Cranes in the shipyard industry are used in a wide range of applications, from the assembly of individual light components to the transport of hulls weighing several hundred tons and the launching of ships and yachts. Aicrane has many years of experience in providing shipyard lifting solutions to customers around the world, and can provide precise crane solutions according to customer needs!
The 300 ton boat lift was installed in a shipyard for transporting boats in the yard. Its flexibility and maneuverability are excellent for transferring ships.
The shipyard boat lifts have a wide range of applications, such as for repair and maintenance of boats, in and out of the water, and transferring boats in the yard.
The shipbuilding gantry crane is a special lifting equipment that works on the dock, slipway or platform of the shipyard for hoisting and turning over the hull in sections.
The rated lifting capacity of the shipyard gantry crane is at least 100t, up to 2500t. The main beam of the gantry crane can be a single beam or a double beam.
The 60 ton electric slipway winch was installed in a shipyard to pull ships out of the water for repair and maintenance. It is a friction type electric winch that uses the friction between the wire rope and the drum to generate tension.
Different applications within a shipyard require different lifting solutions. From hull component handling, boat assembly, boat transfer on land, to boat on and off water, boat repair and maintenance, and more, we provide shipyard lifting solutions designed specifically for your application to improve the efficiency and safety of your shipyard.
Aicrane overhead and gantry cranes can be used in every process of boat building and assembly operations, providing the required lifting capacity throughout the production process. When working with metal parts, our lifting equipment also ensures efficient handling of loads. They also guarantee accurate placement of heavy loads, such as large fittings when building hulls.
You can select from our wide range of overhead and gantry crane products for your ship building and assembly operations.
Shipbuilding gantry crane is a special type of gantry crane designed for assembling the hull on the slipway in the shipyard. It has the following features:
Large load capacity and heavy self-weight; Large span and high lifting height; Many safety protection devices; Multiple and complex functions.
Shipyard, ship repair yard or yacht clubs can use our boat lifts or slipway winches to get their boats on and off the water. Our engineers can recommend a suitable solution based on your specific needs and budget.

We offer a wide range of slipway winches for moving boats in and out of the water through slipways. The slipway can be used when a boat must be pulled ashore for repairs and maintenance. Generally, there are two options to pull the boat using slipway winches: using airbags to pull the boat ashore and using the rail trolley to pull the boat ashore.
A. Using the airbags to pull boats ashore
Brief Introduction:
Airbags are an innovative way of pulling ships ashore. Its economic efficiency, flexibility, security and technicality are excellent. The construction cost is relatively low, the maintenance and management are convenient. It can be adapted to different types of ships.
Many large ships use airbags to pull them ashore, especially suitable for new shipyards or some temporary ship launching and ashore tasks, such as pulling ship ashore for repair in remote areas.
Project Case in Indonesia:
An AQ-JMM 60 ton slipway winch was installed in Indonesia to pull boats ashore for maintenance. The customer chose the AQ-JMM electric friction winch to pull the boat based on its many advantages:
B. Using the rail trolley to pull boats ashore
Brief Introduction:
The rail trolley is a traditional way of pulling boats ashore. It is often used for pulling small tonnage ships ashore. Generally, the pulley will be added to increase the magnification to increase the end pulling force.
When you communicate with our engineers, you will need to provide the following parameters in order to recommend a suitable slipway winch for your application:
Project Case in UAE:
An AQ-JMM slipway winch was delivered to UAE for 500T vessel. The customer will use the winch to pull vessels along the rail. According to the customer requirements, the slipway winch speed is controlled by frequency inverter speed control.
Boat owners can use our boat lifts to get the boat out of the water and transfer it to the repair workshop for repair and maintenance. The boat hoist has the functions of straight movement, 90-degree lateral movement, oblique movement, pivot steering, Ackerman steering, forward swing and retral swing, which allow you to place the boat to any designated place as required.
We have provided a 500 ton boat travel lift for boat transfer to one of our our Nigerian customers. Check out below to find out how we provided the boat lift solution for this Nigerian customer, as well as the 500 ton boat lift test video in our factory before shipping.
