National Oilwell Varco brings more than a century of unparalleled experience in structural, mechanical, electrical and hydraulic design of equipment and has applied this expertise to our offshore cranes. National Oilwell Varco has the most expansive range of offshore and marine cranes in the industry. Our Dreco™ KingPost Cranes incorporate those features most important to offshore users — safe and reliable operation, as well as ease in maintenance. National Oilwell Varco offers a variety of models to best suit individual customer needs. FEATURES: The KingPost design offers superior safety, modular assemblies, and simple maintenance procedures. Site installations time is shortened by at least 25% over a comparable slew-bearing mounted crane. Simplified main bearings may be inspected in less than one hour. Maintenance costs will normally be 30% lower over the crane’s design life compared to other designs. Main and auxiliary hoists are mounted in the boom, eliminating two-blocking when booming down. Spacious operator’s cab offers superior visibility of work area for easier, safer operation. High A-Frame gantry allows greater lifts at lower boom angles. Minimal tailswing radius saves valuable deck space. Enclosed engine/pump compartment design allows quieter operation and protects key components from weather. All National Oilwell Varco Dreco™ KingPost Cranes are certified as meeting API-2C standards and carry the API monogram.
