hotspots - Seasight Davits

Proven and reliable crane model

Titan is our original and highly popular davit crane, among others due to its reliability, functionality, and practical design ensuring easy handling. Outreach available from 3 to 5 meters and according to specifications.

Titan has various safety systems such as AOPS, HOPS, MOPS, and ELL to keep crew and cargo safe while operating the crane. Titan is according to the EN1358-3 standard and encapsulates all components for better corrosion protection in the harsh offshore environment.

Additionally, with our WLL add-on, Titans lifting capacity will increase from 1 to 3 tons.

Larger and variable working range

Hercules is our newly risen and popular crane model. It offers a larger outreach than Titan which, as our Hercules comes with a hydraulic Luffing function, resulting in a flexible outreach which can be used in various working ranges, so it can be maneuvered in the whole spectrum of the platform. This way, Hercules accommodates for example, both jacket foundations or floating structures.

Hercules comes with possible upgrades with up to 7 programmable dead zones in all working directions, making it possible to move around obstacles on the TP. The jib arm rest keeps the crane in its stored position protecting it in heavy weather conditions and during transportation of the TP and the working radius spans from 2 m, up to a maximum outreach of 10 meters and according to specifications. With a boom length between 5,5 – 10meters.

Hercules comes with our trademark Plug and Play system: The cranes are not disassembled after passing the FAT-test, and therefore they are still fully functionable when delivered. They just need to be plugged in and powered up.

Additionally, with our WLL add-on, Hercules’ lifting capacity will increase from 1 to 3 tons.

Increasing the lifting capacity of davit cranes to 3 tons

Scorpion is the economic as well as effective solution to having the davit cranes lifting 3 tons. It is easily transferred on the CTV with the personnel and mounted onto the special designed davit cranes increasing their lifting capacity to 3 tons, typically from a lifting capacity of 1 ton.

There is typically no need for a crane operator license for everyone at the wind farm, but only for those using Scorpion and it has a substantial economic impact, a considerable amount of cost-effectiveness shows in the crane design itself and with such, the lower WLL with a smaller motor, gear, wire, brake, wire drum, inverters and more. The general replacement costs for smaller components is at a lowered expense – such is the maintenance and exchange of expensive components during their lifetime.

And as one Scorpion per wind farm is sufficient, the procurement costs are substantially lower compared with procuring larger cranes with an individual lifting capacity of 3 tons; especially as this is rarely needed.

Designed with safety as the highest priority

Spider has all the advantages as the Titan-cranes and is further upgraded with e.g., electrical slew, UPS system and a secondary brake. The personnel is transferred in a basket designed and built to withstand impacts. And to increase the safety of the personnel, the basket is equipped with cameras connected to a wireless remote control with a display ensuring visual contact between the crane operator and the personnel, basket, and its surroundings.

Crew basket designed with safety in mind

Spider is co-developed with Reflex Marine and carefully designed and created based on many years of experience. The basket went through rigorous testing, such as drop tests at 700m and full-scale immersion and self-righting tests. As such, it is designed for advanced passenger protection and represents a revolution in the crane transfer.
