Marine-spec cranes for vessel topside picks, dock work, barge handling, and shipyard support across the Gulf Coast.
Marine work has its own rules: salt air maintenance, long-radius picks over water, tide and wind windows, harbor pilot coordination, and rigging tuned for controlled descent. Our New Orleans yard is the marine specialist; Baytown and Lake Charles share the load on channel work. Operators are dock-experienced and NCCCO certified.
Anything that involves a vessel, a barge, a dock, or a slip. Topside picks, gangway sets, container support, dredge equipment, lock-and-dam parts.
Hydraulic truck crane for mid-weight commercial, light industrial, and downtown picks where 40T is short and 90T is overkill.
All-terrain crane that drives at highway speed and works off-road on the same day. Most-requested crane in our fleet.
Long-boom all-terrain class for heavy commercial, marine, and refinery picks needing reach plus capacity.
Heavy-lift class for transformer sets, vessel work, structural sets, and critical industrial picks.
Industrial heavy-lift class for refinery turnaround, LNG, marine topside, and substation work.
Large-class all-terrain for LNG modules, refinery vessel sets, and major industrial picks.

Yes. Barge loading and offloading along the Mississippi, the Calcasieu Ship Channel, the Houston Ship Channel and the Intracoastal is routine work for the New Orleans, Lake Charles and Baytown yards.
The base is not necessarily stable and the load may not be recoverable. Tide and river stage change the vertical relationship through the pick, barge trim shifts as weight moves, and a dropped load over water is usually gone. All three change the plan.
Yes, but only once the structure's capacity is known. Wharf decks have load limits that are frequently lower than they look, so the ground bearing question becomes a structural one and the deck rating governs crane selection.
Yes, including module loadouts, equipment landing and shipyard support. That work is schedule-driven and often tide-dependent, so the window matters as much as the crane.
They change the height difference between crane and load through the pick, which changes the radius and therefore the chart capacity. On the Mississippi the stage can move significantly across a job, so it is planned rather than watched.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on radius. Reaching across the near edge to the far side of a wide barge can push the radius past what the chart allows, which occasionally means a larger crane for a modest load.
Yes. Spreader bars, man baskets and matting are available alongside the crane and are specified as part of the pick rather than added afterwards.
The same NCCCO operator certification and OSHA compliance as landside work, plus whatever the terminal or facility requires for access. Port facilities often have their own screening on top of ISN or Avetta.
Yes, subject to lighting and the facility's own rules. Marine work frequently runs to a tide or vessel window rather than daylight, so night picks are common.
New Orleans for the river, the Industrial Canal and the port; Lake Charles for the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the LNG terminals; Baytown for the Houston Ship Channel, Bayport and Barbours Cut.
