The section of slewing cranes for stores handling is splitted into two main groups; the cranes with manually driven slewing features and the cranes with electric or hydraulic powered driven slewing gears.
The group name of Cms.-type slewing cranes represent the executions of manually slewing cranes with many functions: handling of stores, work boats and gangways.
The group name of Ch(e)s.-type hydraulic or electric powered slewing cranes represents the executions of slewing cranes for many functions: handling of stores, hoses and workboats. The systems are in full accordance with the present rules of the main classification societies. Various classification approvals are possible according to the customers demands.
A further sub-group of the hydraulic driven slewing cranes, there are the hydraulic slewing knuckle boom cranes so called Chsk.-type cranes
The system consists of:
- pedestal suitable for welding to deck
- Cms. only: column with manually driven slewing gear
