Huisman lifted the first batch of offshore wind monopiles with its 2,600mt Skyhook quayside crane at its facility in China.
The monopiles with a length of approx. 100m have a weight of approx. 1,700mt excluding rigging.
With the 2,600mt Skyhook, Huisman has designed and built the largest Slewing Jib Quayside Crane in the world. The crane is employed at its own facility near Xiamen, P.R. of China.
The Skyhook crane was dedicatedly designed for load-outs of heavy equipment, like the 10,000mt Tub Mounted Cranes for Heerema’s Sleipnir and the 3,000mt Offshore Mast Crane for Boskalis.
With this lift Huisman demonstrated that the Skyhook is also equipped for offshore wind marshalling ports.
