On April 8, 2026, the 2.5 ton marine crane customized by Haitai Crane for a Nigerian customer successfully completed all factory commissioning and load testing procedures. With the final test data confirmed, the crane met the required design standards, providing a solid foundation for subsequent delivery and operation.
The 2.5 ton marine crane is designed for lifting and material handling operations on ship decks. Considering the requirements of marine equipment for stable operation, precise control and safe performance, Haitai Crane carried out a comprehensive commissioning and testing program before the crane left the factory.
The entire commissioning process was conducted in accordance with the applicable design standards and project requirements. The crane completed a series of tests, including no-load operation, rated load testing and static load testing. These tests were used to assess the crane’s operating condition, lifting performance, movement response and overall stability.
After multiple rounds of testing, the crane demonstrated smooth operation and precise movement, with all major functions performing as expected. The results provided a thorough verification of its adaptability and stability for ship-deck lifting applications.
Following the successful factory commissioning, the crane obtained its BV (Bureau Veritas) certification in April 2026.
As an internationally recognized inspection, testing and certification organization, Bureau Veritas applies rigorous requirements to equipment design, manufacturing and quality control. The successful BV certification of this 2.5-ton marine hydraulic slewing crane provides further recognition of the equipment’s overall quality and compliance, while also demonstrating Haitai Crane’s capabilities in marine crane design, manufacturing and quality management.
For Haitai Crane, the certification represents more than a formal approval. It is also a practical result of the company’s continued efforts to improve the quality of its marine cranes and strengthen its manufacturing capabilities for international markets.
The successful completion of this Nigerian 2.5-ton marine hydraulic slewing crane project adds another overseas project reference to Haitai Crane’s marine hydraulic crane portfolio and further strengthens the company’s experience in shipbuilding and offshore engineering equipment.
From solution design and manufacturing to factory commissioning and certification, Haitai Crane remains focused on the actual operating requirements of each customer. By combining reliable equipment performance with strict quality control, the company provides marine lifting equipment tailored to the requirements of international projects.
Looking ahead, Haitai Crane will continue to develop its marine crane and offshore engineering equipment capabilities, providing customers worldwide with efficient, safe and durable marine lifting solutions backed by reliable product quality, proven manufacturing expertise and continuous technical development.
