Pipe and riser handling cranes are essential components in offshore drilling and production operations. These cranes are specifically engineered to lift, transport, and accurately position pipes and risers—large cylindrical conduits that connect subsea wells to surface facilities. Given the weight, length, and sensitivity of these components, the cranes are built for high-capacity lifting, offering stability, precise control, and enhanced safety features for demanding marine environments.

Typically installed on offshore platforms or vessels, these cranes are equipped with specialized tools such as pipe grippers, automated handling systems, and rotation controls to ensure efficient and safe handling. They are crucial during both the installation and maintenance phases of riser systems, helping to minimize downtime and reduce manual labor. With their reliable performance, pipe and riser handling cranes significantly contribute to the operational success and safety of offshore energy projects.
