general introduction Huisman’s in-house developed and manufactured cranes
are used within the industry for over 30 years and have
become the standard in the design and construction of
heavy lift cranes. Our commitment to work on continuous
product improvement and finding new technical solutions
for increasing demands is reflected in our pioneering and
innovative way of working. We pride ourselves on our
reputation as a reliable partner as evidenced by our
extensive track record and the number of long-lasting
client relationships.

We develop and build a wide range of both on- and offshore


cranes, varying in size and type. Our crane designs are
characterized by increased workability and functionality for the
owner. Increased vessel stability, extended weather window
and larger free deck space are examples of the advantages
our cranes have to offer. Besides a range of standardized
cranes with options, we have extensive experience in
providing tailor-made cranes. In either case, our solutions
have proven to be cost effective in total cost of ownership.
Huisman cranes are designed and built with safety as number
one priority, in accordance with international standards and
are certified by recognized classification societies such as
LRS, DNV and ABS.

High quality level is key in all Huisman equipment provided.


With all engineering and production disciplines in-house,
multi-disciplinary projects are adequately handled which
makes us less dependent on subcontractors. Components
used in our cranes are carefully selected from qualified
vendors in the design phase and thoroughly tested throughout
the production process and again before installation into
the crane. The crane itself undergoes an extensive Factory
Acceptance Test before delivery to the client. Cranes up to
a certain capacity can be load tested, even under simulated
offshore conditions, at our workshop.

Providing real turnkey delivery to our clients is an important


part of our way of working. Our facilities in The Netherlands,
China and Brazil (planned) have quay sides with access to
open sea. This enables us to offer installation, commissioning
and (load)testing of the cranes we build, substantially reducing
overall vessel construction time and risk and time for the yard
and the owner. Using our own Huisman training facility with
simulator, we can offer education and training in order to
support our clients in operating and maintaining the crane in
the most effective and safe way.
