Sliding Beam Cranes
Our overhead sliding beam cranes are designed to lift equipment such as tenders, rescue boats, life rafts, jet skis, submarines and cars safely and easily in and out of the superyacht. Cramm’s range of overhead cranes includes various types from single-sided and parallel set-up to outward telescopic.
We have also developed a special type of sliding beam crane for lowering items into the water to port and starboard. The development of special profiles for all our sliding beam cranes ensures that every crane has a minimum height, a key benefit compared with many other sliding beam cranes on the market.

Single or Parallel
Cramm sliding beam cranes can be installed in a single or parallel set-up. By installing two sliding beam cranes in parallel even heavier objects, such as a tender, can be hoisted out of the yacht’s garage. Our modular single sliding beam cranes are delivered in different categories but can lift between 2 and 15 tonnes per beam; in parallel, a total of 30 tonnes per set-up. When a greater tonnage is required, Cramm can design and develop a fully customised solution for your specific situation.
With our sliding beam cranes beautifully concealed in the ceiling, our yacht equipment is almost invisible when walking around the vessel. To increase the overhead sliding beam crane’s service life and give it a perfect high-gloss finish, the sliding beam cranes can be faired and painted with the same quality paint as the yacht. All Cramm sliding beam cranes can be electric or hydraulically driven and meet all design standards to fit perfectly in every superyacht. The cranes are also provided with certification from Lloyds Register of Shipping (ISO, LY2, LY3 and SOLAS).
Movable Lorry
For extra flexibility, a movable lorry can be installed to move equipment such as tenders and jet skis around more easily. As well as extra flexibility, the lorry provides the sliding beam crane with a higher reach. This enables the tender or other equipment to be stored further into the garage, freeing up space for more equipment if required.
Movable gantries are manufactured from stainless steel for a long and durable service life. The gantries can lift up to 6 tonnes per unit (12 tonnes in a parallel set-up) or when a higher tonnage is required, a fully customised version.
Double Hook System
A double hook system for sliding beam cranes has been developed specifically to achieve stable and secure handling of tenders in and out of the garage. Two hooks located on a single beam prevent tenders from tilting during the hoist, even with an uneven weight distribution. A double hook system can also be fitted to a parallel set-up.
For extra flexibility, the double hook system can be fitted to a rotating front beam. This system has been developed especially for a single beam set-up to ensure secure handling of tenders in and out of the garage. This creates a very safe situation for the crew, as the tender is turned in the handling area. The front of the beam can be controlled using the overhead crane remote control so no additional lines are required for correct positioning of the tender.
All Applications
We make our overhead sliding beam cranes for rescue boats, liferafts, MOB and for cargo applications. Our overhead cranes can be remote controlled at two speeds or proportionally. Rescue sliding beam cranes are always equipped with cable controls, while cargo cranes have the option of radio controls. Rescue cranes are provided with certification from Lloyds Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas and a DAD certificate.
All overhead cranes are also designed in accordance with Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment (LAME) regulations, but can also be built according to any required certification of a specific Notified Body.

Working with Cramm over the last 3 years has been a pleasure. Cramm equipment is built to a very high standard, and unlike some bespoke equipment found on yachts, has proven to be very reliable. The installation of Cramm equipment has been carried out by experienced technicians with maintenance in mind for access to serviceable components.
Cramms service engineers are extremely knowledgeable of their systems, routine service visits incorporate thorougher inspections of equipment, often detecting potential problems before they occur. Cramms service engineers are always very careful with keeping clean and not making a mess. Working areas are always very well protected before work commences, and left as found. I would definitely recommend Cramm for hydraulic equipment as one of the leading company’s in the industry.

For me it is a big advantage that our companies are relatively close to each other. This makes the verbal communication much more efficient. Short lines often work better. So also the follow up of appointments and agreements work well is my experience. What I also notice about Cramm is that in principle everything is negotiable in a good way, as well the somehow bigger challenges. Cramm is a beautiful Dutch company to work together with.

I would like to take the time to thank you for the recent visit from a Cramm engineer. It was great to get him back onboard after 16 years to see how the system is now functioning. We found him to be extremely helpful and carried out the assessment with great care and was very thorough.
With the system still functioning well after 16 years of hard service we are certainly going to stick with you, for our up and coming major refit next year, you certainly have our trust! With your revolutionary designs, great service, great build quality and dedicated professional engineers, I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone looking for a first class service.

Over the past years Cramm has done several projects on board M/Y BLADE. No matter how big or small, each project was completed to a high standard. Cramm’s service has always been transparent, friendly, efficient and neat. Their knowledgeable engineers are always willing to go the extra mile and their aftercare never disappoints. All in all we’re extremely happy with the service Cramm has provided us with over the years and we’ll continue to use them.

Boat of the Week: This 135-Foot Explorer Yacht Has One of the Largest Flybridges in Its Class

Even a conventional-looking yacht can yield big surprises. The new Amer 41 Explorer was designed not to turn heads but to supersize the functionality of the boat—at least as far as the veteran owner is concerned.

The currently unnamed explorer, now in build with Amer Yachts in Italy, also broke the rules of yacht design by eliminating the beach club and therewith expanding the flybridge.
Miami-based designer Luiz De Basto created the Amer 41 for a repeat client, taking some features from the owner’s previous yacht, Far Far Away, a 127-foot displacement expedition yacht he also penned. Far Far Away has an aft-heavy profile, with guest areas placed near the stern while, like with the new 41, a large tender deck is situated forward. This unusual configuration separates social spaces from service areas while making the boat more functional. The owner loved it so much that he mandated it be a key design feature on his new boat.
“The family enjoyed extensive travels aboard Far Far Away , and their experiences formed the basis for this new design,” De Basto told Robb Report . “The vision was for a larger and improved version that kept the open foredeck, a solution that they had tested and approved.”
The bridge overlooks the foredeck, with a floor-to-ceiling forward angled windshield that gives the captain 270-degrees of visibility. The “floating” dashboard, complete with an advanced electronic package, will be “evocative of a cinematic spaceship,” says De Basto.
While this configuration is unusual, it’s a smart solution, especially with the integrated crane. The system was conceived by De Basto for quick launch-and-retrieval of tenders and eliminates the need for an aft tender garage. The crane also gives the boat a cool look that legitimizes its custom explorer design.
The owner also decided to do away with a traditional beach club, which is almost sacrilege in the current design trend of ever-larger beach clubs and swim platforms that usually include foldout side decks.
“The family never used the beach club on their older boat,” says De Basto. “Instead, they decided this time to increase the flybridge by 55 feet. While that’s not hugely evident from the exterior renderings, it actually represents more than 40 percent of the yacht’s total length.”
There’s plenty of space across the yacht for socializing. The aft side exterior decks are dedicated to social activities and also guarantee the family privacy when the boat is docked stern to, which you wouldn’t get with a conventional beach club. On the upper deck is a sky lounge with direct access to alfresco dining, while the flybridge—the area where the family intend to spend most of their time—is dedicated to outdoor entertainment, with sunbeds, a bar, a pizza oven and a rotating sofa. Forward is an observation seating area for privacy. A glass staircase will connect all four decks.
The interior has yet to be revealed but will have a layout similar to the owner’s previous yacht, with five cabins for up to 10 guests on the lower deck amidships. The main deck is given over to a salon and dining area with sliding glass doors on each side. De Basto describes it as having “clean lines, full of texture and oriented around family life.”
Optima Design did the naval architecture and hull engineering on the steel hull, which has a shallow draft of 7.4 feet. Optima designed the bottom to enhance fuel efficiency and the Volvo Penta D13 IMO III engines will lower emissions. The 41 is expected to have a cruise speed of 12 knots, with an estimated top speed of 15 knots. Construction at Amer Yachts began in early 2022, with delivery scheduled for early 2025. By then, we should have a name for the innovative explorer.

Tender Cranes - What do you have and is it reliable?
- Thread starter IRENE
- Start date Nov 5, 2020
- Nov 5, 2020
We are exploring the purchase and installation of a tender crane for IRENE. I am using the term “crane” to specify a deck-mounted boom. These appear to include everything from “pipe davits” to elaborate multi-functional hydraulic units. Our boat is 40 feet long, and the crane will need to have about an 800-pound capacity. Intentions are to mount it on the deck above the salon via standpipe mount. There is ample 12VDC power at the base of the standpipe. This will primarily lift a fully-equipped AB 9.5 tender. What we hope to achieve with this installation: 1. Simple and safe to launch/recover the tender, such as hauling it aboard for the night to prevent theft or facilitate a hasty departure. 2. Easy to use as we age. I want to reduce the risk of injury as much as possible. 3. Not overly complex. I want to maintain it myself and have spares aboard. Nick Jackson low profile units are intriguing to me. I am also aware of a significant number of pendant failures from another manufacturer. I have little to no experience with cranes. What do you have? What have you used? Is it reliable? What do you love about your crane? What do you hate about your crane? What do I need to know? THANK YOU for your consideration.
Take a look at Roskelley/Olsson Davits in Seattle. Full discloser, Sam Olsson is a friend of mine.
I know both Sam and Nick. Contact them direct and discuss your needs with them. You will get good answers that you can trust. I have both a 1000# winch style crane and a 1500# hydraulic crane. The winch style only feeds cable in and out. My 1500# crane can raise the boom as well as rotate which makes it much nicer and safer than the winch style crane, also makes it much more expensive.
2 years ago I purchased a pipe davit for my Willard 36 from Nick Jackson. I think it's rated at 800 lb capacity so much different than what you're looking for. But I can say that I enjoyed meeting him over the phone, he was very responsive, and the product was well made. Zero comings. I forget exactly, but I think it was around $2300 plus shipping. At the other end of the spectrum is a good friend with a very nice nearly new 52 trawler cat. His tender is a 12 or 14 footer with steering console, so pretty heavy. He wishes his davit crane had power rotate in addition to power in/out, power boom lift, and of course power retrieve. I don't know the cost, but I was probably 35 years old before I spent that much on a car. Peter
Another vote for Nick Jackson- he knows his product, and will work with you on a solution that meets/exceeds your needs.
- Nov 6, 2020
Nick Jackson. Mine is rated at #1500, more than enough for 14' AB with centre console and 40HP Honda. Get hydraulic rotation - as you get older you do not want a wildly swinging dink due to waves or wakes.
Safety note: I have seen a couple of spectacular failures of the "low profile" crane mounted on the boat deck. One, on a GB 42 Europa, was mounted to the boat deck with a circle of bolts. When lifting a dinghy of 4 or 5 hundred pounds, the deck tore off around that circle and all fell over, putting the dinghy back in the water and embarrassing the owner. The second was a much heavier duty crane lifting a much heavier dinghy. This crane had lifted that dinghy for many years, but on this occasion the 1.5" diameter boom support collapsed. The whole low profile apparatus jumped off its post, which stood 18" above the deck, and flipped over the side, landing in the dinghy, doing a few boat bucks damage to the dinghy. Luckily, little other damage and no injuries. Moral of this story, don't overload, or, don't load to anything like advertised capacity. If you can mount transom davits, they will be much safer. Nick J has some great designs. If you need a dinghy too big for the transom, consider towing.

The current boat came with a 1000lb Nick Jackson. It's ~20 years old and still going strong. Not sure if there have been failures along the way. I find it easy to launch the ~350lb dinghy by myself in all conditions we've encountered. The whole process (launch or retrieve) takes me about 5 minutes. Much easier than expected. The davit has a power winch and hydraulic tilt/lifting of the arm (luffing?) but no power rotation or extension. If I were buying new I'd look at both—power rotation to increase control and ease rotation (especially when pulling "uphill" if we are listing at all), and extension to launch from either side or aft. I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay a lot extra for either feature, though, given that they add complexity and lacking them hasn't been problematic thus far.

catalinajack said: Simple and safe to launch? Will wind affect safety? With a single lift point, will the dinghy spin around as it is lifted? There is nothing simple about a crane with 800 pounds hanging off the side of the boat swaying in the wind or a rolly anchorage. Hasty departure? Perhaps with many, many launchings and retrievals you might gain enough proficiency to launch fairly quickly but a crane will never be as easy as a transom davit. A dinghy can be launched from a transom davit in less than five minutes, retrieved in maybe a few more. In an emergency, in a rolling and pitching sea, can you imagine yourself high up on the boat deck rotating 800 pounds over the side and then trying to find a way to get in the dinghy. Also, forget about launching when you are in a slip. If it were I, and my boat could accommodate a transom davit, I would be calling Nick Jackson. By the way, our boat came with a crane. We used it once and determined right then and there that we never wanted to use it again. We installed a transom davit and used it a lot on the Great Loop. Having had and used both, I can say that, for us, there is no comparison for ease of use and safety. Get a crane and I'll bet that your dinghy will stay right where it is on the boat deck rarely being launched. Others will have an opposite opinion. Hopefully, you will get enough of a response for you to make a consensus decision. It's the way of this forum. Click to expand...

If you are concerned at all about aging out of your davit, get power rotation. As you and your davit age and things do not move as easily as they did when new, it will get harder and harder to pull/swing the tender uphill to get it onboard. Power rotation will allow you or your spouse to launch and retrieve your tender into your 80’s. We have a MarQuipt 1500lb davit with power boom lift and rotation and it is one of the best improvements we ever made to our home.

We have a Nick Jackson. Heavy load pictured; 22 lbs.
We went through a similar process when we were on the hunt for a replacement for OLOH's factory installed davit (crane) which only had a power winch, meaning every other function was manual. Particularly because of its location, we found that to be very unsafe and it was our first major upgrade (we went with Steelhead and have been very happy with our choice). Echoing what has been said, if safety and ease of operation are primary concerns, the more functions that have power, the better off you will be. Best case, find a unit that suits your needs with power rotation, luffing, extension and obviously winching. We detailed our experience of our search and our installation here . While we were in the market for something with at least 1,000 lb capacity, hopefully the bases we covered will be of at least some help.
Our boat came with a Steelhead Marine ES1000 hydraulic crane. It is 1000lb rated and works great with our 11.5’ Whaler with 25HP Merchatsu. It has power rotation, luffing and lift with Amsteel rope. The power rotation makes a huge difference if you have a heavy dinghy. Instead of a winch, this crane uses a hydraulic cylinder with 6 pulleys to raise & lower, very smooth. We did slow down the action with the flow valves so there is little to no “jerking”. We do not try to launch/retrieve in heavy seas and winds. Ours is mounted using a pipe that runs from the bilge up through the top deck with a through bolted collar. Seems to be a robust install. We are very happy with it. The only thing I would change is go from the wired remote to a wireless. The new units come with a wireless controller.
We are taking delivery on a pipe davit crane from nick jackson next week. To be mounted on trunk cabin deck and overhang of salon house. Bud

Davits for us No way would I have a crane , rather keep weight down low, not up high.
I know a lot of people use Davit/Cranes to lift good size Dinghys up top with no problems, but this also made me a bit uneasy as posted by others. We have a very small Dink and electric motor that I will use the crane for, but I decided to tow our larger Bullfrog for some of the reasons previously posted. I have been through some fairly good size swell on tight intervals including runs that lasted all night and the Bullfrog with its high bow handles it well on the tow. Again, lots of people hoist large tenders up with no issues, just my .02.
We are changing from davits in the stern to a crane to put dinghy on trunk cabin. The dinghy on the davits in the stern is in our way when we fish, dive or snorkle. We want it out of the way on the trunk cabin when we are not using it. Lifting it on and off is a process that has to be done carefully. Much can be done with the hook up arrangement to simplify and maintain safety. Bud Bud

Bud, I hope it works out and meets all of your expectations. Like I said earlier, there are compromises with any system. You experienced some of the davit on the stern negatives. However, I know many people who have their dinghy "up top" (your boat is not so "up top" as many other makes) and severely curtail their use of the dinghy due to the time and effort it takes them to launch and retrieve.
