Project Overview
In May 2025, Nucleon successfully delivered a 500-ton boat lifting gantry crane to a well-known shipyard in Malaysia, which the customer uses for handling large yachts and fishing boats in its coastal maintenance facilities. Below is the specific information about the project:

Customized Solution
To meet the customer's needs for efficiency, durability, and adaptability, we recommended a 500-ton boat lift gantry crane equipped with advanced hydraulic and electrical control systems. The boat lifting gantry crane features a U-shaped open structure that allows it to straddle and lift vessels of various widths easily. Considering the coastal climate of Malaysia, all key components are treated with anti-corrosion coating, and stainless steel fittings are used to ensure long-term stable operation.
Use of Boat Lift Gantry Crane :
- Launching and recovery of yachts up to 50 meters in length.
- Moving vessels from the dock to the repair yard.
- High frequency lifting with minimum manual intervention.
