Heavy Steel & Shipbuilding Industry

The heavy steel and shipbuilding industry depends on precise, safe lifting and transport operations to handle large modules, hull sections, and oversized steel components. These activities demand accuracy, coordination, and strict compliance. Independent lifting expertise helps reduce risk, streamline workflows, and ensure safe, efficient execution in demanding industrial environments.

Challenges in the Heavy Steel & Shipbuilding Industry

• Handling extremely large, heavy, or asymmetrical components requiring advanced rigging.
• Coordination of multiple cranes, SPMTs, or gantries in confined industrial facilities.
• Critical lifts inside active shipyards with tight schedules and parallel operations.
• Strict compliance with industry standards, testing, and documentation requirements.
• Weather and environmental factors affecting outdoor and dockside lifting operations.

How Cranes for You Adds Value

• Independent heavy lift planning for shipyards, fabrication halls, and steel facilities.
• Risk reduction through compliant rigging studies and safe execution strategies.
• Cost-efficient lifting solutions that optimize schedules and minimize downtime.
• Expertise with modular construction, block assembly, and heavy steel handling.
• Broad experience across shipyards, fabrication yards, and industrial steel projects.
