impact include electrification, lightweight design, electric drive system and long operational lifetime, factors that contribute to both a lower environmental footprint and cost-effectiveness for the owner. Huisman has been a frontrunner in the
electrification of heavy lift cranes to optimise energy efficiency. The first of its kind, built in 1984, is still performing today aboard BigLift Shipping’s heavy lift vessel Happy Buccaneer. These are the heavy-lift end of the business. Support ships also need small-capacity hoists above and below deck, and plenty of them, and space and headroom are always at a premium on such vessels.

UK, celebrated its tenth anniversary last year; more pertinently, it also introduced its low-headroom and ultra-low headroom combination chain block and trolley. Capacities range from 1.0t to 10t, or to 12t in the ultra-low version. The depth of the trolley block can be as little as 240mm, chain can be supplied to any height of lift, and corrosion and spark- resistant versions are available. The hoists are suitable for land-based as well as for maritime operation.
