Customer Background
BakriCono Shipyard is a well-established yacht manufacturing and repair facility in Thailand, specializing in the construction, maintenance, and servicing of medium-sized yachts and leisure boats.
With increasing orders and a higher frequency of vessel movement between the waterfront and maintenance areas, the shipyard was facing challenges with its existing lifting methods, particularly in terms of efficiency, operational flexibility, and safety.
The customer was looking for a durable and easy-to-operate travel lift that could adapt to the tropical coastal working environment.
Customer Requirements
Before the project started, the customer clearly outlined several key requirements:
- Safe handling capacity of 50 tons
- Suitable for lifting yachts and medium-sized boats
- Stable performance for frequent daily operations
- Flexible movement inside limited shipyard space
- Easy maintenance and low operating cost
- Adaptability to humid and coastal environments
- Reliable after-sales technical support
As the shipyard handles high-value yachts, the customer placed particular emphasis on lifting stability and safety control during vessel transfer.
Weihua Solution
After detailed communication regarding the shipyard layout, vessel dimensions, and lifting frequency, we recommended the BH 50 marine travel lift, which was specifically engineered for yacht handling applications.
The solution included:
- 1 set of 50T marine travel lift
- Customized lifting span based on yacht beam width
- Heavy-duty rubber tire traveling system
- Stable hydraulic lifting mechanism
- Multi-point sling lifting structure
- Electrical control system for precise operation
The machine was optimized for smooth movement between the launching area and maintenance workshop, allowing vessels to be transferred quickly and safely.
