The EC 65

The high-end box-boom for heavier loads or extended reach

Energy Cranes EC65 is a proven machine developed from the popular American Aero Bay-Master 65.

Designed to withstand arduous service on substantial manned offshore installations and drilling rigs, in a typical 80ft (24.4m) boom configuration, the EC65 delivers 23 US tons (22.6 tonnes) on-board and 16.5 US tons (15 tonnes)off-board load capability at 30ft (9.1m) radius.

Designed and manufactured under API 2C-6th edition, the EC65 can be configured to optimize the on-board and off-board capacity by utilizing the established methods within API 2C.

Rotating Structure
The reinforced base plate, to which the bearing, gearbox, and luffing cylinders are bolted, virtually eliminates shock-load and, in consequence, extends bearing life. The symmetrical superstructure avoids localised stress.  Continuous 360° swing control is delivered through two heavy duty hydraulic planetary drives, with static and dynamic brakes, mounted to the ball ring so as to facilitate ease of inspection/maintenance of all retaining bolts.

Boom & Load Control
Box Booms are available from 40-100ft (12.2-30.5m) in length. A jib extension accommodates the auxiliary hoist line/sheave. Boom luffing cylinders equipped with counter-balance valves are utilized to control the boom position. Main and auxiliary hoist control comes from hydraulic planetary hoists equipped with counter-balance valves for power load-lowering. Automatic spring-applied hydraulic release brakes and ratchet/pawls are fitted.  Safety kick-outs such as Anti-2-Block are standard.

Operator’s Cab
The ‘full vision’ cab is fully enclosed and fitted with shatter-resistant glass. Hydraulic controls have dead-man failsafe and there are pressure gauges for each pump. The cab control panel includes prime mover controls/gauges.
