Slew cranes save space
from Marina Industry April 2023
by ASTAC
The Roodberg Model SPC 304E slew crane provides a fixed alternative to a boat hoist and needs much less space to operate. It also requires a much lower investment in its surrounding infrastructure and in the equipment itself.
The combination of a column slewing crane with a Roodberg boat trailer ensures full utilisation of the available space. The crane is fully electrically-powered and therefore provides a 100% environmentallyfriendly alternative. The SPC’s four lifting points enable more control over the boat, even in windy conditions.

The operation of the crane is easy to learn, especially with the ergonomically-designed radio remote control. It can rotate an unlimited 360 degrees, which makes it possible to position a boat in any desired location and because only one person is necessary to lift a boat in and out of the water with the crane, personnel can operate more effectively.
Durability, long life span and low maintenance costs are achieved by the use of high quality materials. Manufacturing components and processes include stainless steel guide strips, hot dip galvanised fasteners, the use of stainless steel electrical cabinets and a very high quality two-component paint system where hollow spaces are sealed, and parts are provided with curves for optimal edge coverage.
