Alatas Middle East was contracted for this sourcing and commissioning of a used crane for a client in Jebel Ali, Dubai.
A crane operating on a client’s jack up barge had become unreliable due to its age, so they utilised Alatas Middle East and Alatas Worldwide to source a suitable secondhand crane as a replacement. The client also used our Workshop capabilities and Field expertise to refurbish, prepare and commission the used crane to bring it back into operations across the Middle East.
Sourcing the Used Crane
With a trusted global network, Alatas Worldwide successfully sourced a five year old Sea Hercules SH2000SEM crane with only 4,000 running hours. Alatas provided a Supervisor to remove the crane from its original asset, to oversee that the crane was professionally dismantled and prepared for the shipment to Jebel Ali in the UAE. The Alatas Supervisor’s deployment ensured that our workshop crew would rebuild and install the crane in Dubai with ease and minimal delays.
