FF160TC-4A
Offshore marine lifting operations frequently contend with salt-spray corrosion and limited deck space. When selecting equipment, buyers sometimes confuse different boom configurations—only to discover upon delivery that the operating radius fails to meet site requirements. The FF160TC-4A is a 6.3-ton flanged-base telescopic boom marine crane designed for direct mounting onto a vessel’s deck pedestal, facilitating the handling of onboard materials and auxiliary equipment. It features a maximum lifting capacity of 6,300 kg, a lifting moment of 17 ton-meters, a maximum working radius of 11.26 meters, and a maximum lifting height of 12.5 meters. It supports 360° continuous slewing and is operated from an integrated standing control station.
Telescopic boom marine cranes utilize an extendable boom for operations, which differs in function from the articulated (knuckle) boom structure found on other marine cranes. Similarly, equipment such as log loaders or cranes equipped with grapples—designed for handling bulk materials or timber—belong to a different category than this straight-boom marine crane. The unit has a net weight of 2,200 kg, a hydraulic system rated at 20 MPa with a flow rate of 40 L/min, a recommended power input of 22 kW, and a 160-liter hydraulic oil tank. The flanged base features standard-sized mounting holes, simplifying installation at the shipyard; this model is commonly used for deck-lifting tasks on workboats and offshore service vessels.
1. The flanged base provides a rigid, secure connection to the vessel’s deck pedestal, ensuring enhanced stability during operations in rough sea conditions.
2. Equipped with a four-section telescopic boom, 360° continuous slewing, and an integrated standing control station; hoisting, luffing, and telescoping movements are smooth and precise.
3. Includes a comprehensive load chart, clearly detailing rated lifting capacities based on boom angle and working radius, allowing on-site personnel to easily verify operational limits.
1. After every marine operation, rinse the entire unit with fresh water to remove salt deposits and slow down the onset of rust.
2. Always refer to the load chart during operations; maximum lifting capacities vary based on the operating radius. Overloading is strictly prohibited.
3. Regularly inspect hydraulic seals and the slewing bearing; ensure timely application of grease and periodic replacement of hydraulic oil.
Q1: Can this ship-mounted telescopic boom crane directly replace a marine knuckle boom crane?
A1: A direct replacement is not recommended. Knuckle boom cranes utilize a folding boom design, making them ideal for decks with limited space, whereas telescopic boom cranes extend their boom sections to achieve a greater operating reach. The choice of crane should be based on available deck space and the required operating distance.
Q2: What should be the focus of daily maintenance?
A2: Prioritize the inspection of hydraulic lines, seals, wire ropes, and the slewing bearing. Also, check for any damage to the anti-corrosion coating and ensure maintenance is performed on schedule.
Q3: What kind of after-sales support is available?
A3: The unit comes with a full warranty. We provide remote technical guidance, a reliable supply of original spare parts, and can arrange on-site installation and commissioning support if needed.
Q4: Can this crane be fitted with a grab bucket to function as a "grab machine"?
A4: This unit is designed for general lifting operations and is not suitable for direct conversion into a grab machine. If you need to handle bulk materials, we recommend selecting a dedicated grab machine or a forestry crane (log-handling crane with a grab).
