In 2025, the expansion and upgrade project of Singapore’s renowned luxury yacht hub — Sentosa Marina — was officially launched. As one of Southeast Asia’s premier berthing destinations for high-end yachts, the marina required a high-safety, large-capacity travel lift system specifically designed for yacht handling.
After comprehensive comparisons and technical evaluations among multiple suppliers, the project owner ultimately selected HSCRANE to provide a customized travel lift solution.
Customer Challenges
As an international hotspot for luxury yachts, the marina needed to meet the following operational requirements:
- Accommodation and maintenance of wide-beam vessels (up to 30 meters)
- Safe and gentle lifting to prevent hull damage
- One machine capable of both launching and maintenance lifting operations
- Adaptability to humid marine environments and salt spray corrosion
- Complete after-sales service and operator training support

- Equipment Model: 160-ton Travel Lift
- Maximum Lifting Capacity: 160 tons
- Span Width: 18 meters
- Lifting Height: 12 meters
- Drive System: Hydraulic drive + variable frequency control
- Operation Modes: Ground remote control + cabin control (dual mode)
- Safety Protection: Hull-protective lifting belts + intelligent anti-sway system
- Environmental Rating: Marine-grade anti-corrosion treatment + IP65 electrical protection
- Additional Features: Mobile maintenance platform + automatic lubrication system
Travel Lift Design Highlights
- Large-Capacity Heavy-Duty Performance: The travel lift supports lifting capacities up to 160 tons, covering a wide range of high-end yachts, including superyachts and sailing vessels for maintenance applications. The 18-meter span design accommodates various hull widths.
- Hull Protection Priority: Considering the high value of luxury yachts, the travel lift is equipped with high-strength lifting belts and an intelligent anti-sway control system. These features effectively reduce lateral movement and impact during lifting, ensuring no scratches or structural damage to the hull surface.
- Flexible Dual Operation Modes: The system supports both ground remote control and cabin operation. Dual-mode functionality accommodates different visibility requirements and operator preferences. Integrated HD camera monitoring and sensor-assisted systems provide real-time monitoring of lifting angles, displacement, and load conditions—significantly enhancing operational safety.
