Setting the heavy-lift transportation standards and world records!

Lifting capacity from 10 ton to over 1,500 tons

The SSC (Ship Section Carrier) is a functional individually operated lifting equipment driven by one engine (for capacities of max. 600 ton) or two engines (for capacities of 500 ton upwards) that uses hydraulic power for propulsion and lifting. These versatile transporters are equipped with one or two cabins, located beneath the mainframe at the front and rear of the equipment. When the equipment is coupled together in a system configuration with more transporters such as other SSCs or NMTs (the New Module Transporter has equivalent size and uses the same technique as the SSC but with increased capacities and versatility at a lower cost), the transportation of oversized blocks or complete ships can be easily and safely achieved.​ For the past 25 years, our SSC has safely transported thousands of blocks and ships all over the world.

Steering System with 7 standard programs

The SSC (Ship Section Carrier) is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled CAN steering system, made in Germany with seven (7) standard steering programs. Each axle steering angle is up to ±165°. This allows high maneuverability. It makes the equipment most flexible in use. 

1. Normal drive mode

2. Front drive mode

3. Rear drive mode

4. Diagonal drive mode

5. Transversal drive mode

6. Diagonal transversal drive mode

7. Circular drive mode

Equal Lifting System with a 3 or 4 point fluid bed

The SSC (Ship Section Carrier) is equipped with an electronic equal lift system, acting by proportional valves – controlled via level sensors – to the max. four (4) supporting groups creating a so called hydraulic fluid bed.

1. Smooth movement in all directions

2. Load independent operation

3. Proportional lifting lever to control the lifting speed

 Each supporting group can be operated separately from the cabin or a remote controller and manually from the lifting valve block at the mainframe side. Balance safety valves and over pressure protection valves at each cylinder supply line secure the supporting system.
