Yacht Deck cranes are installed on the decks of ships. Their main functions are lifting and handling cargoes. They are widely used in cargo ships, fishing boats, ports, engineering ships and other ships. They are indispensable offshore engineering equipment. Due to their different working principles and working scenarios, deck cranes can be divided into many types, such as fixed deck cranes, telescopic arm deck cranes, folding arm deck cranes, etc. There are also many operating methods, such as manual, hydraulic, remote control, etc. At present, Haitai marine cranes manufacturers (our company)’s equipment has realized functions such as remote monitoring and precise control, which greatly improves the efficiency and safety factor of operations. Next, we will focus on some of the more critical advantages:
Marine Deck cranes are installed on the decks of ships. Their main functions are lifting and handling cargoes. They are widely used in cargo ships, fishing boats, ports, engineering ships and other ships. They are indispensable offshore engineering equipment.

Next, we will focus on some of the more critical advantages:
1、Save labor costs
Deck cranes can reduce the use of manpower by automating lifting tasks, which not only saves costs but also reduces the physical strength of workers. Since they greatly improve work efficiency and the safety of the working environment, deck cranes can greatly save related costs incurred in the work.
2、Higher safety factor
Our cranes usually equipped with various higher safety factors, such as limit switches, overload protection devices, etc. Theycan reduce potential safety hazards in the operation process and protect the safety of workers.
- Limit switch:
The limit switch is a very important safety device. When the boom extension angle reaches the limit position, the angle limit switch can effectively prevent accidental safety accidents caused by improper operation.
- Overload protection device:
Overload protection is one of the key safety functions of the deck crane. Real-time monitoring of the weight of the hoisted cargo. Once the cargo weight exceeds the rated lifting weight of the deck crane, the overload protection device will be triggered immediately. For example, when loading and unloading some overweight containers or large mechanical equipment, if there is no overload protection, it may cause serious consequences such as deformation of the structural components of the crane and breakage of the wire rope. The overload protection device can effectively avoid these situations.
- Emergency braking system:
When an emergency occurs, such as sudden strong winds, abnormal shaking of the ship or other unexpected interference, the emergency braking system of the deck crane can quickly stop the running parts. This rapid braking function can prevent the cargo from swinging out of control due to inertia, avoiding damage to the operator, the ship itself and surrounding facilities. For example, when encountering sudden storm weather at sea, the emergency braking system can fix the hook and boom in the shortest time to reduce the shaking and collision of cargo caused by the storm.
- Stable structural design
The base is generally made of a solid metal structure and is firmly fixed to the ship deck by bolts and other means, which can withstand various moments generated during the lifting of heavy objects. In order to improve stability, the center of gravity design of the deck crane has also been strictly considered. By rationally configuring the position and weight of each component, the center of gravity of the entire equipment is kept within a stable range. This helps prevent dangerous situations such as forward tilting or tipping of the equipment when lifting heavy objects.
3、Flexible and independent operation
The boom of the deck crane can rotate 360° and can perform multiple loading and unloading tasks at the same time. Different types of cargo can be arranged by operating the deck crane reasonably.
Deck cranes can be operated both manually and automatically. In some simple loading and unloading scenarios or when the accuracy is not high, operators can use manual joysticks to control the lifting, rotation, and extension of the deck crane. In situations where the accuracy of cargo placement is required, such as stacking containers or loading and unloading valuable equipment, the automatic control system can be enabled. The automatic control system can accurately control the actions of the deck crane according to preset parameters to achieve accurate cargo placement.
4、Efficient and reasonable use of space
The deck crane can be folded up, so it can occupy less space on the deck, thereby freeing up more space for cargo.
5、Suitable for a variety of cargo types
Suitable for cargo of various specifications, such as logs, steel, etc., with the use of different slings, it can be customized to a high degree and can meet different work levels and sea conditions.
6、High efficiency
The safety factor of the deck crane is much higher than that of the land crane, and it can adapt well to complex sea conditions and offshore environments. The ship deck crane greatly improves the efficiency of offshore operations and operations.
7、Wide range of uses and strong adaptability
Deck cranes can be used in multiple scenarios such as cargo loading and unloading, container lifting, ship repair and maintenance, maritime rescue, etc. It can efficiently and quickly lift cargo to the shore, and is also perfectly suitable for container lifting operations. During the repair or maintenance of the ship, it can also carry various materials and equipment. In certain emergency situations, it can also be used for emergency rescue. In addition, it can even be used for the construction of offshore projects, resource mining, etc.
8、Enhance the emergency response capability of ships:
In emergency situations, such as fire, water ingress and other accidents on ships, the deck crane can quickly lift emergency supplies such as fire-fighting equipment and plugging materials to the designated location to assist the crew in disaster relief work, effectively improve the ship’s ability to respond to sudden emergencies, and ensure the safety of the ship and personnel.
