With the rapid growth of marine tourism and the high-end yacht market in the Philippines, the demand for large boat hoists continues to increase. Heavy-duty boat hoists capable of efficient launching, hauling, and maintenance work have become key assets for competitive shipyards. In 2025, HSCRANE delivered a custom 300-ton boat hoist to a Philippine client. After commissioning, the equipment greatly enhanced the shipyard’s capability in super-yacht services and supported the upgrade of the local maritime industry.
