Shipyards & Maritime

Shipyard & Maritime Industry

Heavy loads, precise positioning – the shipyard and maritime industry is one of the core sectors for JDN solutions. Extremely heavy ship components such as hull sections, engines, drive systems, or ship propellers are often lifted and positioned in hard-to-reach and confined environments.

Challenges

The shipyard and maritime industry faces the challenge of completing more work efficiently, safely, and on schedule with fewer personnel. The robustness, reliability, and precision of hoists are crucial to move heavy and large loads with complex suspensions, often with millimeter accuracy.

Whether in the shipyard or on board ships – requirements are diverse: heavy loads, long lifting heights, and hard-to-access areas such as engine rooms require hoists, trolleys, and overhead cranes that are powerful, compact, and flexible.

J.D. Neuhaus’ solution-oriented hoists reliably meet these requirements and are used worldwide by shipbuilders and shipyards as preferred tools.

Benefits and Advantages

J.D. Neuhaus has years of experience with thousands of hoists used worldwide in the shipyard and maritime industry. Versatility, reliability, and long-term durability have proven themselves at many of the largest shipyards and shipping operators.

Thanks to their compact design, our hoists can also be used in very confined spaces – with load capacities from 125 kg up to over 100 tons. The modular design with few wear parts significantly reduces inspection points and maintenance effort.

Whether in the shipyard, harbor, or at sea: routine maintenance and the replacement of critical wear parts can be performed quickly and efficiently without interrupting ongoing operations.
