The 350 ton Marine Travel Lift developed by Haitai Crane is a heavy-duty self-propelled handling system designed for large yachts and vessels. With a rated lifting capacity of 350 tons, it combines vessel lifting, launching, hauling out, yard transfer, berth relocation, and maintenance relocation in one machine, covering the main handling operations required throughout the construction, repair, and day-to-day operation of yachts and vessels.
Large yachts and vessels often come with considerable weight, long overall dimensions, and changing operating conditions. To meet these requirements, the equipment is built on a heavy-duty rubber-tyred chassis combined with a gantry-style structure, allowing the entire machine to travel independently across paved areas in shipyards, marinas, and repair facilities. Unlike conventional lifting equipment that relies on fixed rails, the 350 ton Marine Travel Lift requires no dedicated track system. Its travel route and working position can be adjusted according to the actual handling requirements.
With a rated lifting capacity of 350 tons, the equipment can handle the complete lifting and transportation of large luxury yachts, commercial workboats, and certain special-purpose vessels. For different vessel types and load conditions, the machine can be engineered around the vessel weight, beam, length, support positions, and specific operating requirements provided by the customer, ensuring that the equipment is properly matched to the actual working conditions.
The 350 ton Marine Travel Lift uses a heavy-duty rubber-tyred travel system and does not depend on fixed rails. It can move independently across suitable paved working areas in shipyards, marinas, and ship repair facilities. The equipment can be repositioned as needed according to vessel movements, maintenance locations, and berth arrangements, giving operators greater flexibility when managing large vessels within the yard.
The equipment is designed for more than vessel lifting. It can also carry out launching, hauling out, workshop transfer, berth relocation, and maintenance lifting operations. For shipyards and yacht marinas where vessels frequently need to move between different working areas, one travel lift can take care of several handling stages, helping reduce repeated transfers and the need for additional handling equipment.
The equipment features a heavy-duty gantry and load-bearing structure that can be customized to suit the dimensions and weight of large yachts, workboats, and special-purpose vessels. By configuring the gantry span, lifting height, number of wheel sets, and travel system according to the project, the travel lift can be adapted to different vessel types and site conditions.
Traditional rail-mounted lifting equipment normally requires the travel route to be planned and built in advance. The 350 ton Marine Travel Lift, on the other hand, travels on rubber tyres and can operate on paved ground with sufficient load-bearing capacity. For shipyards and yacht facilities that need to accommodate production, maintenance, berthing, and vessel transfer within the same site, this design reduces the limitations imposed by fixed infrastructure and makes better use of the available yard space.
The travel lift can be used for launching, hauling out, and yard transfer after the construction of large luxury yachts. It can also move vessels between different production areas, providing heavy-duty handling support throughout the yacht building process.
The equipment can be used for hauling out and launching large yachts, berth transfer, and maintenance relocation. It is particularly suitable for coastal marinas and yacht clubs that provide maintenance, storage, and operational services for large yachts.
During vessel repair and refurbishment, the 350 ton Marine Travel Lift can move vessels from the water to designated land-based repair areas or transfer them between different maintenance stations, reducing the number of separate handling steps required.
For the handling of large vessels and marine engineering equipment, the equipment dimensions and lifting parameters can be customized to suit the heavy-load transfer requirements of different working areas within an industrial park.
The equipment is not limited to one particular type of shipyard. It can be configured according to site roads, ground load-bearing capacity, vessel dimensions, and handling procedures, making it suitable for large and medium-sized yachts, workboats, and special-purpose vessels in both inland and coastal shipyards.
Vessel dimensions, site conditions, and operating procedures can vary considerably from one shipyard, marina, or repair facility to another. For this reason, Haitai Crane designs the equipment around the actual conditions of each project. In addition to the 350 ton rated lifting capacity, the machine can be configured according to vessel length, beam, height, bottom support conditions, working area dimensions, travel routes, and required lifting height.
The gantry dimensions, lifting system, rubber-tyred travel system, and control method can all be adjusted according to the project requirements, providing a handling solution that is better suited to the specific yachts and vessels involved.
The 350 ton Marine Travel Lift combines heavy-duty lifting capacity with self-propelled rubber-tyred travel. While providing the lifting capability required for the safe handling of large vessels, it also gives shipyards and yacht marinas a more flexible way to carry out vessel movements within the site. Since no fixed rails are required, the equipment places fewer restrictions on travel routes. At the same time, its ability to handle lifting, launching, hauling out, transfer, and relocation makes it suitable for the diverse handling requirements that arise from vessel construction through to maintenance.
For large yacht manufacturers, ship repair facilities, and comprehensive yacht marinas, the equipment is more than a heavy-duty lifting machine. It serves as an important handling solution connecting water-based operations with land-based vessel handling.
Haitai Crane specializes in the development and manufacture of heavy lifting equipment and marine material handling equipment. We provide customers worldwide with Marine Travel Lifts, marine lifting equipment, and other customized heavy-duty handling solutions.
