Builders of 100- to 350-foot /30-m to 100-m yachts prefer the EZ series hydraulic deck cranes. The EZ series has continually developed over the past 14 years. Still the standard to which all other deck cranes are compared, the EZ-Crane is available in eight unique configurations:

Mono-boom type, sleek & elegant Single-telescoping boom, versital Double-telescoping boom, efficient.  Folding-crane, ideal for concealed storage.

Lay-down mono-boom  Lay-down w/ telescoping boom, Ultra low-profile  Knuckle-boom mono-boom, amazing flexibility Knuckle-boom with telescoping boom

Featuring the most technologically advanced deck cranes

All EZ-Crane systems are constructed from aluminum for maximum weight efficiency. They have a non-fouling hydraulic linear winch system, wireless proportional controls, and the ability to be operated at full capacity in any boom position. Single-part line hoisting capacities start at 2,500 pounds and go beyond 15,000-pound capacity. The EZ-Crane system may be designed and built compliant to MCA-LY2 and/or IMO/LSA standards for full classification society approval.
