MAXTECH 45t40m Port Crane Shipped to Russia: Two Days of Meticulous Packaging for a Maritime Heavyweight
2025-07-25
July 23th, the 45t40m port cranecustomized by MAXTECH for a Russian client completed final debugging and packaging, and set off for shipment under the escort of a heavy-duty logistics fleet. This customized equipment, which combines the weather resistance of a Marine Crane and the operational flexibility of adock crane, will travel thousands of miles to reach a Russian Far East port, injecting new momentum into local offshore projects and port logistics. The packaging alone took two full days, reflecting the ultimate consideration for the safety of transporting oversized equipment.
45t40m Crane: Customization Strength Behind the Parameters
As a typicalDock Crane, the core parameters of this crane are tailored to the actual needs of Russian ports:
Lifting performance: Maximum lifting capacity of 45 tons (at an 8-meter radius) and a maximum working radius of 40 meters (with a 5-ton lifting capacity at this range). It covers all scenarios from heavy equipment hoisting to long-distance material transfer, with performance indicators between traditional deck cranes and large offshore cranes, perfectly adapting to the client’s port "ship-to-shore" linkage operations.
Structural design: Equipped with a four-section stiff main boom made of high-strength low-alloy steel. Each boom section is 15% lighter than ordinary steel but can withstand impact loads at -40°C—a special optimization for Russia’s harsh cold climate, ensuring no brittleness risk during winter operations.
Notably, the equipment also integratesanti-salt spray corrosion andsand resistancedesigns: electrical cabinets meet IP66 protection standards, and the hydraulic oil tank’s breather is equipped with a three-stage filtration device, perfectly coping with the "high humidity + dusty" environment of Russian Far East ports, extending its service life by 20% compared to the standard version.

Two Days of Meticulous Packaging: Every Step is a Technical Feat
With an overall weight of 300 tons and a fully extended main boom exceeding 40 meters, ensuring safe transportation made packaging a "systematic project." MAXTECH’s logistics and technical teams collaborated to complete this "precision operation" over two days.
A New Journey for the Heavyweight: Expanding Cooperation from Ports to Offshore
This port crane will be installed on an engineering vessel at a multi-functional port in Russia’s Far East, undertaking three main tasks: collaborating with port cranes for "ship-to-shore" container transfers, hoisting drilling spare parts for offshore oilfield supply ships (in coordination with offshore cranes), and handling bulk seasonal fishing catches.
Client representatives noted during pre-shipment video inspections: "MAXTECH’s customization capabilities impressed us—every detail, from boom length to low-temperature adaptation, precisely matches our operation logs." This successful shipment also paves the way for future cooperation: the client revealed plans to procure 3-5 small-to-medium deck cranes and supporting grabs for a new port project, with MAXTECH invited to participate in technical discussions.
From tropical ports to cold seas, MAXTECH’s marine crane series continues to excel with "scenario-based customization." The 45t40m crane’s journey to Russia not only marks equipment delivery but also signifies international recognition of China’s maritime equipment capabilities in extreme environments, offering more targeted lifting solutions for global ports and offshore projects.
