there is a HIAB crane for virtually any marine application.
HIAB Sea Cranes
The HIAB line of sea cranes was first 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 excellent reputation – so much so that they were used for retrieving recently returned space capsules from the ocean in the 1960s.
HIAB sea cranes offer capacities between 8 tonne meters and 40 tonne meters. They include double–duty slewing systems, marine painting, stainless steel plumbing and hardware and many other features that ensure they perform in all kinds of weather and all types of marine conditions.
HIAB XS Line
HIAB’s XS line of cranes is recognized for its versatility and reliability. Reconfigured from land use for marine use, this line of cranes can handle loading under many conditions.
XS cranes are built to withstand corrosion as standard. They are flexible, with minimal storage requirements. They come in a range of lifting capacities and include optional marine version cable or radio remote controls.
Safety and Service Life
All HIAB cranes meet the highest standards of safety. They are also built to last. HIAB cranes have a stellar reputation for long life and high performance.
