As deepwater operating companies move further offshore, they are ramping up their needs and demands for lifting and hoisting services, and equipment providers and service companies are answering the call with a new range of crane, hoist, and winch offerings. TSC Offshore says it has developed a new family of value engineered (VE) cranes to service the lifting needs of jackups, semi-submersibles, drillships, FPSOs, and production platforms. The company says that the new king post cranes offer several cost-effective features, including: • A newly designed lower bearing assembly built around an easily field-serviced, non-metallic slide pad system • A redesigned slew drive system that offers high torque and is suitable for barge, semisubmersible and drillship applications • Heavy duty booms for lifting in high capacity applications • Cranes equipped with long booms for operating in harsh sea conditions.
