M/V Lite Weight with the new deck crane

In 2002, a new custom built Hydra-Pro HP30/5T hydraulic deck crane was installed on the M/V Lite Weight.   The addition of this telescopic crane has greatly enhanced the capabilities of our vessel.   The crane is mounted amidship on the port side, where it can pick, place, and move 4,000 pounds anywhere on the cargo deck.   At full extension, it can reach 30 feet from its base on the port side and 10 feet beyond the starboard side.   Here are its major features:
  • Crane will park clear of the cargo deck (fore or aft)
  • High speed line pull of up to 2 feet/second
  • Full 360° continuous duty rotation
  • Dual function controls
  • 6,000 lb. winch with a single-part wire pull
  • Galvanized steel construction
