There is no single marine crane configuration that is suitable for every offshore application. The right choice depends on lifting capacity, working radius, deck space, vessel type and operating conditions.

Common configurations include:

  • Knuckle boom marine cranes
  • Telescopic boom marine cranes
  • Folding arm ship cranes
  • Straight boom marine cranes
  • Hydraulic deck cranes

For vessels with limited deck space and frequent material handling, a knuckle boom marine crane can provide good flexibility and compact storage.

For applications requiring a longer working radius, a telescopic boom marine crane may be more appropriate.
