HIAB invented the world’s first hydraulic crane in 1944. From there, they went on to produce the hydraulic knuckle boom crane, which was adapted to marine use.
The HIAB Sea Crane made its first appearance in the post–WWII era and has been used in a wide variety of marine applications ever since. From coast guard and military ships to ice breakers, dredgers and trenchers, these cranes are used in many ways. The oil and gas industry, commercial fisheries, army supply ships, fire and rescue, and even Antarctic adventure tours – these are just a few of the several major industries where you will find HIAB sea cranes.
Like all HIAB cranes, sea cranes offer tremendous versatility. They are designed to withstand even the harshest conditions, and they are also designed for long life.
The lifting capacity of the sea crane line extends from 8 tonne meters to 40 tonne meters. Key features that make these cranes high performers in marine environments include:
Optional features include hydraulic powerpacks for each model and remote controls.
HIAB sea cranes have a wide range of capacities, making them ideal for any number of marine applications. Here is just a small sample of what we have available:
This line of cranes includes many optional add–ons, like: electric, gas or diesel self–contained powerpacks; various capacity planetary winch kits; pedestals for the crane and control valve; marine version cable or radio remote control systems.
