Ship hoisting gantry crane

What is this?

The ship hoisting gantry crane is a large gantry crane specifically designed for ship construction, repair, and vessel lifting operations. Through coordinated operation of multiple lifting points or multiple trolleys, combined with crane traveling along rails, it achieves precise lifting, turning, and launching of entire vessels, ship hull blocks, large marine equipment, and more. If you are managing a shipyard, repair yard, dry dock, or floating dock, and need a crane with enormous lifting capacity, wide span, and the ability to lift entire vessels or assemble large hull blocks, this product is designed for you.

Why choose a ship hoisting gantry crane over a standard shipbuilding gantry crane?

Compared to standard shipbuilding gantry cranes, the ship hoisting gantry crane offers four core advantages:

First, larger lifting capacity – specifically designed for whole vessel lifting, with lifting capacity from 500 tons to over 10,000 tons, meeting the requirements of lifting large vessels in their entirety.

Second, multi-point coordination – features multi-point or multi-trolley coordinated design to ensure even load distribution during vessel lifting, avoiding hull deformation.

Third, extremely high lifting height – under-hook height can reach 40 meters to over 80 meters, accommodating the lifting requirements of large vessels and tall superstructures.

Fourth, precise synchronized control – equipped with high-precision multi-point synchronization control systems, ensuring all lifting points maintain consistent height during raising and lowering operations, guaranteeing operational safety.

Take on the most demanding vessel lifting tasks with greater capability.

What can we do for you?

We understand that every shipyard has different vessel types, different lifting requirements, and different site conditions. Therefore, we offer flexible customization options: lifting capacity from 500 tons to over 10,000 tons; span customized according to dry dock or berth width; lifting height customized according to vessel type; lifting point quantity of dual-point, four-point, or multi-point configuration; control options of cabin or remote radio combined with cabin; control methods of master-slave synchronization or fully automatic synchronization. Whether you need to lift entire vessels, launch ships, or assemble large hull blocks, we can match the most suitable lifting capacity and lifting point configuration.

Unsure? Don't know?

Not sure what lifting capacity is needed to lift your largest vessel type? Not sure how many lifting points are needed to ensure hull stability? No problem. Just tell us: your maximum vessel length, width, and weight, your dry dock/berth dimensions, and your lifting purpose (whole vessel lifting / ship launching / hull block assembly).
