Marine A Frame Crane

OUCO certifications

OUCO develops and manufactures marine A-frame cranes for vessels, pontoons, and ports. 

Marine A-frame cranes are perfect for lifting large and heavy equipment onto the side or onto the backside of a ship. Also, these cranes are great for launching and recovering equipment from subsea work.

In marine A-frame cranes, the wire rope is guided through the leg of the A-frame. This allows you to place the winch in the middle of the working area on the deck—an arrangement perfect for some ships.

Why Choose OUCO As Your Marine A-Frame Crane Manufacturer?

OUCO stands out among marine A-frame crane manufacturers by providing reliable, cost-effective, and fully customized lifting solutions.

We construct our cranes from specialized marine-grade steels such as DH36, EH36, and HG70, with material certifications for performance down to -45°C. Each crane is protected by a durable immersion-grade epoxy coating and subjected to rigorous testing protocols.

This commitment to quality is reinforced by our experienced quality control staff, who personally inspect every order before it leaves our facility.

By Lâm Hạ on 2024-05-09
Chúng tôi đã mua một bộ cẩu đầy đủ từ OUCO, bao gồm cẩu khung chữ A, tời và điều khiển từ xa không dây. Với một đội ngũ nhỏ không có kỹ sư chuyên trách, ban đầu chúng tôi không tự tin lắm về việc tự lắp đặt. Tuy nhiên, OUCO thật xuất sắc — họ cung cấp sách hướng dẫn chi tiết và hỗ trợ chúng tôi từng bước từ xa. Nhờ sự hỗ trợ này, chúng tôi đã tự lắp đặt thành công và giờ hệ thống cẩu hoạt động hoàn hảo. Thật sự đánh giá cao thiết bị và dịch vụ của họ!
