Provides a greater zone of protection and safeguards yourcrane
housing from damage

A MacGregor steel-frame protection
cage ensures that sensitive
components at the top of a shipboard
crane housing are protected from
accidental damage caused, forexample, by direct impact from port
gantry cranes.
The protection cage provides a greaterzone of protection and increases theprobability that a gantry crane driverwill detect a potential problem before
causing any damage to vital machineryon top of the crane housing.
Damage to wire-rope sheaves andderailment protectors is difficult to
detect, and even minor impacts canlead to significant accidents andexpensive repair costs. Any damage
to the protection cage can easily bedetected.

Wire sheave guards
Protect wire rope and prevent accidents from happening

MacGregor wire sheave guards protect wire-rope
sheaves from damage and minimize the risk of thembreaking away from the crane.
Wire sheaves, located at the top of a shipboard crane
housing, contain bearings designed for high-load
operations. If a bearing breaks down in the sheave oris damaged by, for example, a gantry crane, there is arisk that the entire sheave will be pushed off the shaft.
If the wire sheaves or the wire guides at the top of thecrane are damaged, they can potentially fall, leading
to serious injury and/or loss of life.
The sheave guards are available in two
interchangeable designs; A and B. As standard, all
new cranes are delivered with design A, therefore thiswould be the recommendation for any upgrade ormodernization.

Crane control
system CC3000
The crane safety system includes a well-provenand very reliable MacGregor crane control
system.
• The safety system includes a display located in thecabin, the ’Mac-Heavyvisor’. It gives the driver information about current hook load, hoisting speed
and outreach, and other information from thecrane control system. The display can also show
list and trim in degrees (optional).
• The primary software-based safety system isconnected to load cells, encoders and transmittersand also has a degree of redundancy.

• Information shown on the display for each crane
can be transmitted via the slip ring device,through a cable, to a PC in the ship’s office or
the bridge. This makes it easy for the chief
officer to have excellent control of a team lift
operation, for example.
• The crane display is also used for logging crane
operation.
• The CC3000 is type-approved
by DNV GL, which tested
critical hardware andsoftware components.

Case study:

New crane control features enable
faster, safer and closer lifts
Two new control system features deliver enhanced cargo handling capabilities for MacGregor cranes; one allows
a single operator to control two separate cranes in a team lift, the other refines the anti-collision separation
between adjacent cranes
MacGregor continuously hones its products, neversatisfied that they cannot be improved. Two important
advances to its market-leading CC3000 control system
for its range of deck cranes are presented. The ‘Auto
Team’ and ‘anti-collision’ functions both expand
operational capabilities and can be implemented on
new MacGregor cranes equipped with the latest version
of CC3000. It is also possible to update older cranes
equipped with this control system to incorporate thesefunctions.
“The better our crane control systems are, the greater
the productivity of the crane,” says Per-Erik Nilsson,
Marketing and Sales Director for MacGregor Cranes.
“If we can deliver faster, safer and more accurate cargohandling capabilities, our customers will benefit from
improved port turnaround times. In some cases, they
can perform more complex lifts than previously
possible. For example, big and bulky project cargo will
be loaded and discharged much faster having thesefeatures installed.
“It has always been possible to operate twin cranes –two cranes on the some foundation – in team with one
operator. But to operate two separate cranes with only
one operator is a real breakthrough and significantly
extends a crane’s, and therefore a vessel’s,capabilities.”
Automatic control of separate cranes is made possibleby the CC3000’s ‘Auto Team’ function for team lifts.
“With the CC3000 control system running in Auto Teammode, lifts are faster and safer than with two separate
operators using manual controls. Auto Team also
makes it possible for two sets of twin-cranes to be
operated, which means that one operator can control
four cranes,” he notes.
“Special ‘team beams’ that are sometimes used during
manual team lifts are not needed in Auto Team mode.”load is lifted and balanced. The position of the cranes
is then calibrated. Auto Team mode can now be
engaged and the lift commenced; the distance between
the crane hooks and the rotation of the cargo ismaintained during the Team lift operation.
Lift data is displayed on a screen in the operator’scabin; it is also possible to use an external display forsupervising the operation from the ship’s bridge. The
display provides information about weight, outreach, lift
height and lift speed for both cranes. Auto Team hasa safety system for avoiding and dealing with overload
situations. It provides on-screen information on how toprevent and balance-out Team overload conditions.
MacGregor’s second CC3000 advance is its anticollision feature, which is used to prevent collisions
between adjacent cranes. Based on an earlier
anticollision system for dynamic obstacles, anticollision allows cranes to work closer together, while
maintaining a safe separation. The previous systemused a ‘stop wall’ between the cranes, while anticollision employs a ‘safety box’ around the crane andits jib,” he says. “anti-collision makes sure that theboxes of adjacent cranes do not overlap with eachother.
“Anti-collision is very similar to the normal anti-collisionsystem in terms of encoders and alarms, but insteadof having a defined stop-zone, it calculates a safety
box around each crane jib and crane housing. This
expands the cranes’ operating parameters, andultimately improves cargo handling rates. In addition to
the calculated no-go areas, there are alsoprecautionary approach zones where luffing and/or
slewing speed is automatically reduced. Anti-collision
can also be used to avoid static obstacles,” he adds.

MacGregor’s latest CC3000 microcomputer-based crane control system delivers a number of advantages
including improved operational efficiency, easy maintenance, enhanced monitoring capabilities andcomprehensive diagnostic functions. The CC3000 enables the capture of valuable analytical data such as thenumber of lifts, cycle times, overloads and brake cycles.
The CC3000 replaces the CC2000 and older B-box control systems.

Jib Collision
Prevention
Fixated safety luffing limit switch (proximity switches) to prevent the allowed working range from being exceeded
even if the working limit switch is not properly set. Most of the jib damages occur due to incorrectly adjusted limit
switches. The independent working proximity switch is activated and stops the jib once the critical area isreached.

Benefits•

Active risk reduction against misuse and time-consuming repairs / off hire.

•

A damage to the jib causes high expenses like off-hire costs, locating a suitable repair location and therepair costs themselves.

•

Usually, the time frame of the repair plan is 2-3 weeks. At this time the crane is blocked for any cargo
operation.

•

This is a valuable device for preventing jib damages and jib collisions.

Anti-Collision
Protection(Fixed Deck Items)
The Anti-Collision System is an additional function for protecting against collisions between the crane jib andfixated obstacles (e.g. superstructure, deckhouse, etc.) on board. The fixated obstacles on board are stored in thecoordinating system in the crane control system. If the crane jib is located in the restricted area, the crane
movements for slewing and topping are automatically stopped. By luffing up the jib above the stored coordinate,
the restricted area can be left.

Benefits•

Protection of crane and ship steel structures. Risk control.

•

The Anti-collision protection is an “Upgrade” of the jib collision
prevention.

Anti-Collision
Protection (Anti-Jib Conflict)
The Anti-Collision System is an additional function that stops the crane jibs from colliding with each other.
Sometimes the situation requires that one cargo hold is discharged with two cranes. The active collision
protection calculates the jib positions in real time and stops the jib movement before a collision takes place.

Active Pendulation
Control

Assisted cargo handling not only improves discharge times and the safety of crew and cargo, but it can also
have major benefits for offshore and trans-loading operations.

MacGregor’s APC system uses a
set of motion sensors to detect andprevent pendulation induced by sea
motion and wind. It also has theability to compensate for ship
motions in other vessels during
ship-to-ship cargo transfer. Thisis achieved by placing sensors on
the target vessel. The system thenuses motion data from both vessels
to make cargo landing and lifting
operations as smooth and safe as
possible.

MacGregor’s APC system uses motion data to make cargo landing and lifting operations
as smooth and safe as possible

MacGregor can offer a uniquecargo handling aid, called active
pendulation control (APC), whichcancels out swing motions whencranes are transferring cargo
between moving or stationary
objects.
As cargo positioning may easily
account for as much as 40 percentof the total crane cycle time,
anything that helps to reduce thiscan therefore yield a large gain inproductivity. MacGregor believes
that cargo handling aids could be
used to benefit numerous
operations, including the installationof offshore windmills and otheroffshore heavy load handling
operations.

MacGregor recognises thatchallenging load handling situations
exist in the open sea, in high sea
states, when both the discharging
and the receiving vessels are
moving. Sometimes having a skilledcrane operator is not enough tocope with them; these conditions
can endanger the safety of
employees and cargo.
Also, as ships increase in size,
larger vessels may frequently beunable to get into convenient ports.
Therefore, transloading at sea will
become increasingly necessary andmay not even be possible withoutanti-pendulation assistance forsome bulkers or container ships.

APC is especially useful on bulker
for less experienced drivers who
could benefit from greater precisionand faster positioning of the grab
above the hoppers. Minimized
pendulation of the grab can also
increase overall operational speed
and reduce stress in bearings,
wires and sheaves. At an
unprotected harbor, where waves
can cause significant vessel
movement, APC also helps thecrane operator reduce pendulation.
A gyroscope installed in the hookblock communicates wireless withthe crane control system. The
wireless communication reduces
the need for cables that are
exposed to wear and tear and thatcan cause downtime for repairs. All
the maintenance required is abattery change between shifts.

Active Rotation
Control (ARC)

Pin-point positioning saves time and money

MacGregor has developed an Active Rotation Control (ARC) system for its range of MacGregor cranes thatstabilities

Positioning cargo in port is a difficult
and time-consuming job for the
crane driver. Limited vision, heavy
rain and wind make it even more
complicated. A load can startrotating in the air and stopping thismotion requires a highly-skilledcrane driver. Even for an
experienced driver, this operation
takes a lot of time and effort. The
ARC system overcomes theseissues. It has an automatic swivel
control that maintains the cargo’s
position during the entire

operation. When activated, cargo
positioning times can be shortenedby up to 30 percent. Shorter
positioning times and a smooth
drive significantly lower energy
con-sumption and increase
efficiency. These ensure that the
ARC solution pays for itself in ashort period of time.

it into the correct position. This
work can be dangerous and there
is a risk that the cargo could bumpinto surrounding structures,
potentially damaging them and thecargo. With the ARC solution,these hazardous and timeconsuming tasks can be eliminatedas the positioning work is
automatic.

Eliminates hazardous tasks Port
workers often have to attach wires
to the load and manually pull

Easy to use
It only takes a few minutes to learn how to use the system. There is aseparate control box with two controls: one to set the start position and one
to set the end position. With joystick control, the cargo’s position can be
accurately fine-tuned.

Offline pump & filter

Contaminated oil is one of the main causes of operating
faults in hydraulic systems and can significantly impact
the service life of equipment.
MacGregor’s offline filtration unit filters the hydraulic oilin a separate circuit using a high-capacity filter element.
The unit extends the usable life of oil by relieving the oil
filters in the main flow and reducing water and solids
contamination.
The unit is installed close to the main hydraulic tank andoperates independently of the main hydraulic system toprovide 24-hour continuous filtration.
The filtration unit is suitable for crane types with oil tankvolumes up to 1,000 liters and includes: an electricmotor, an electric switch with overload protection, a
10m electric cable, a hydraulic pump and a filter holder;
all of which are pre-mounted on a steel plate for easy
installation onto the crane. All necessary hydraulichoses and couplings are included.
The electric cable connects to a separate feed with its
own power supply to ensure continuous operation evenwhen the crane is not running. If the oil is too cold or
the filter element is dirty, a manometer will indicate apressure drop inside the filter cartridge. In response, apressure relief valve will divert the oil. The pressuregauge displays the pressure level before and after a
cartridge change to facilitate easy measuring of thepressure and sampling of oil.
To allow the filter cartridge to be changed, a clearanceof 400mm should be reserved during installation.
Benefits• Eliminates/dramatically reduces both solid and watercontaminants• Increased oil purity improves crane reliability andlifetime of hydraulic components• Fewer oil changes• Separate filter system with constant pressure and low
flow provides extremely efficient filtration• An optional thermostat can be fitted to the system tofacilitate an automatic start/stop function• The unit is delivered complete with all the necessary
mechanical, hydraulic and electrical parts, together
with installation instructions

Crane House
Ventilation
Considerably lower temperature inside the crane house
GeneralVentilation fan ﬁtted through cranehouse wall. Adequate ventilation is an
important prerequisitefor reliable cranemachinery and provides a comfortableworking environment for the crane
operator.
To increase crane housing ventilation,
which also means better cooling
capacity in older cranes’ hydraulicsystems, it is recommended that a
new modernized ventilation unit isinstalled, as used in our cranes today..

Benefits• Crane house ventilation will
improve working environment forservice personnel and operatorsand increase lifetime of importantand expensive.
• A thermostat is included in thestarting equipment and theelectric motor with fan will thus
start and stop automaticallyaccording to settings inthermostat.

• It is our standard ventilator in ourcurrent production and available
from stock..
• Intended for crane types: G, H, L
and GL. In principle suitable on
all cranes which do not have any

Oil Cooler upgrade
Improved cooling capacity increase a crane’s lifetime

GeneralA ten-year-old cooler has most probably lost at least 50
percent of its cooling capacity. This is due to corrosion
or bad contact between the oil pipes and coolingflanges. Instead of working as a conductor of heat it
works like an isolator, the cooling flanges will also be
clogged due to dirt and salt corrosion.
The price of a new complete cooler unit is in mostcases lower than the existing cooler element. Separate
cooling elements or electric motors can be delivered
separately as spares later on.
Advantages• Improvement in cooling capacity of up to 80 percent• Lifetime of expensive hydraulic components, such as
pumps and motors, increased by 50 percent• Much less wear on hydraulic components• Easier and cheaper to service and maintain• Standard cooler in current production, available from stock• Lighter in weight than previous models (approx. 50kg).

Gear Oil Cooler
for Grab Operation
Additional gear oil cooling system to increase the lifting cycles on multi purpose or heavy lift cranes for grab
operation. Each crane is designed for a defined number of lifting cycles. An uncontrolled increase in the lifting
cycles might cause an overheating of the luffing- and hoisting gearboxes which leads to heavy and expensive
damages. In order to keep the oil temperature within the working range, an additional oil cooling system can beinstalled.

Benefits•

More flexibility of cargo handling and charter inquiries.

•

Equipment protection even with increased lifting
cycles.

•Sustainable value enhancement due to increased
usability.

Personnel handlingsystemEnsures the safe, efficient transfer of your crew

MacGregor has developed a new personnel handlingsystem for use with its general purpose (GP) andhose-handling (HH) cranes. It has been designed toensure the safe transfer of crew and meets the everstricter regulation demands set by classificationsocieties such as Det Norske Veritas (DNV), theAmerican Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Lloyds
Register (LR).
Benefits
There are special class requirements for personnel
transfer operations and for each vessel; MacGregor
considers the standards set by each society. All of
MacGregor’s GP and HH cranes have one dedicatedbrake for cargo handling and a second safety brakefor personnel lifts. The operational design of thisbrake depends on the classification society.

To handle personnel, cranes need to be updated withnew parts. A MacGregor personnel handling systeminstallation includes a winch with double brakes,
valves, hydraulic hoses and various othercomponents. MacGregor liaises with classificationsocieties to ensure that each element meets approval
before installation and testing.

Winch replacements
New complete solutions with high-speed motors

MacGregor offers a complete solution to replaceobsolete CA420-400-type winches with low-speed,
high-torque motors. This type of winch is no longer inproduction and cannot be delivered as a spare part if it
breaks down. The same applies for MDA42-type discbrakes.
The modern MacGregor winch replacement consistsof a high-speed motor and a planetary gearbox, andis normally available from stock. Some design work is
required prior to installation, depending on the cranecontrol system (cubicle B/CC2000). Hoisting speeds
are occasionally reduced; this is investigated on acase-by-case basis.
Benefits• Upgrade to modern performancestandards• Less expensive, widely available spareparts• Complete delivery• Reduced risk/cost for the shipowner• Proven design

Add-on AHC
Macgregor has developed an add-on Active Heave Compensation (AHC) solution for crane winches
and winches in general. The solution uses the existing hydraulic/electric power that is already available
on the crane, which means that we can deliver add-on AHC for any crane. This gives the possibility for
cranes without AHC to offer their services in a bigger market.
The modification is a simplified solution as it uses existing components and few new components areadded. The modification can be performed with short down time, and on site.

Necessary modifications:

•
•
•
•

Absolute encoder for the winch drum
Motion Reference Unit
Updated software or new PLC with AHC software
Minor hydraulic updates

Oil Level Dip Stick forGear Boxes
Oil level dip stick for an easier and faster oil level check of the luffing and hoisting winches. The standard

procedure is normally to open an oil level blind plug and to use a flash light in order to check the current oil level.
Due to the required preparations the oil level is rarely checked which leads to gearbox damage. The oil level dip
stick allows each crew member quickly and easily to check the oil levels before starting/leaving the crane.

Benefits•

Active risk reduction of gear box damages caused by low oil levels or worn brakeunits.

•

Easy access and possibility to check the oil level anytime, even during cargo

The Principle

In any motion
compensation system,
sufficient power should
be available to move theobject. When more massis introduced into asystem, more power isrequired.
The first generation of
motion compensatedcranes were based on
moving the entire crane
structure in order to keep
the boom
tip still. These systems
required a relatively highpower installed and large
foundations to enable
the compensationequipment to move a
crane structure of
30-50T.
Ulstein started on abright idea - to reducethe compensated mass
to an absolute minimum.
From this idea, theColibri™ motion
compensation concept
was formed.
The development of the
Colibri™ went throughseveral iterations, andin cooperation with
Macgregor resulted in acost efficient,
lightweight, highperformance system.

Best of both worlds
The Colibri™ is in principal an
additional articulation on thefolding jib of a traditional
Knuckle Boom Crane.
However, this extra
articulation can compensate
in the X & Y plane, adding an
additional axis ofcompensation.
The Colibri™ crane functions
both as a normal offshore
crane with AHC, and as a 3D
motion compensated crane,
without the need for any
mobilization or interchanging
of parts. The Colibri™ has it’s
own cylinders that control thearticulation, so switching from
Main Winch operation to
Colibri™ operation can berigged in a couple of minutes.

Colibri™ 3D Operation

Main Winch Operation

Standard Features• Independent Main Winch from 1T to 50T• Anti-sway function with wind load compensation• Side-/Off-lead detection• Colibri™ Anti-collision system• X / Y Compensation• Z Compensation• Camera on Jib-tip and Colibri™

Colibri™ X & Y Operation Envelope
The X & Y operational
envelope is controlled byhydraulic cylinders, fed by
the integrated HPU array inthe crane, resulting in
reduced installed power on
the vessel. The Z-axis
compensation is via a
conventional AHC winch
based on Macgregor’market leading system,
which has proven levels ofcompensation exceeding
99%.

The Colibri™ has an absolute
minimum of moving parts,
ensuring both low CAPEXand OPEX. Furthermore with
Macgregor’ 24/7 remote
access service, downtime
and service costs are
reduced, as trouble shooting
and tuning can be done via
remote connection.
