When shipowners or shipyards plan to equip a newbuilding or a retrofit project with a deck crane, the most common question is: “How much does a marine crane actually cost?” The answer is not simple, because the price is affected by many factors. This article explains the key factors that influence the price of a marine crane, provides a rough price reference range, and explains why MAXTECH can offer the most competitive prices without compromising quality.

When selecting or comparing cranes, lifting capacity, working radius and lifting height are the three most critical performance indicators. They directly determine whether a crane can meet your operational needs. These parameters vary greatly among different crane types. This article outlines typical ranges for common crane types and explains how MAXTECH provides precise matching for marine and port applications.

When selecting lifting equipment, users often face a key question: What scenarios is a 3-ton 12-meter telescopic knuckle boom crane suitable for? Addressing this need, MAXTECH’s 3t12m electro-hydraulic folding telescopic boom crane – with a rated lifting capacity of 3 tons, a maximum working radius of 12 meters, an electro-hydraulic hybrid drive system, and a unique telescopic knuckle boom design – has become an ideal choice for lifting operations across multiple industries. As a professional manufacturer of marine crane and deck crane products, MAXTECH integrates this model into its rich product portfolio. Below we analyze the suitable scenarios in detail.

30 seconds — a 10,000-ton vessel is steadily “held” against the quay. This is not a sci-fi movie, but the real-world performance of MAXTECH’s new-generation vacuum suction pad automatic mooring system. As traditional rope mooring gives way to intelligent adhesion, the possibilities in ship automation are being redefined.

Selecting the right crane for your vessel or offshore platform is a critical decision that impacts safety, operational efficiency, and total cost of ownership. With so many options on the market, how do you make the right choice? This article walks you through the key selection criteria and shows how MAXTECH’s marine crane range addresses each of them.

Marine and offshore crane (including deck crane, ship crane, and platform crane) are vital for offshore operations. Their reliability directly affects vessel safety and efficiency. So, what are the main components of a typical marine crane? And what role does each part play? Using MAXTECH’s design philosophy and practical experience, this article breaks down the key elements.

At ports, offshore platforms, shipyards, and heavy industrial workshops, cranes are everywhere. However, for those new to the field, terms like "crane," "deck crane," and "overhead crane" can often be confusing. So, what are the classifications and types of cranes? What scenarios are different types suitable for? Today, we will systematically sort this out, and finally take a look at how a rapidly emerging Chinese brand—MAXTECH—provides professional solutions in these areas.

At ports, offshore platforms, shipyards and heavy engineering sites, marine crane, deck crane (also called ship crane), and offshore crane are the most common lifting equipment. Although they have different names and application scenarios, their core mission is the same: to lift and move heavy loads safely and efficiently. For buyers or engineers new to this field, the common questions are: what are the differences between these types? And which brands can be trusted?

Last week, MAXTECH completed another milestone delivery: a custom-engineered 3-ton telescopic knuckle boom crane with a 12-meter working radius, equipped with specialized explosion-proof features and shipped to a client in the energy logistics sector. This latest shipboard crane joins a growing list of telescopic knuckle boom crane units that have left MAXTECH’s facility over the past year—a testament to the configuration’s rising popularity across the maritime industry.

The Asian Pacific Marine Exhibition once again brought together thousands of maritime professionals—shipowners, technical superintendents, offshore project managers, port engineers, and classification society representatives—under one roof. For companies serving the marine sector, it represents the region’s most concentrated gathering of industry expertise and decision-making authority.
