Installation of MAXTECH 1t30m Telescopic Boom Crane at a Customer Site in Bahrain

1st June, at a port in Bahrain, workers have been busily installing a MAXTECH 1t30m telescopic boom crane. This Marine Crane, specifically designed for port and marine operations, combines multiple functions such as offshore work and electro-hydraulic drive. Its installation has drawn significant attention.

The installation is being supervised by a team of five experienced engineers from MAXTECH. Before starting, they spent three days providing detailed training to the on-site construction workers, covering key installation points and safety precautions. Given the complex port environment with frequent sea breezes and tides, the engineers developed a rigorous installation plan to ensure every step goes smoothly.

Assembling the Power System with Care​

The electro-hydraulic system is the "power heart" of the Marine Crane. Due to the high humidity and salt content in the port air, which can corrode electrical components, the engineers provide double protection for core parts like PLC controllers and servo drives during the installation of the control cabinet. When laying the hydraulic pipes, they thoroughly clean each section to remove impurities and connect them using automatic welding technology. After connection, they apply 1.5 times the normal working pressure to the pipes for over 30 minutes and use professional equipment to check for leaks, preventing hydraulic oil from polluting the port water.

Precise Operations: Assembling the Flexible Boom​

The five-section telescopic boom is key to the crane's lifting work. The engineers first use measuring instruments to carefully check the shape and dimensions of each boom section, ensuring the errors are within the allowable range. When installing the joint bearings, they use professional equipment to control the interference fit precisely. To make the five sections extend and retract synchronously, they calibrate the movements of the wire rope drum and hydraulic cylinder with laser equipment, keeping the extension and retraction error of each section within 2 millimeters. Additionally, high-precision sensors are installed, enabling the crane to control the boom's movements accurately. Whether it's handling containers or loading/unloading supplies for ships, the crane can complete tasks quickly and accurately.

Intelligent Debugging: Ensuring Stable Operation​

The offshore crane is also equipped with an intelligent monitoring system. The engineers simulate various harsh working scenarios, considering the large day-night temperature differences and unpredictable sea breezes at the port, to debug the system. They intentionally apply a load 30% higher than the rated pressure to the hydraulic system to test the response speed of the safety valve and analyze the vibration data of the equipment to assess the operation status of key components. In this way, the crane can detect potential problems in advance, reduce malfunctions, and ensure smooth port operations.

​

This 1t30m telescopic Boom Crane boasts excellent performance. Its boom can extend up to 30 meters at most, and the power system can automatically adjust its power according to the weight of the lifted cargo, making it more energy-efficient than ordinary cranes. Moreover, with its special anti-corrosion treatment, the crane can operate stably for 20 years in the high-salt and high-humidity port environment.

This installation project in Bahrain is another significant achievement for MAXTECH in the Middle East. Once the equipment is debugged and put into use, it is expected to increase the port's loading and unloading efficiency by 40%. MAXTECH's professional installation technology and reliable product quality will surely help the company gain more recognition in the Middle East port equipment market.
