INTRODUCTION
A Shipbuilding Gantry Crane (commonly known as a Goliath Crane) is an ultra-heavy-duty gantry crane engineered specifically for ship hull assembly and block lifting on dry docks and slipways. Featuring massive spans and dual-trolley structures (upper and lower trolleys), it is designed to hoist, position, turn over (180 hull block rotation), and align prefabricated steel vessel blocks weighing hundreds to thousands of tons with millimeter precision.
APPLICATION SCENARIO
[2] Engine and Propeller Installation – Hoisting heavy marine engines, shafts, and propellers into position.
[3] Superstructure Fitting – Placing deckhouses, funnels, and masts onto the main hull.
[4] Block Turning – Using dual trolleys to rotate large hull sections for bottom welding.
[5] Launching Assistance – Cooperating with other cranes to slide a completed ship into water.
ADVANTAGES
[2] Synchronized Lifting – Multi-trolley system allows precise control for lifting and turning heavy blocks.
[3] Long Span and High Lift – Wide span (>100m) covers entire dry dock; high lift height (>60m) accommodates tall ship sections.
[4] Marine Environment Durability – Corrosion-resistant coatings, sealed electricals, and anti-corrosion steel.
[5] High Duty Cycle – Designed for continuous, heavy-duty shipyard operations (A7-A8 duty class).
