The role of long-reach truck cranes and excavators in the safe manipulation and assembly of objects.
When designing a luxury floating residence or a massive work platform on paper, the focus is usually on design, hydrostatic calculations and the quality of the HDPE material. But the transition from the production facility to the blue sea hides one of the greatest engineering challenges: how to safely and precisely manipulate objects weighing tens of tons?
Unlike standard manufacturers who depend on third-party services and expensive port infrastructure, our process relies on complete logistical independence. Using our own heavy machinery, we ensure that the assembly, transport and launch of modular platforms are carried out with millimeter precision, regardless of the demanding terrain.
1. Shore bridging: Truck cranes with 18-meter reach
Manipulating massive hexagonal modules and heavy superstructures requires exceptional reach and control. Shorelines, slipways and marinas often lack ideal access, and lowering cargo into the sea does not lend itself to improvisation.
That is why the backbone of our logistics is made up of powerful trucks equipped with cranes with an impressive reach of 18 meters. This industrial reach allows us to lift heavy modules directly from transport trailers and lower them deep into the sea, safely bridging rocky shores, piers or shallows. The precise hydraulics of these cranes guarantee that the platforms are lowered perfectly smoothly, while protecting the sensitive protective layer of artificial rocks (polyurea) from any scratches.
2. Raw power in the field: Excavators in the 21-ton class
When working on undeveloped terrain, wild bays or when it is necessary to prepare the shore for the safe landing of heavy equipment, crane trucks need powerful support. This is where they come into play. heavy tracked excavators – excavators in the 21 ton class.
These massive workhorses handle the most demanding physical tasks. In addition to preparing the ground for winterizing platforms, their raw hydraulic power and track stability are used to control the pushing, pulling, and stabilizing of the heaviest hull components on the slipway. The synergy between the precision of a truck crane and the raw pulling power of a 21-ton excavator ensures smooth operation even in completely inaccessible locations.
3. Modular assembly on water (On-Water Assembly)
Since our platforms are built from independent HDPE hexagons, assembly directly on the water is often the most efficient solution.
A truck-mounted crane with an 18-meter crane lowers the modules one by one into the sea. While the modules are in the water, operators position them, and then the final mechanical connection and connection of the infrastructure (water tanks and PLC ballast system) is carried out. This process eliminates the need to rent gigantic shipyard cranes and dry docks, which drastically reduces costs for investors and speeds up the entire project.
4. Quick intervention and safe wintering
Having this type of machinery is not only important for the first delivery. As we mentioned earlier, our platforms are designed for modular winterization.
At the end of the season, our same machinery arrives at your location. A truck crane lifts modules from the sea to dry land, safely and quickly, ensuring your investment winters safely away from devastating winter storms.
