Smulders Projects has hired Granada Material Handling to supply 28 davit cranes for SSE’s 588MW Beatrice wind farm off the Scottish coast.
Granada said it will design, supply, third-party certify, deliver and commission the ‘Python’ cranes.
Each of the cranes is specifically-designed for Beatrice and will be four metres high, have a 7.5m radius and weigh 2000kg, Granada said.
The 1250kg maximum lifting capacity is needed to hoist the heavier serviceable components from the supply vessel to the laydown area on the platforms of the foundation platform, the company added.
One crane will be fitted to each of the 28 platforms being supplied by Smulders, it added.
Granada has already been contracted by Bladt Industries to supply 30 of the cranes to platforms the Danish company is fabricating for Beatrice.
