NOV Trident Crane
The innovative hoisting system includes the patent pending "winch on king" concept and a spooling system that is designed specifically for the use of fiber rope. It
utilizes a unique rope protection system which ensures that the rope temperature is conditioned and protects the rope from environmental exposure. The versatile
design allows the use of fiber rope, hybrid rope , or steel wire, depending on the needs of the customer.
We believe in purposeful innovation, as such this new design will not only increase safety and improve the ability of the vessel, it will also redefine how the crane is
operated with the introduction of the new Lifting Operation Station (LOS). By integrating LOS into the superstructure of the vessel near the bridge, the Trident Crane
enables close communication during lifting operations onboard.
Key Features
Fiber Rope
Crane Features
• No loss of hook capacity in deepwater operations
• Lower weigth
• Purpose-built for fiber rope, but can also handle hybrid rope or steel wire
• Reduced installation and commissioning – compared to below deck
• No corrosion issues winch systems
• Fiber rope protection system • Lower CoG of crane system – compared to crane with
winch above deck
Lifting Operation Station (LOS)
• Electrically and/or hydraulically operated
• Safer, more efficient preparation, mobilization, and lifting operation
• Near vessel bridge location; crane operator no longer isolated in crane
• Extended operation possibilities, including possibilities for planning,
simulation and training activities
• State-of-the-art dome offering benefit of impossible views, augmented
reality, wave timing feature and timeline feature
• Improved human machine interface
• Increased safety for personnel on deck
NOV has a pending patent application directed to features and methods of the lifting crane design
