In the global marine and port crane market, which manufacturers stand out as industry benchmarks? When it comes to this sector, several renowned enterprises have long secured their positions with profound accumulation. For instance, Norway’s Hydramarine is famous for its highly reliable offshore deck crane, whose products are widely used in maritime operations worldwide; Germany’s Liebherr has earned an excellent reputation in marine crane and port equipment with its exquisite craftsmanship and comprehensive product portfolio; Finland’s Konecranes has become a trusted choice for numerous ports and shipping companies globally with its intelligent lifting solutions. These brands, backed by years of technological accumulation and market penetration, are powerful representatives in the industry.
Beyond these international giants, which other enterprises are making their mark and proving themselves as experts in marine and port crane? MAXTECH is undoubtedly a key answer. As a Chinese enterprise specializing in offshore lifting equipment, MAXTECH has evolved from an industry follower to a veritable expert through continuous technological innovation and precise market positioning, winning recognition from global clients with tangible products and achievements.
How comprehensive is MAXTECH’s range of offshore cranes? Not limited to a single model, MAXTECH’s product line covers diverse offshore crane needs – including knuckle boom crane for flexible multi-scenario adaptation, telescopic crane combining telescoping and lifting advantages, and straight boom cranes for efficient and stable operations. It can almost meet the personalized requirements of different clients in scenarios such as ship maintenance, port loading and unloading, and offshore operations. Behind this rich product portfolio lies MAXTECH’s profound insight into the core needs of the offshore lifting sector.
How many offshore cranes can be delivered in a year? MAXTECH provides a clear answer with data: an annual shipment volume of nearly 50 units. This figure not only reflects the enterprise’s strong manufacturing capacity but also confirms the market’s high recognition of its product quality and services. Every piece of equipment undergoes strict checks from design, R&D, production to testing, ensuring that what is delivered to clients is always a reliable work of engineering.
On December 31st, in MAXTECH’s production workshop, a special ship crane was undergoing final pre-delivery testing – the 1.5t@18.1m/10t@3.1m telescopic knuckle boom crane. As test data meets standards one by one, this equipment is about to embark on its journey abroad, becoming another key delivery for MAXTECH at the end of the year.
Unlike the common full knuckle boom models in the industry, it is a newly launched semi-knuckle telescopic knuckle boom crane by MAXTECH, marking another breakthrough in the enterprise’s product innovation. Compared with full knuckle boom crane, this semi-knuckle product features a more targeted structural design, balancing operational flexibility while meeting load requirements in specific scenarios, and filling the gap in MAXTECH’s product lineup for this niche segment.
This new product precisely meets two core working conditions: when the boom extends to its maximum radius of 18.1 meters, it can stably carry a 1.5-ton load, suitable for long-distance light-load hoisting; when the boom retracts to 3.1 meters, it can easily lift 10 tons of heavy objects, coping with short-distance heavy-load operations. Seamless switching between the two working conditions perfectly matches the client’s actual operational needs.
This semi-knuckle telescopic knuckle boom crane is a custom-tailored equipment by MAXTECH for an overseas client. From working condition parameters and structural design to detailed configurations and performance requirements, every aspect has been optimized based on the client’s specific operational scenarios and needs, truly achieving "customization on demand" to ensure perfect alignment between the equipment and the client’s requirements.
