Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Broken wires or corrosion on the main hoist and luffing wire ropes
  • Hydraulic cylinder seal leakage on the luffing or hoist cylinders
  • Slew bearing wear or bolt loosening leading to increased backlash
  • Load pin and load cell calibration drift affecting the load moment indicator
  • Boom structural fatigue cracking at pin and lattice connections
  • Hoist and slew brake lining wear
  • Control system or load moment indicator faults from cabinet moisture ingress

Inspection checklist

  • Wire rope visual inspection for broken wires, corrosion and diameter reduction
  • Sheave and drum groove wear
  • Hydraulic hose, fitting and cylinder seal condition
  • Slew bearing bolt torque and backlash check
  • Load block and hook inspection, including NDT for cracking
  • Boom pin and bushing wear
  • Hoist and slew brake lining thickness
  • Load moment indicator and overload protection function test
  • Structural weld inspection on boom and pedestal
  • Emergency lowering/overcentre valve function test

Service intervals

Wire rope visual inspectiontypically every 1-3 months in offshore service, with a thorough examination at least annually per applicable class and manufacturer requirements
Hydraulic oil sampling and filter changetypically every 3-6 months
Slew bearing lubricationper the manufacturer's schedule, commonly monthly
Hook and load block NDTtypically annual
Proof/load testtypically every 4-5 years, tied to class survey requirements

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Wire rope broken wire countassess against the applicable rope discard criteria (e.g. ISO 4309 or the vessel's class rules) rather than a single generic number - discard criteria vary by rope construction and lay length
Slew bearing raceway/backlash wearper the allowable backlash for this crane size - confirm against Huisman's own manual
Hoist brake lining thicknessrenew before reaching the minimum lining thickness stated in the brake maintenance manual

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Hoist and luffing wire rope of the correct diameter and construction
  • Hydraulic cylinder seal kits for the main hoist and luffing cylinders
  • Slew bearing (long-lead item)
  • Hoist and slew brake linings
  • Load pins, bushings and load cells
  • Load moment indicator sensor/control components

Safety

  • Suspended load and wire rope failure hazard
  • High-pressure hydraulic fluid injection injury during hose/fitting work
  • Crush points at the slew bearing and boom pin connections
  • Working at height on the boom and A-frame
  • Uncontrolled load lowering on hydraulic failure - overcentre/counterbalance valve function is safety-critical

Class survey

Offshore heavy lift cranes typically fall under Continuous Survey Machinery; class surveys commonly require wire rope certification, periodic NDT of load-bearing structural members and the hook/load block, load moment indicator calibration records, and a proof load test at the survey interval.

Estimated lifetime: Heavy offshore cranes of this SWL class are typically design-rated by load cycles and duty class rather than running hours; structural design life is commonly in the order of 20-25 years subject to ongoing inspection - confirm the specific design basis against Huisman's documentation for this crane.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
