Guide to Marine Cranes
Find new and used marine cranes for sale or leaseOf course, there are advantages and disadvantages to each option. Here's how to determine where to acquire commercial marine cranes for your business:
- Choose new marine cranes if you need the highest quality possible.
- Purchase used sea cranes if you need long-term use, but have a limited budget.
- Lease or rent equipment if you'll only use a sea crane occasionally or don't have much capital.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Choose a new marine crane for the latest technology and high quality
Since industrial marine cranes are often used in salty conditions, used cranes may be rusted. New cranes, naturally, don't have this fault. In addition, you have access to the very latest technology when you buy new cranes. In short, buying is a great option if your business is well established and you know the cranes will be used for many years to come.
I recommend:
Allied Systems Company manufactures some of the finest quality marine cranes on the market; they are also known for space-saving and custom designs. Blue Ocean Tackle Inc. offers electro hydraulic marine cranes designed for longevity and ease of maintenance. DMW Marine, LLC distributes Palfinger Marine Cranes, which include military cranes, offshore, and barge cranes.
Select used marine cranes for smaller budgets
Buying used heavy duty marine cranes has its advantages, too. By choosing carefully, you can purchase good-condition, reliable marine cranes at a small fraction of the cost of new. It's a great idea to buy used industrial sea cranes if your business is small- to medium-sized and you (or an employee) are familiar enough with equipment to accurately assess condition.
I recommend:
Pine Hill Equipment Inc. sells quality used marine cranes for dock, ship, and offshore use, including telescoping boom cranes, stiff boom, jib knuckle, and yacht cranes. Triple "C" Marine Salvage also offers used marine cranes and accessories.
Lease or rent marine cranes for short term needs
If you'll be using the sea crane only occasionally, renting makes perfect sense. If you know you'll need to upgrade your commercial marine cranes regularly, or if your business has limited funds, you should strongly consider leasing. For rentals, it's best to consult local business directories; for leasing there are many good national sources for marine cranes.
I recommend:
Harbour Capital Corporation will work with you to lease marine cranes, whether through a traditional lease, a $1 purchase option, or a 10 percent purchase option. KCI Business Finance also offers a number of leasing options.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Most industrial marine cranes reach up to 125 feet and have about a 135 ton capacity. However, knuckle boom marine cranes are typically designed for working in a smaller working radius and are considered 'special purpose' cranes.
