Rebel Marine will be bringing its new Modular Crane Pontoon to Seawork this year alongside the company’s newest vessel which will be added to the fleet in the next few weeks.
The one-of-a-kind Modular Crane Pontoon has a huge range of applications. With a draft of only 175mm it can provide shallow water lifting operations, marine works from piling, scour protection, general marine/civil works and more.
Mounted on its current pontoon of 12m x 6m the Modular Crane Pontoon has a deck load capacity of 22 tonnes with a draft of 480mm when fully loaded.
The Heila Marine Crane has 4 auxiliary services on the boom tip with quick release connections to run hydraulic attachments, with proportional control levers at the main pedestal for operation. Attachments are available including hydraulic Grab Bucket, Rotator, Pile Driver and more.
Once the crane is in the folded position the whole base and frame can be hydraulically tilted on its side to get under lower bridges then returned to its operating position in minutes. The spud legs can be lifted out and lowered to the deck and the mast dropped.
Ultra-shallow draft allows access to places larger multicats cannot reach. The Modular Crane Pontoon can be mobilised by water or dismantled for road transport to site, crane can self-load and service its working deck and spud legs.
The pontoon has a custom sub-frame within the structure to stiffen the floats to keep the crane stable. Both the crane and pontoon have undergone rigorous testing including a LOLER and load test using water weight.
