This DHC 30/3000 O.S. RL is a Ram Luffing (RL) offshore crane which employs hydraulic power for its main functions – Hoisting, Slewing and Luffing. This Diesel Hydraulic version with a slewbearing diameter of 3000mm is of this size in Kenz’ standard offshore crane range, specifically designed for use on fixed offshore platform installation. This crane is optimised for small to medium day-to day lifts at moderate radius, specifically suitable offshore production platforms and/or offshore substations.

Kenz Ram Luffing cranes are designed for limited maintenance intervals and offer a very low total cost of ownership for cranes
that are not used with high intensity. The crane contain first class West European components and equipment.

This Kenz Ram Luffing (RL) offshore crane was designed according to Lloyd’s Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment 2009
and supplied with 3rd party Lloyd’s Register of Shipping design certificate (Design Approval Document).

The crane is manufactured in 2010 at Kenz premises in The Netherlands and installed on the F3-FA production platform. After
one decade of loyal service this crane is for sale
