About CranesTech

We Inspect. Engineer. Execute.

Founded in 2023 by Naval Architect and Marine Engineer Eray Acar, CranesTech is an independent marine engineering and technical service company specializing in marine cranes, hydraulic systems and deck machinery.

Our journey began in Tuzla, Istanbul, with our first marine service projects. Through successfully completed operations, technical upgrades, troubleshooting assignments and hydraulic equipment services, CranesTech gradually evolved into an international marine crane service provider.

02Departments

A deck crane is four systems. We bring all four.

A hoist that drops can be a brake valve, a worn motor, a glazed lining or a limit switch. Our departments attend together, so the cause is found on the first visit.

  • 01

    Hydraulic

    Pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, power packs, hoses and system diagnosis.

  • 02

    Mechanical

    Gearboxes, winches, bearings, brakes, couplings, shafts and structure.

  • 03

    Electrical

    Panels, motors, wiring, sensors, limit switches and cabin controls.

  • 04

    Automation

    PLC systems, remote controls, load moment indication and control upgrades.

03Crane brands

Thirteen crane makes, serviced with their drawings in hand.

Electro-hydraulic deck cranes, knuckle boom cranes and offshore cranes from European and Japanese makers, plus Hägglunds-driven winches.

05How we work

From the first message to the test report.

  1. 01

    Report the fault

    Send the crane make and model, the fault as the crew sees it, photos or a short video, and where the vessel will be.

  2. 02

    Attendance and diagnosis

    Our engineers board with the drawings, test equipment and the parts the fault points to. Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical checks are done on the same visit.

  3. 03

    Repair, overhaul, supply

    Repair on board where possible; pumps, motors and gearboxes go to the workshop when they must. Parts are sourced original or as tested alternatives.

  4. 04

    Test and report

    Function and load tests with a calibrated load cell, limit switches set, and a service report with measurements and photographs for the vessel file.
