Product Parameters
- Comprising the main structure, travel wheel assemblies, hoisting mechanism, steering mechanism, hydraulic transmission system, and Electrical Control System, the main structure forms a "U" shape, enabling the handling of vessels taller than the hoist itself.
- Both hoisting and travel are driven by an electric-hydraulic transmission system, which offers smooth motion, fast response, low inertia, and the ability to start, brake, and reverse at high speeds. The system is compact, lightweight, and space-efficient; it is easy to operate and readily automated. Stepless control is easily achieved during operation, and Overload Protection is straightforward to implement. Hydraulic components are standardized, serialized, and generalized, facilitating Design & Manufacturing and maintenance.
- The Hoisting mechanism utilizes multiple lifting points to effectively distribute forces across the vessel hull. The spacing between lifting points is adjustable to accommodate different hull configurations.
- Soft, high-strength slings are used to evenly lift the exterior surfaces of ships, yachts, or wooden boats without causing any damage.
- Vessels can be arranged in quick succession with minimal spacing between them, optimizing storage space.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a rubber-tired yacht crane and a fixed ship crane?
A: A rubber-tired yacht crane uses tires for travel with self-propelled power (diesel engine hydraulic drive), allowing it to move freely across the entire site without rails or fixed foundations—ideal for multi-point operations at yacht clubs and marinas. A fixed ship crane is mounted on a dock or vessel, offering a fixed position but higher lifting capacity.
Q: Which national standards do rubber-tired yacht cranes comply with?
A: They reference GB/T 3811 Crane Design Standard, GB 6067 Safety Regulations for Lifting Appliances, GB/T 16562 Safety Regulations for Harbor Cranes, and GB/T 3766 General Technical Specifications for Hydraulic Systems.
Q: What advantages do Kelude Heavy Industry rubber-tired yacht cranes offer?
A: Kelude Heavy Industry provides yacht transport solutions from 10 to 1200 tons. Our hydraulic drive system is stable and reliable, supporting multiple steering modes including straight travel, crab steering, and spot rotation. The articulated gantry frame design adapts to uneven ground, and synchronized lifting from multiple points ensures stable and reliable operation. We supply worldwide.
