Cranes
and lifting

Our highly skilled crane operating and maintenance personnel deliver a safe, reliable service with experience working in the harshest offshore environments. We pride ourselves on our safety focus and all crane operators, mechanics, maintainers, inspectors and technicians are trained and assessed to the highest industry standards. Our experience brings together a wide range of specialist skills across hydraulics, mechanics and electrics, driving efficiency and lowering costs for customers in the offshore and marine sectors.

For periodic surveys or on completion of major works EnerMech can carry out a proof load test. This is normally completed using water-filled proof load bags which provide a safe, cost-effective alternative to traditional solid weights. The water bags are lighter than the standard solid weights, making them easier to handle and transport, and are fully pre-rigged with controlled filling and emptying capability. The load is measured accurately with a certified load cell, which if required can be backed up by using a calibrated flowmeter to exactly measure the amount of water in the bag.

In addition to our core work, our safe load indicator/rated capacity indicator (SLI/RCI) technicians install, commission and maintain a range of systems, including planned maintenance and emergency call-outs.

Powered by our extensive engineering capability and knowledge, we help customers get the most from their current assets. From conception to commissioning, we work closely with customers to plan and deliver a range of offshore crane maintenance and replacement projects. Our comprehensive service includes:
