Colibri crane and tool

Colibri TM crane and tool

The ColibriTM crane combines the proven MacGregor competencies in crane design and innovative motion compensation solutions.

The ColibriTM crane and 3-axis Colibri tool provide the best of both worlds and are an industry proven combination. An additional lightweight articulation on the folding jib of its traditional knuckle boom crane, the ColibriTM tool compensates in the XY plane, while its winch compensates in the vertical axis, providing full compensation for agile work, even in difficult conditions.

The best of both worlds - industry proven

The ColibriTM crane and 3-axis Colibri tool provide the best of both worlds and are an industry proven combination. An additional lightweight articulation on the folding jib of its traditional knuckle boom crane, the ColibriTM tool compensates in the XY plane, while its winch compensates in the vertical axis, providing full compensation for agile work, even in difficult conditions.

The ColibriTM crane functions both as a normal offshore crane with AHC, and as a 3D motion compensated crane, without the need to compensate the entire crane structure. All compensation is done on the ColibriTM  tool itself, minimising the energy required to move its small mass, thus improving performance. Mission changes do not require mobilization or interchanging of parts. The ColibriTM tool can be set in its parked position or redeployed using its own cylinders, so switching modes from main winch operation to ColibriTM operation is a simple process.

Available sizes

MacGregor ColibriTM cranes are based on a range of robust cylinder luffing cranes. The crane main winch is available from 1T to 50T. The ColibriTM is available as standard in 3T and 5T and can be delivered with a 3rd party certificate from most IACS member societies. Other sizes are available on request.
