ALE launches lightweight crane

ALE launched its latest innovation, the lightweight service crane, which is fully designed out of light modular parts that can be assembled by hand. 

Each part can fit in an elevator or transported over an access walkway or stairs, making it ideal for use on projects globally where space is limited and access is difficult. This crane is one of the first of a new range of lightweight service cranes and lifting structures, suitable for lifting equipment and modules, and are certified for offshore, subsea and onshore operations, ALE said.

“As our R&D team has just celebrated their 10-year anniversary, we are delighted to see more and more innovations coming through. R&D first conceived the idea back in 2015 after we saw a gap in the market for a lightweight and versatile offshore handling system that can also be used for our onshore clients and on other ALE projects. We wanted to offer standardized lifting solutions that could work on different, complex offshore assets, as well as our existing solutions,” Harrie Smetsers, ALE R&D manager said.
