When a shipyard needs to maneuver a 900-tonne hull section, any downtime in the crane system can delay the entire build. Henan Shenli Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. answers this challenge with a heavy-duty shipyard gantry crane engineered for capacities…
Company Profile: Henan Shenli Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.
Henan Shenli Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. has built its reputation engineering lifting solutions for shipyards and heavy fabrication sites around the world. Based in Henan, China, the company supplies a full spectrum of gantry and marine cranes, including specialized shipbuilding models rated from 500 to 1,000 tons. As a dedicated manufacturer of container, gantry, marine, and shipbuilding cranes, Shenli serves customers in manufacturing & processing machinery and engineering & construction machinery sectors. Their Henan facility supports full production from steel cutting to final assembly, with rigorous quality checks at each stage.
Every crane ships with a machinery test report and video inspection records. Buyers can schedule on-site commissioning by Shenli’s overseas service engineers, ensuring a smooth ramp-up after delivery. The firm backs its structural and mechanical integrity with a standard two-year warranty.
Primary Applications
This rail-mounted gantry crane is purpose-built for shipbuilding yards and repair docks. Its high capacity and long span accommodate the assembly of large hull sections, the installation of heavy propulsion systems, and the movement of prefabricated modules weighing several hundred tonnes.
Beyond new construction, the crane performs in repair basins where quick, safe lifts of damaged ship sections are critical. Its electric hoist and PLC-based controls allow operators to position loads with precision under tight deadlines.
Application Scenarios
- Hull Block Assembly: Crane lifts and aligns massive steel blocks during the construction process, reducing fabrication time.
- Engine and Generator Installation: Places multi-ton engines and gensets into freshly built hulls without auxiliary floating cranes.
- Repair and Drydock Operations: Rapidly extracts or reinstalls sections, minimizing vessel downtime.
- Offshore Module Handling: Transfers heavy offshore platform modules from fabrication shops to load-out points.
Each scenario benefits from the crane's configurable span (18–40 m) and up to 22 m of lift height, giving yards flexibility across changing projects.
Product Description: Core Specifications
Available in multiple capacity tiers—50, 75, 100, 200, 320, 400, 500, 750, and 1,000 tonnes—this SHENLI crane is engineered for duty classes A3 through A7. Shipyard environments demand lifting equipment that can withstand saltwater exposure, variable loads, and continuous operation. SHENLI’s heavy-duty gantry crane addresses these factors with a choice of corrosion-resistant coatings and a duty rating up to A7 for high-cycle applications. The inclusion of PLC logic control enables smooth acceleration and deceleration, protecting both the load and the structure.

OEM & Customization
Henan Shenli understands that no two shipyards are alike. The crane’s span, lifting height, and control architecture can be tailored. Whether a yard operates on local AC power or requires specific voltage/frequency, the power source is configured accordingly. Control interfaces range from fully enclosed cabins for harsh environments to compact remote consoles for flexible ground operation.
The company’s OEM capabilities extend to integrating buyer-specified electrical brands and modifying the girder structure for unique load paths. Engineers work with procurement teams from specification through installation, with on-site support included in the after-sales package. With a commitment to post-installation service, Shenli dispatches engineers to overseas job sites for commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance training.
