What Kind of Crane is Used in a Shipyard?

Shipbuilding gantry cranes are specifically used for shipyard for building, assembling and maintaining ships, and they can perform segmented hoisting and turning operations of the hull. Shipyard cranes are mainly composed of the main beam, rigid and flexible legs, crossbeam, hoisting mechanism, travelling trolley. They move along tracks or rails, allowing them to pass through large shipyards.

To meet the requirements of precise hoisting operations, the lifting and travelling mechanisms of shipbuilding gantry cranes usually adopt variable frequency speed regulation technology to achieve smooth speed control.

As shipbuilding gantry cranes usually operate in an open-air environment and are vulnerable to strong winds, they are fitted with reliable wind protection devices, such as rail clamps, ground anchors, and anchor chains to prevent movement or tipping when not in use.
