300 Ton Mobile Boat Hoist Delivered to a Luxury Marina in Split, Croatia

Release time:Jun-05-2026

Project Background

In 2024, HSCRANE successfully delivered a 300-ton mobile boat hoist to a high-end yacht marina. This marina is located along the coast of Split, Croatia. Situated on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, it serves as a key Mediterranean hub. The facility regularly maintains luxury and commercial yachts ranging from 40 to 60 meters long.

With the rapid growth of the local yacht industry, the marina’s original 150-ton hoist became insufficient. The client required a heavy-duty solution for lifting, safe transferring, and long-term outdoor operation of large yachts. This system aimed to boost operational efficiency and expand their high-end client business. After detailed technical exchanges and site evaluations, HSCRANE delivered a tailored 300-ton mobile boat hoist system.

Customized Design Solutions

Because the project sits in a coastal high-salt environment, machines face constant sea winds and humid air. Consequently, the client demanded high standards for anti-corrosion, operational stability, and green energy efficiency. To meet these real-world conditions, HSCRANE applied several customized upgrades to the mobile boat hoist.

High-Grade Anti-Corrosion Process: For harsh marine environments, the main structure underwent Sa2.5 shot blasting. We used zinc-rich epoxy primer, epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate paint, and polyurethane marine anti-corrosion topcoat. The overall film thickness exceeds 320 μm, creating an effective shield against ocean corrosion.

Smart Load Balancing System: Equipped with a smart PLC system and multi-point load monitoring devices, the crane tracks sling forces in real time. It automatically adjusts lifting synchronization to prevent any risk of deformation caused by uneven forces on large yachts.

Energy-Saving Electric Drive System: The fully electric drive plan cuts energy consumption by roughly 40% compared to traditional diesel options. It reduces maintenance costs by 35%, generates zero emissions, and lowers marina noise, matching European green port trends perfectly.

Project Execution Process

After manufacturing concluded, the HSCRANE technical team traveled to the Croatia site for installation and commissioning. During the project, our engineers successfully completed:

Full Machine Installation and Inspection

Electrical System Commissioning

Load Testing

No-Load and Full-Load Operation Tests

Operator Training

In compliance with European safety standards, the equipment smoothly passed a 125% static and 110% dynamic load test. During final acceptance, the 300-ton mobile boat hoist successfully lifted and transferred a 48-meter luxury superyacht. All performance data fully met the original design criteria.

Client Benefits

Following its launch, the machine generated substantial economic returns and operational value for the marina.

1.Marina capabilities expanded noticeably to accept higher-tonnage, longer luxury yachts. The client also successfully added mega-yacht repair, servicing, and winter storage to boost their market edge.

2.Handling efficiency grew significantly. Advanced controls and high-efficiency drives cut single-lifting prep time by roughly 30% and raised vessel transfer efficiency by over 25%. This effectively improved overall terminal operations.

3.In terms of operating costs, the fully electric system minimized fuel usage and mechanical maintenance expenses. The equipment is projected to save the client over 200,000 Euros in operating costs within the next five years.

4.Smart load tracking and synchronized controls minimized manual handling errors. This setup boosted safety assurances for high-value yacht transfers, offering more dependable support for operations.
