Moving & lifting a 140-ton yacht

Monday 13 December 2021
We regularly take care of the launching of yachts and all kinds of other vessels on behalf of our customers. Recently, for example, we moved a brand-new yacht with a length of not less than 32 metres and a weight of 140 tonnes out of a hall and into the water. For this we used our 500- and 700-ton mobile telescopic cranes. With combined forces, they managed to get the job done.

Prior to this work, our fully specialised project management team prepared a suitable lifting plan for the customer. Due to the weight and size of the yacht, our two largest telescopic cranes were deployed. Also a suitable solution had to be found for moving the ship from the hall to the quay. For executing this task a modular platform was used.
