The 3-Ton Offshore Knuckle Boom Crane from OUCO is engineered for efficient and precise material handling on offshore platforms, vessels, and marine support ships. Designed for use in Sea Condition Grade 4 (wave heights up to ~2 m), this crane combines compactness with robust performance, making it ideal for load transfers, supply handling, and subsea operations in demanding ocean environments.
Key Features & Benefits:
With a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 3 tons, and an adjustable working radius spanning approximately 2.5 m to 15 m, this crane works well within compact deck zones while covering sufficient outreach for general offshore lifting.
The crane delivers hoisting speeds of 18–20 m/min and hook travel up to 25 m, enabling rapid cargo transfers. With 360° continuous slewing at 0.8–1.0 r/min, it provides full rotational flexibility for precise load positioning.
The knuckle boom architecture enables the jib to fold inward, reducing deck footprint and minimizing pendulum motion when engaging loads. This design enhances compact stowage and improves safety when working near vessel structures.
Engineered for Sea State 4, the crane maintains stable operation under dynamic sea motion, with oil-filled cylinders, corrosion-resistant coatings, and sealed hydraulic circuits that resist saltwater intrusion and environmental wear.
Equipped with hydraulic safety valves, overload protection, and emergency-stop functionality, the crane ensures operator safety in critical conditions. Control options include radio remote control and onboard console stations for flexible operation.
