Technocrane Quality Marine Cranes

By Merv Carlson


Technocrane Inc is a popular crane distributor located in North America. Few months ago they introduced the marine cranes they manufactured to the market. These marine cranes are believed to be one of the best on the market. Marine is a severe environment; normal inland cranes can not do the job in a vessel. Every offshore operator wants to have a durable and reliable crane which can withstand the harsh marine environment. Technocrane understands the needs; and their two latest crane models are specifically designed for marine use.

Marine environments, whether saltwater or freshwater, subject equipment like cranes to corrosion, which can be detrimental to any equipment that is made out of metal. Cranes that are used at sea or even on the dock can quickly be transformed into useless piles of junk if not designed, built and maintained adequately. Saltwater environments can be particularly challenging because salt (sodium chloride) that is dissolved in water result in an ionic solution that can speed the corrosion process. Marine cranes, while not normally submerged, are not immune to the problem of saltwater corrosion. Metal equipment does not even need to be visibly wet in order to suffer from corrosion, the high moisture content in the air alone is sufficient to cause damage to metal components, particularly when those components are not made of the highest quality metals, like stainless steel, or are not protected by an adequate coating of chrome plating or corrosion resistant paint.

Remember that truck cranes and marine cranes are designed for being used in different environment. No matter how quality, powerful your truck cranes are, they should be used for inland purposes only. Inland cranes just do not have enough corrosion protection to deal with the moisture on the sea. If you try to use a truck mounted crane as a marine crane, the standard paint and chroming on various crane components will soon be damaged; the crane will then be vulnerable to corrosion. In addition, a truck mounted crane must be relocated to fit the deck surface; and this is not recommended.

Technocrane has just introduced their two new marine crane models. These cranes are protected from the damaging moisture and can be used under harsh working conditions. Marine cranes need to be powerful since they can be operated on moving vessels. When the vessel is moving, the crane components are under severe working stresses. All of the components in Technocrane marine cranes are well designed to fit the harsh working conditions. For example, the dual rack and pinion slewing systems can work well on unstable platform; these systems are robust enough to rotate a crane under load in rough seas.

Technocrane Inc. has over 25 years of experience in manufacturing and distributing small cranes, outriggers. Their two new marine cranes are believed to be one of the best marine cranes on the market. Technocrane support is amazing; you can contact them for more information on marine cranes.
