OUCO 20T Floating Barge Crane Successfully Delivered to Indonesian Client for Offshore Loading Operations

OUCO has successfully delivered a 20T Floating Barge Crane to a marine construction and logistics client in Indonesia. This purpose-built crane is engineered specifically for efficient cargo handling and lifting operations on barges and floating vessels, providing a safe and reliable alternative to mobile crawler cranes that are inherently unstable on water-based platforms.

The Indonesian client, operating across offshore and nearshore projects in the archipelago, required a certified floating crane solution that could handle both heavy primary lifts and lighter auxiliary operations. After evaluating multiple suppliers, the client selected OUCO for the crane's China Classification Society (CCS) certification, robust marine design, and competitive value proposition compared to European and American alternatives.

1. Certified Stability & Safety — Unlike mobile crawler cranes that are unstable on barges, this fixed floating barge crane is China Classification Society (CCS) certified for offshore safety. Its integrated counterweight system reduces deck overturning moments, providing exceptional stability even during heavy lifting on water.
2. Diesel-Hydraulic Independent Power — Powered by a self-contained diesel-hydraulic unit with a 220 hp Weichai engine, the crane operates without reliance on external power sources. This ensures continuous, reliable lifting operations in remote offshore environments where only regular diesel refueling is required.
3. Extended Reach & Versatility — With a maximum working radius of up to 40 meters, the crane is ideal for loading and unloading cargo, transshipping materials, and supporting marine construction projects directly from a floating platform. The dual-hook configuration (20T main + 3T auxiliary) provides versatile lifting for both heavy and light loads.
4. Robust Marine-Grade Construction — Engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, the crane is built with high-strength marine-grade steel and protected with advanced anti-corrosion coatings. This ensures extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements in saltwater and high-humidity conditions typical of Indonesian waters.
5. Compact Installation, Efficient Deck Use — Designed with a small deck footprint, the crane maximizes usable deck space while delivering heavy-duty lifting performance — a critical advantage for barge operators who need every square meter for cargo and operations.

The OUCO 20T Floating Barge Crane offers a safe, stable, and efficient alternative to mobile crawler cranes on barges, significantly reducing operational risks while enhancing offshore productivity. It is purpose-designed for shipowners and contractors seeking a reliable floating crane for offshore, coastal, and river barge applications across Indonesia's extensive maritime network.

Compared to many European and American brands, OUCO's cranes deliver comparable performance at a more competitive price point, ensuring cost-effective, high-quality lifting solutions. The CCS certification provides third-party assurance of structural integrity and safety compliance, which was a key decision factor for the Indonesian client.

The 20T Floating Barge Crane was delivered on schedule with full CCS documentation and commissioning support. The client has successfully deployed the crane on a barge operating in Indonesian coastal waters for cargo handling and marine construction support. Early operational feedback confirms that the crane meets all specified performance parameters, with the diesel-hydraulic independent power system proving particularly valuable during extended offshore operations.

OUCO delivered a fully certified, turnkey floating crane solution that outperforms our previous mobile crane setups on barges in both safety and operational efficiency. The CCS certification gave us confidence, and the price-to-performance ratio was unmatched.
