Mobile gantry cranes facilitate maintenance work in the shipyard

Working in a boat yard presents its own unique challenges. Whether launching and hauling out boats, performing maintenance work directly on the jetty or during winter storage in the hall, heavy loads such as engines or entire yachts have to be moved time and time again. Handling such loads is particularly challenging in narrow halls where boats are parked side by side, or on swaying jetties with limited space.

This is where SCHILLING's mobile gantry cranes come into play. Thanks to their lightweight aluminium construction, they can be transported effortlessly and set up in just a few simple steps. The systems can be flexibly adapted to the respective environment – whether in confined spaces in the hall area or on narrow jetties by the water. Adjustable gantry legs and modular support elements make the cranes particularly versatile.

The benefits for shipyards and boat owners are obvious: with a mobile gantry crane, heavy engines can be safely removed and installed, yachts can be easily moved, and maintenance work such as renewing underwater coatings can be carried out much more efficiently. This not only saves time, but also increases work safety and reduces downtime.

In addition to standard solutions, SCHILLING also develops customised special designs on request, which are precisely tailored to the requirements of customers and specific locations. The result is a flexible system that can be used almost anywhere – from boat yards to port areas.
