Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
Hiab has signed a €23.5 million (approximately $25 million USD) frame agreement to supply loader cranes for offshore wind parks, with delivery extending into 2029. The three-year agreement begins booking in Q4 2025 and continues through Q3 2028. Crane deliveries are expected to start in early 2026.
The contract includes Hiab’s custom-engineered SWP loader cranes, which are specifically designed for offshore wind turbine maintenance and service. These units will be installed within turbine nacelles to support safe and efficient access for service technicians and to maintain continuous operation of the turbines.
“This landmark agreement underscores Hiab's commitment to creating pioneering solutions that power the future of sustainable energy," said Alexander Gelis, vice president, sales & product management at Hiab. "They are specifically engineered for unmatched performance in the toughest offshore environments, empowering our customers to maintain critical infrastructure and accelerate the global transition to renewable power with confidence."
This agreement is an extension of a longstanding customer relationship and builds on an existing supply arrangement. The wind farms supported by this contract are located in the United States, the United Kingdom and Taiwan, with further development plans in Germany and Denmark.
Hiab’s expanded role in U.S.-based offshore wind projects reflects the growing demand for smart, durable crane technology in the renewable energy sector.
