MAXTECH 65T A-Frame Crane with BV Class Certificate Sets Sail for Saudi Arabia
2025-06-06
June 5th, MAXTECH's factory acceptance of a 65-ton-3.5m A-frame crane customized for Saudi clients, which was shipped to the Middle East on a specialized vessel. As a high-end equipment integrating functions of offshore crane, ship crane, and Port Crane, this device becomes an ideal partner for marine engineering, port logistics, and ship operations in Saudi Arabia with its excellent performance parameters and innovative design, marking a new peak in MAXTECH's competitiveness in the global heavy industry.
Designed formarine environment, this gantry crane stands out among similar products with a65-ton safe working load (SWL), easily handling heavy-load scenarios such as large ship cargo loading/unloading and offshore platform equipment hoisting.
Maximum hoisting height of 4.1 meters, effective hook travel from the deck exceeding 3.8 meters;
Hoisting speed of 5 meters per minute;
Luffing time of 120 seconds, it significantly improves operational efficiency.
Notably, the equipment supports stable operation under ship, perfectly adapting to Saudi Arabia’s extreme conditions of high temperature and high humidity, demonstratingheavy-dutyandrugged industrial-grade quality.
As an upgraded version of A-frame crane, this equipment adopts a welded box-type portal structure, achieving dynamic load adjustment through left and right luffing cylinders, combining portable and high-precision features. Its horizontal luffing distance reaches 2500mm (extending beyond the ship’s side), and the hook is only 3850mm from the ship’s side when retracted, flexibly switching between "ship loading/unloading" and "deck operation" modes. More importantly, the equipment reserves future upgrade interfaces—although telescopic cylinders are not included, the A-frame structure and power system are technically prepared for subsequent expansion to a horizontal range of 4750mm and a hoisting height of 7500mm, providing long-term value for Saudi clients to address diverse engineering needs.
Ingenious Craftsmanship: Full-process Quality Control
Guided by the latest specifications of theBV Classification, MAXTECH implements end-to-end quality control from design to manufacturing:
Steel Structure: Made of high-strength steel plates via welding, critical welds undergo non-destructive testing, and surfaces are sandblasted to Sa2.5 rust removal standard to resist marine salt spray corrosion;
Hydraulic System: Equipped with two 75kW motor pump units, integrated with high oil temperature, low liquid level, and filter blockage alarm functions to ensure reliability and safety;
Intelligent Control: Supports dual modes of machine side control and remote centralized control, paired with a torque display and upper/lower limit devices for intuitive operation and overload protection.
Global Service: Empowering Saudi Infrastructure Upgrades
The delivered Gantry Crane is not just a piece of equipment but a microcosm of MAXTECH’s turnkey solution. Along with the equipment, 3 sets of as-built drawings, BV certification, and Chinese-English operation manuals are provided to ensure Saudi clients quickly master equipment maintenance. The 15-month quality guarantee period and 15-day free on-site debugging by engineers reflect the brand’s commitment to after-sales support.
Future Outlook: Deepening Market Layout in the Middle East
With the deep integration of the Belt and Road Initiative and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, MAXTECH will take this shipment as a starting point to continuously deliver crane solutions to the Middle East market, covering port heavy machinery, offshore hoisting equipment, and other fields. The voyage of this 65-ton hydraulic luffing gantry crane is not just a product delivery but a resonance between Chinese high-end equipment and Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure dreams, marking MAXTECH’s growing influence in the global heavy machinery industry.
