Oil & Gas – Offshore
Extreme, demanding, efficient – the requirements and environmental conditions in the offshore oil and gas industry are unique and among the toughest in the world.
Challenges
Hoists in the offshore oil and gas sector are exposed to extreme stresses. Working in this demanding and hazardous environment places the highest demands on both hoist and operators, with conditions far exceeding those on land.
In this industry, the highest quality also ensures maximum cost security, as downtime leads to exponentially higher expenses. Offshore personnel cannot simply be replaced, and spare parts are only partially available.
J.D. Neuhaus pneumatic and hydraulic hoists provide reliable performance under all conditions. Maintenance and repair work can be coordinated efficiently without interrupting ongoing offshore operations – ensuring maximum safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
Benefits and advantages
J.D. Neuhaus hoist systems are designed not only for use under extreme weather and environmental conditions but are also certified for operation in explosive environments. Numerous Ex- and spark-proof certifications ensure the right hoist is provided for safe offshore use.
Our pneumatic and hydraulic solutions offer maximum reliability with low operating costs and are easier to install and maintain compared to electric devices. This results in savings on maintenance and repair times, spare parts inventory, and transport costs.
Supported by industry-specific certifications and factory-certified offshore technicians, J.D. Neuhaus hoists guarantee long-term peak performance and maximum safety – ensuring reliable operation under the toughest offshore conditions.
