EZ-Knuckle Boom - Hydraulic
Deck Crane System
For over a decade the EZ-Systems
Hydraulic Deck Crane has proven to be of the highest state of-the-art
yacht crane technology in an aesthetically pleasing design.
Nautical Structures manufactures the knuckle-Boom
crane design in capacities from 2500-pounds to 8000-pounds, with
and without hydraulic telescoping boom sections. The EZ-4000-KB-EX
shown above is a 4000 pound capacity crane featuring a fold-under
boom design, with a telescoping boom section included. The crane
has been engineered and designed as a true yacht crane, not just
another marine converted commercial crane.
The EZ-Knuckle-Boom Crane’s telescoping
aluminum boom is capable of being loaded to its full safe working
load capacity in any position without restriction. The intelligent
engineering inherent in this design allows distributed load-deflection
across the boom during moments of high dynamic loading, reducing
the amount of shock-loading transmitted to the deck. Virtually
silent-operating, our Hydraulic Linear Winch system, a totally
non-fouling winch design reflects the innovative and dependably
safe operating characteristics built into the extending boom.
This feature adds the additional element of operational safety
as the winch travels with the boom during operation of the crane.
This prevents any possibility of two-blocking the system causing
damage to the cable. In applications complying with the MCA Mega
Yacht Code, the Linear Winch is capable of being placed into a
free-fall condition with operational control by the operator.
The crane features 360º hydraulic
power rotation providing the ultimate in tender-handling convenience.
Control of the crane is with a remotely operated joy-stick proportional
control on a removable pendant. Manual hydraulic controls are
also provided, located behind a hinged and latched access panel.
A low-profile cylindrical style pedestal base is the typical mount
for the EZ-Systems Knuckle-Boom Crane, although a standpipe mount
may also be used in applications with GRP constructed vessels.
The EZ-Systems Knuckle-Boom Crane
is finished to our highest standards. The aluminum structure is
chromated and then primed with a two-part epoxy primer. Then the
system is faired smooth, and then primed again. The crane is hand
sanded, then moved into our heated finish booth where it is coated
with a two-part AwlGRIP urethane spray-applied paint
finish in a color of white to match your vessel. With MCA Mega
Yacht Code com]pliance, the crane system is static load tested
to 2.2 x design load and then dynamic load tested to 1.1 x design
load.
