The cranes feature: constant tension, fast boom movement with double drum on single winch, fast slewing motion, a hydraulic system with special Bosch-Rexroth components and a built-in overload protection system.

The first four cranes will be installed on two Petrobras offshore oil drilling and production platforms in Brazil’s Campos Basin.

Bill Whitehead of Pellegrini UK said: “This significant order further reinforces the quality reputation of Pellegrini marine cranes, particularly in the developing offshore market.”
