Nautical Structures launches new crane system
Nautical Structutes has launched its new crane system, which utilises a special stainless-steel alloy known as 'Duplex'. The crane will be exhibited at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.…
Nautical Structures’ new crane system utilises ‘enhanced power density’ to improve its capabilities in a smaller and lighter package. The company has used a specialised stainless-steel alloy known as ‘Duplex’ for the extending boom section. It exhibits similar anti-corrosive properties to 316-L Stainless Steel alloy but with 160 per cent of its tensile strength. By using this material the company is able to increase the hoisting capacity of the Linear winch within a space that previously limited the winch capacity, creating what the company describes as a ‘high-efficiency, non-Fouling Linear winch System’.
Nautical Structures has also enhanced the non-Fouling Linear winch line payout with rigging-ratios of 10:1, providing 10cm of line pay-out for every 1cm of hydraulic cylinder travel, decreasing the rigging ratio and lowering the risk of appliance failure. The Sampson/Amsteel Blue synthetic line turns around smaller-diameter sheaves, and is stronger than the comparatively sized stainless- steel wire rope by up to 70 per cent.
New specialised slewing bearings and drive motors have also been developed to further reduce the crane’s footprint on the deck, and reduce the overall weight of the crane system. The result of this newly engineered crane series is a product that is of equal quality to all previous nautical Structures crane systems, but built in a more efficient, smaller package, reducing the overall system weight by approximately 25 per cent.
The system is offered in three moment-capacity structures (the load the deck and surrounding structure can support), each with a variety of stowed-to-extended dimensions.
The first of these new cranes will be introduced at FLIBS.
