Dry Docking: Lifting vessels onto cradles for hull repairs, painting, or winter storage.
Equipment Handling: Moving tenders, jet skis, or submersibles onto parent yachts.
Superyacht Support: Handling oversized yachts (e.g., >100m) with custom-designed cranes featuring dual hoists or synchronized lifting.
Technological Innovations
Hybrid Power Systems: Enjue yacht cranes combining electric and hydraulic power for quieter, eco-friendly operations.
Remote Control & Automation: Enabling operators to manage lifts via tablets or joysticks, reducing manual error.
Modular Design: Yacht cranes can be disassembled and transported to remote locations for luxury yacht deliveries.
