Marine & Offshore Cranes for Sale & Rent
Marine and offshore cranes lift on vessels, harbours and offshore structures, engineered for corrosion resistance and, offshore, for lifting safely while the vessel moves in a seaway. The class covers vessel deck cranes, pedestal and knuckle-boom marine cranes, ship-to-shore and mobile harbour cranes, and heavy offshore lift cranes.
Because they operate in a maritime environment, they are certified by classification societies such as DNV, ABS and Lloyd’s Register, and offshore units often feature active heave compensation. Manufacturers include Liebherr, MacGregor, Cargotec, Palfinger Marine and ZPMC for port cranes. Buyers focus on classification status, dynamic versus static load ratings, and environmental sealing.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a crane "marine" rather than land-based?
Marine-grade corrosion protection and sealing, certification to a classification society (DNV/ABS/Lloyd’s), and — for offshore cranes — dynamic load ratings and often active heave compensation so lifts stay safe as the vessel moves.
What is active heave compensation?
A control system that pays winch rope in and out to counter the vessel’s vertical motion, keeping a subsea or ship-to-ship load steady. It is essential for offshore lifting in waves.
What are dynamic and static load ratings?
Static ratings apply in sheltered water; dynamic ratings, always lower, apply while the vessel is moving and are the figures that govern most offshore lifts.
What should I verify when buying a used marine crane?
Current classification certificate, wire-rope and structural condition, corrosion, hydraulic and slew-bearing health, and — for offshore cranes — the state of the heave-compensation and control systems.
