We consider factors like barge size, center of gravity distribution, and required loading/unloading speed to ensure the best fit for your operation.
We also offer second-hand barge cranes, perfect for modifying crane barges. This not only helps you save on crane rental and port loading/unloading services, but it also significantly increases the resale value of the barge.
Diesel-Hydraulic Power Benefits
OUCO’s diesel-hydraulic barge cranes are fully self-powered, requiring no onboard electricity. They operate independently, even if the ship’s generator fails, delivering reliable, continuous performance powered solely by diesel for fast deployment across job sites.
Diesel HPUs provide high torque at low speeds, eliminating the need for electrical energy conversion and ensuring quick response times. They are more resilient than traditional motors in high heat, humidity, and dusty environments, while also being easier to maintain.
Our cranes are not demanding on vessel tonnage, and their carefully designed counterweights reduce deck overturning moments while providing greater operational stability.

A barge crane is a type of lifting equipment that is mounted on a barge, pontoon, vessel, or other flotation devices. It is specifically designed for use in water construction projects and offers mobility for versatile applications.
Mounting a crane on a barge or any other floating device presents its own set of challenges, and the condition and suitability of the barge play a crucial role in the installation process.
Furthermore, the size of the barge or pontoon directly impacts the lifting capacity of the crane. It is essential to thoroughly consider these factors before commencing the installation steps. There are four primary methods to secure the crane to the barge:
- For long-term use, it is advisable to firmly connect the crane to the barge through welding and bolting. This ensures a secure and permanent attachment.
- In cases where the arrangement is temporary, placing the crane on mats is recommended. This protects the barge deck and evenly distributes the load. Additionally, wire ropes or barriers should be used to restrain the crane during operation, preventing any unwanted movement.
- Mounting the crane on a rail system is also an excellent option as it provides flexibility and stability. Rail clamps and blocks ensure secure positioning, allowing for efficient operation.
- Another approach is to drive a truck equipped with a truck-mounted crane directly onto the barge. Care must be taken to prevent the truck from moving during the lifting process, ensuring stability and safety.
By carefully considering these methods and selecting the most appropriate one based on the specific requirements and conditions, the installation of the crane on a barge can be carried out effectively and securely.
Barge cranes have a wide range of applications for various onboard tasks. Some typical uses include:
- Oil drilling: These cranes are installed on jack-up drilling rigs to assist with drilling tool handling, rig construction, assembly, and maintenance.
- Embankment construction: In narrower waterways, small barge cranes are employed for tasks such as excavation, reinforcement installation, and concrete pouring.
- Material transportation: Barge cranes are capable of moving large volumes of materials such as soil, rocks, and construction equipment from the shore to job sites.
- Bridge construction: Cranes mounted on barges play a vital role in building bridges over waterways. They are utilized for tasks such as erection, temporary support, and pile driving.
- Dredging: Barge mounted cranes are essential in placing dredging equipment and performing dredging operations in inland waterways and channels.
- Dock maintenance: Cranes on barges are employed for various dock-related tasks, including pontoon and dock installation, structural repairs, and dock demolition.
- Pipe and cable laying: Cranes equipped with buckets can transport cables and pipes and dig trenches for the purpose of laying pipes.
- Salvage: Barge cranes are often utilized in the salvage of stranded, damaged, or sunken vessels, wrecks, and other structures.
Depending on the specific requirements and intended use of the barge crane, various attachments can be installed to enhance its functionality. Here are some common attachments used:
- Pile equipment: Pile drivers or pile extraction tools can be attached to the crane to facilitate pile installation or removal during construction or maritime projects.
- Chain slings: These are used for lifting and securing heavy loads, providing additional support and stability.
- Buckets: Attachable buckets are useful for excavation and material handling tasks, allowing the crane to efficiently move and transfer bulk materials such as soil, sand, or debris.
- Excavator attachments: Some barge cranes can be equipped with excavator-like attachments such as digging buckets or rippers, enabling them to perform more intricate excavation work.
- Clamp tools: Clamps are used for grasping and securing various objects, including pipes, beams, or logs, allowing for precise lifting and positioning.
- Forks: Fork attachments are commonly used for handling pallets, crates, or other goods, making it easier to load, unload, and transport them.
- Grapples: Grapples are versatile attachments that enable the crane to grip and lift irregularly shaped or loose materials, such as scrap metal or timber.
- Rotators: Rotating attachments add the ability to rotate and manipulate loads, providing greater flexibility when positioning materials or objects.
These attachments can be interchanged based on the specific needs of the project, allowing the barge crane to adapt to different tasks and maximize its efficiency and versatility.
The following types of cranes are commonly used on barges and floating platforms:
- Gantry cranes
- Floating cranes
- Knuckle boom cranes
- Telescopic boom cranes
- Lattice boom cranes
- Pedestal-mounted crane
- Crawler cranes
- Tire-mounted mobile crane
