Every equipment type in Deck Cranes links to full manufacturer and model data, specifications and service notes.

Deck Crane
A deck crane lifts cargo and stores independent of shore facilities, and its rated capacity falls sharply with outreach; the figure that matters is the load chart at the radius actually being used, not the maximum SWL painted on the boom.
1,719 models
Provision Crane
A provision crane is a light-duty deck crane rated to lift stores, spare parts and provision pallets rather than cargo, typically under 3 tonnes SWL and mounted where the boom can reach both the quay or supply boat and a stores hatch or hold.
365 models
Offshore Crane
An offshore crane lifts and lowers loads while the vessel itself is moving under wave action, using active or passive heave compensation to hold the load steady relative to a fixed platform or another vessel, which a standard deck crane has no way of doing.
192 models
Offshore / Heavy Lift Crane
An offshore or heavy lift crane is built around active heave compensation and a load path rated for dynamic amplification at sea, not just static SWL - the same nominal tonne rating means something different once the vessel is moving.
36 models
Cargo Crane
A cargo crane is the deck-mounted, slewing crane dedicated to loading and discharging cargo without depending on shore lifting equipment being available, sized for the ship's full cargo range rather than only stores and spares.
34 models
Engine Room Crane
An engine room crane is a fixed overhead or jib lifting arrangement sized for machinery component handling inside the confines of the engine room, not for cargo, and its capacity and reach are set by what has to come out of the main engine rather than by any deck cargo figure.
4 models
Ship Crane (General)
A general-purpose ship crane earns its name by being sized for stores, spares and maintenance loads rather than for a single cargo type, which is why its safe working load, not its reach, is usually the number that decides whether it can do the job a particular port call needs.
3 models
Pedestal Crane
A pedestal crane is bolted to a fixed foundation welded into the ship's structure and slews around that single point, the design used for the sustained, repeated lifts of cargo and stores handling rather than the occasional lift a davit is built for.

Knowledge

What a Deck Cranes engineer checks first.

A deck crane is a self-contained, slewing lifting appliance permanently fitted to the ship, distinct from derrick-and-boom cargo gear or gantry systems that move on rails. It combines its own power source (electro-hydraulic on the great majority of newbuildings, older units still found with electric or steam drive), a slewing platform, a luffing or fixed jib, and its own control station, so it can work independently of shore cranes at any berth or anchorage. On general cargo ships the deck crane may handle the entire cargo operation; on tankers and…

Would you like to know more?

One request. A person answers within 24 hours on working days.

Tell us the manufacturer, the model and what you need — a part, a service call, a second opinion. Our desk asks the right suppliers from a network of over 114,000 companies and comes back with a quote or a sourcing plan, not a search page.

Frequently asked

Three things people ask first.

Is Deck Cranes data free?

Yes. Every model page, every guide and every datasheet in this category is readable without an account. An account adds saved searches and requests, nothing is taken away.

My model is missing — what now?

Send us the nameplate. We identify it by hand, add it to the library, and if you need a part or a service, the request is already on our desk.

Can you source a Deck Cranes part?

Yes. Tell us the manufacturer, the model and what you need — our desk asks the right suppliers from a network of over 114,000 companies and comes back with a quote or a sourcing plan.
