MET Meets Challenge
British tanker operators RixShipping of Hull has turned to the expertise of Sheffields MET Marine for a lightweight hydraulic marine crane to meet requirements on board the tanker Rix Condor .
MET Marine supplied a fully marinised Heila HM 12/15/1 PM crane with a 500kg capacity winch which includes a hydraulic load limiting system. A special 15m long boom was specified for heavy industrial hose handling and loading general cargo when the Rix Condor refuels other ships at sea. The crane also has 400º rotation enabled by double rack and pinion plus fixed pedestal controls. A hydraulic power pack also supplied by MET provides power for a cargo pump.
MET Marine supplies a wide range of knuckle, telescopic and stiff boom cranes for workboat and dockside applications.
