Common Use Cases & Critical Applications
Offshore Rig Operations
Cranes designed to endure salty, high-vibration offshore conditions for lifting pipes, anchors, and modules.
FPSO & LNG Terminals
High-precision lifting systems for cryogenic pipelines, LNG tanks, and loading arms.
Refinery & Petrochemical Handling
Zone-classified lifting for process equipment, pumps, and exchangers.
Modular Equipment Fabrication
Lifting skid-mounted compressors, separator modules, and preassembled packages
Oil & gas operations require equipment that can survive harsh deserts, offshore spray, corrosive gases, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Corrosion Protection: Galvanized, epoxy-coated, and marine-grade finishes.
- Explosion-Proof Systems: Flameproof enclosures, anti-sparking trolleys, copper-aluminum components.
- Remote Control: Wireless remote systems for safe lifting away from hazardous zones.
- IP66 Rated Enclosures: Complete protection against dust and high-pressure water.
