Crane for energy December 1st 2010 A J D Neuhaus hydraulically operated
crane with 80 tonne lift capacity has
been delivered for operation on the
semisub rig Spitsbergen, designed and
built by Aker Solutions for operation
on the Norwegian continental shelf.
The advanced rig will be used to
find new oil and gas resources in the
North Sea, and the JDN crane will be
used for the transportation of 'xmas
tree' assemblies which provide
essential flow control, pressure relief,
monitoring, feedback and other
important functions.
Some of the specialised features of
the crane include a radio control
system, together with a rack and
pinion drive providing safe power
transmission for both crane and hoist
travel movements when operating
offshore or as vessel mounted units.
Simultaneous control of several hoists
is also provided. More articles from J.D.Neuhaus Limited: |
