2026 New Launch: API Standard Multi-Purpose Crane (MPC) Optimized for Offshore Rig Maintenance
Release Date: 2026
As global offshore oil and gas industries pursue higher safety and efficiency standards for rig operations, we officially launch the upgraded API Standard Multi-Purpose Crane (MPC). This hydraulic-driven offshore crane is specially designed to deliver compact, flexible, and high-compliance lifting solutions for full-range offshore rig maintenance and material handling.
The MPC multi-purpose crane adopts a compact structure and advanced multi-axis hydraulic control system, supporting precise cross and long travel. It flexibly accesses confined hard-to-reach areas above and below the rig floor, solving the coverage limitations of traditional deck cranes. Fitted with an independent arm-end winch, it extends vertical lifting travel and working radius. It covers core scenarios including BOP maintenance, wire line operations, V-door hoisting and drill floor manipulation, serving as an all-in-one solution that saves rig deck space and reduces equipment investment.
Built in full compliance with API offshore standards and available with ABS Design Assessment, the MPC crane meets international offshore safety specifications. It features stable side pull resistance and steady hydraulic output for safe complex-load lifting. The optional personnel basket allows belt-free high-altitude maintenance, greatly improving on-site safety and operational efficiency. With anti-corrosion and dustproof design, it adapts well to high-salt and high-humidity harsh marine environments for long-term stable operation.
This hydraulic MPC crane offers a safe working load ranging from 2250kg to 9979kg, with customizable 7000kg specifications. It provides smooth lifting and travelling performance and stable hydraulic power output, supporting continuous cyclic lifting tasks. Standardized electric and hydraulic configurations lower failure rates, reduce overall operational and maintenance costs for offshore rig projects.
With booming global offshore energy development, multi-functional and API-compliant rig cranes are in growing demand. As a professional offshore crane manufacturer, we provide reliable MPC lifting solutions for offshore platforms and drilling rigs. The upgraded Multi-Purpose Crane effectively improves working efficiency, enhances operational safety, and cuts project costs for global marine and offshore engineering projects.
