New generation PTC super heavy lift cranes

The cranes were designed in-house by the company and will be used for large construction projects (e.g. oil refineries, power stations, offshore) throughout the world. Apart from the key issues of safety and capacity, the design also focused on reliability, ease of transport, and the ability to cope with difficult environments. The design was fully reviewed by Lloyds’ Register.

Two models of the new generation PTCs, with capacities of 140 and 200 thousand ton meters, were presented and demonstrated at Mammoet’s dedicated site in Zeeland, the Netherlands.

Mammoet designed this new generation of PTC cranes because the modules used to build refineries and other plants are still increasing in size and weight. PTCs are said to be ble to build large structures in the petrochemical, power and civil engineering sectors, as well as FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage and Offtake units used in the offshore oil industry), more efficiently and safely. Mammoet wants to develop solutions that save time and money for its customers.
