Heavy Lift Equipment

• The enormously weighed items are transported from
  one place to another sometimes across country
  borders that are then lifted or installed into
  place, where the handling of transportation and
  installation of massive and huge items are highly
  indivisible, and weights are generally accepted
  to be in the range of 1 ton to over 1000 tons and
  of widths/heights more than 100 meters that are
  too large to fit into normal containers or onto
  conventional transporters. Characteristic for
  heavy lift goods is the absence of
  standardization which requires an individual
  transport planning.

• In-house developed and manufactured cranes are
  used within the industry and have become a
  standard in the design and construction of heavy
  lift cranes, this heavy lift equipment are used
  to build a large range of both on and offshore
  cranes, varying in size and type. All are
  characterized by their light weight and their
  small footprint that are designed to meet
  client's specific requirements, these cranes are
  either tailor-made or an existing crane concept
  is Reused and amended.

• All crane components must be thoroughly tested
  throughout the production process and before
  installation into the crane, these cranes itself
  undergoes an extensive Factory Acceptance Test
  before delivering it to clients. Up to a level of
  certain capacity the crane can be load tested on
  the test facility in workshops and this facility
  allows tilting of the cranes to simulate working
  conditions offshore

  ground conditions, a proper hook up or connection
  between the object being lifted and the lifting
  device is critical, This is also known as
  rigging and involves methods, principles, and
  technical data that must be known in order to
  safely perform the lift.
• The Size of the lifting equipment evolved in size
  over the years and todays equipment is capable
  of enormous lifts with relative ease of movement
  from job to job, especially when compared with
  the equipment of the past.

• The need for advanced lifting systems and
  increasing safety parameters of the offshore
  industry are the major drivers attracting
  investment in for heavy lifting and material
  handling equipment market, where the major
  product categories available in this market are
  offshore cranes, subsea winches, A- frames,
  pull-in systems, skidding and trolley systems,
  module handling towers and compensators.

• Apart from the above mentioned product categories
  several other equipments are designed to cater
  the need of the offshore industry, The market for
  heavy lifting and material handling equipment for
  the offshore industry is anticipated to grow at a
  substantial rate in future owing to increasing
  requirements from offshore operators.
