HSCRANE 100-Ton Travel Lift Successfully Deployed at a UAE Port

Release time:Dec-12-2025

The UAE has long been one of the most active yacht markets in the Middle East. As the number of yachts continues to grow, local marinas and shipyards are demanding more efficient, safe, and reliable yacht lifting equipment. Traditional mechanical lifting methods are time-consuming, less safe, and limited in adaptability. To significantly improve yacht haul-out and launching efficiency, the local client sought a professional Travel Lift with strong load capacity, broad adaptability, and flexible operation.

After evaluating multiple brands and technical proposals, the client ultimately selected the HSCRANE 100-ton Travel Lift to upgrade the marina’s service capabilities—including yacht maintenance, repairs, hull cleaning, and seasonal storage. HSCRANE’s customization expertise and proven global performance were key factors influencing the final decision.

Project Requirement Analysis: High Strength, Specialized Design, All-weather Operation

The client’s needs can be summarized into three main areas:

High load capacity and dimensional adaptability: The marina handles yachts ranging from 40 ft to 90 ft, requiring a Travel Lift that can adapt to various beam widths and vessel weights.

High-frequency operation and long-term stability: Daily haul-out and launch operations demand excellent durability, low maintenance requirements, and stable performance under continuous use.

Adaptation to extreme UAE conditions (heat, humidity, salt spray): The coastal environment features high humidity, intense sunlight, and salt exposure, requiring advanced corrosion protection, stable hydraulic performance, and robust electrical protection.

Based on these requirements, the HSCRANE engineering team provided a fully customized 100-ton Travel Lift solution tailored to the local operating environment.

HSCRANE 100-ton Travel Lift Solution

High-strength structural design: The main structure is built using high-strength steel with FEA-optimized design to ensure stability under heavy and offset loads. The sling system can be flexibly adjusted to match different hull widths, ensuring safe and secure lifting.

High-efficiency hydraulic drive system: Equipped with a multi-pump hydraulic system, the Travel Lift achieves higher operating efficiency. Variable-speed control ensures smoother lifting operations and reduces stress concentrations on the hull.

Marine-grade corrosion protection and tropical customization: To withstand UAE coastal conditions, HSCRANE uses marine-grade anti-corrosion coatings, 316L stainless steel for key hydraulic components, sealed electrical enclosures for salt spray protection, and high-temperature-resistant rubber materials. Structural reinforcement ensures stable long-term performance even in harsh seaside environments.

Intelligent operation upgrades: The equipment includes a remote monitoring module that supports real-time data access, fault alarms, remote diagnostics, and maintenance reminders—improving marina management efficiency and reducing operator error.

Project Execution: From Delivery to On-site Commissioning

The HSCRANE technical team established a cross-border project group from the start. The entire delivery process included:

Manufacturing and assembly: Completed under a strict quality control system, with full-process inspections and load testing.

Overseas transport and on-site guidance: The Travel Lift was shipped in sections to the UAE, with engineers arriving on-site for installation supervision.

Commissioning and operator training: After installation, the team performed full commissioning, including hydraulic calibration, steering tests, and sling tension adjustment. Operator and maintenance training were also provided.

Official operation: After acceptance and testing, the equipment was put into daily marina operations, delivering stable and efficient performance.
