Safe and Efficient Material Handling

PALFINGER wind cranes provide a reliable solution for safe and efficient loading and unloading of supply vessels and flexible material handling, including servicing and equipment transfer on offshore substations, wind turbine platforms, and lifts from the platform or helideck to the nacelle.

Low Maintenance, High Reliability

Thanks to their intelligent design and robust functionality, our wind cranes require minimal maintenance while delivering consistent performance. 

Variety of Offshore Wind Cranes

Fixed Boom Cranes

Our fixed boom cranes are designed for safe and fast material handling on offshore wind platforms.

 

Built from high‑quality materials and protected with a special corrosion‑resistant surface coating, these davit cranes are engineered to withstand harsh marine environments.

 

The cranes combine low maintenance requirements with high performance and reduced weight. Their plug-and-play design enables quick and easy installation in a wide range of work environments, making them a reliable choice.

 

Available with either electric or manual slewing, the range includes platform cranes, substation cranes, and training cranes.

Nacelle Service Cranes

Our foldable knuckle boom cranes are the reliable choice for safe and efficient lifting from the platform or heli-deck to the nacelle.

 

Their compact design allows effortless handling in confined nacelle spaces, making them ideal as nacelle cranes for the wind industry.

 

Each crane is designed according to customer-specific requirements, as well as all relevant industry rules and regulations.

Telescopic Boom Cranes

PALFINGER telescopic boom cranes for the wind industry ensure safe and efficient loading and unloading of supply vessels, as well as flexible material handling, servicing, and equipment transfer on offshore substations.

 

Commonly used as substation or jetty cranes, they are customized to perform reliably in any sea state.

 

With optional features that enhance functionality and safety, our telescopic boom cranes are designed in accordance with all customer requirements, rules, and regulations.

Fully Electric Jib Cranes

Designed for the demanding conditions of offshore wind operations, our fully electric jib cranes deliver powerful performance with outreach ranges of 20–30 meters and lifting capacities of 10–20 tons.

 

Their fully electric drive system ensures an eco‑friendly, low‑maintenance solution while enabling remote operation to reduce on‑site personnel and enhance safety. With their compact design, these substation cranes offer a space‑efficient solution. Critical components – including the electric main winch and slewing motors housed inside the slewing column – deliver robust and efficient performance.

 

For maximum energy efficiency, the cranes synchronize trolley and winch movements, minimizing power consumption. When parked, the electric trolley is safely stored inside the slewing column, protecting key components and extending equipment lifespan.

Stiff Boom Cranes

Our stiff boom cranes for the wind industry ensure safe and efficient unloading of supply vessels and flexible material handling on maintenance access platforms.

Commonly used as platform and substation cranes, they are customized to perform reliably in any sea state. With optional features that enhance functionality and safety, these cranes are the ideal choice for material handling, servicing, and managing various types of offshore equipment.

 

Each stiff boom crane is designed according to specific customer requirements.
