GP 8t

GP 8t by MacGregor is a general-purpose marine crane in the GP range for stores, service and miscellaneous deck lifting. MacGregor GP cranes are self-contained electro-hydraulic units using a closed-loop hydraulic system for hoisting, luffing and slewing control. They are typically mounted on a pedestal on an exposed deck where provisions, spare parts and service loads must be transferred between ship and quay or supply craft. The crane package includes the structural crane, hydraulic power and motion-control equipment, with limit and remote-control features depending on the vessel specification. This entry is the 8t variant in the GP family, distinguishing it from neighbouring GP models by its listed lifting-capacity designation while retaining the same general service role. The exact outreach, reeving, hook arrangement and operating limits must be taken from the crane certificate and manufacturer documentation.
