SMART Offshore Lifting Solutions

Lifting operation is not easy in the offshore environment, as complexity comes mainly from harsh weather conditions and inaccessibility:

• Limited available equipment: not feasible to rent additional equipment sailing in the middle of the sea

• Gravity center variation: not easy to guarantee a stable alignment on a vessel with strong wind or rough sea, disbalancing the cargo with pendulum effect

• Heavy-duty operations: the largest and heaviest cargos are moved off the shore for unlimited space (no bridges, no tunnels, no mountains)

• Harsh environment: unstable weather conditions, such as electric storms and strong wind

• Limited space for employees: handling and working space typically the same on a ship deck

Under these circumstances, safety goes first and crane hook is considered a top priority, as the whole cargo is lifted by this unique component.
