A modularized pedestal mount crane having a base frame with a pair of fore and aft extending flanges with a boom pinned to the forward end of the flanges and an engine is mounted on the rearward portion of the flanges. A winch frame, carrying a plurality of winches, is pinned to the flanges and extends over the engine with vertical links connected between the rearward end of the winch frame and the flanges. A gantry is pinned to the winch frame, and cat walks are cantilever from three sides of the base frame, a cab included on one cat walk.

A bulk material unloader includes parallel, spaced-apart main and back barges or pontoons which are held in fixed relationship with respect to each other by four collar frames. Two parallel cargo lighters are positioned between pontoons and the unloader is moored alongside ship. The two midship collar frames support a two-legged main tower over the main barge and a two-legged back tower over the back barge. A horizontal boom assembly includes a back bridge extending between the towers and an outboard boom supported by the towers and normally extending away from the back bridge and over the ship in parallel, end-to-end alignment with the back bridge. A horizontal bulk material conveyor assembly on the horizontal boom assembly includes two fixed parallel top horizontal endless belt-type conveyors supported on the back bridge and two parallel bottom horizontal endless belt-type conveyors supported on the boom assembly to move back and forth under the top conveyors and situated to receive bulk materials leaving the top conveyors. A chute is mounted at the outboard ends of the bottom conveyors, and bulk material deposited on the bottom conveyors is discharged into the chute for delivery to a hold of the ship. A bucket trolley and a grab bucket run on tracks which extend the entire length of the boom assembly. A hopper is situated on the back barge under the tracks so the bucket can deposit materials from the lighters into the hopper. An elevating conveyor carries materials from the hopper to the top horizontal conveyors. The chute is removable for offloading so the bucket trolley can move out to the outboard end of the outboard boom.

A crane structure mounted on a transport vehicle, preferably a marine vessel, is disclosed. The crane structure includes a gantry structure mounted on a vertical tower structure and having boom portions protruding from the tower structure. Preferably, the boom portions may be pivotally lowered from their operating positions and the tower structure may be rotated in a horizontal plane, thereby reducing the overall dimensions of the crane structure to allow transport under overhead obstructions and through narrow passageways.

The derrick barge comprises a pair of laterally spaced elongated hulls having a plurality of upstanding columns spaced therealong supporting a working platform and a heavy duty derrick or crane in spaced relation above the hulls. The hulls bouyantly support the vessel including its deck load in the floating condition with the hulls having freeboard. The hulls have ballast compartments to submerge the hulls and portions of the stabilizing columns to a distance of approximately one-half the effective height of the stabilizing columns to maintain the vessel in a semisubmerged floating condition with the platform and derrick elevated above the waterline. However, the vessel also may be ballasted or deballasted to submerge or emerge to a greater or lesser extent from the semisubmerged condition such that the distance between the mean water surface and either the underside of the deck or top side of the hull is not less than 0.75 of the mean wave height. The columns stabilize the vessel in the semisubmerged condition about roll and pitch axes. The heavy duty derrick is located adjacent the stern portion of the vessel with its vertical axis of rotation intersecting the vessel centerline. This novel twin hull column stabilized derrick barge arrangement has excellent motion minimizing characteristics under wave action in operations at sea.

A mobile crane for use on an offshore oil well platform, comprising parallel base beams adapted to span the capping beams of the platform, and a pedestal and a rotating upper works movably mounted on the base beams. A method is described for erecting a workover rig on the offshore platform by means of the crane, and for expeditiously erecting workover rigs on a plurality of platforms in succession.

A buoyant barge mounted crane has a vertical tower with a horizontal gantry. On the gantry is a cargo transfer assembly including a trolley and lift mechanism. A balance load is mounted on one end of the gantry, and the opposite end of the gantry is connected by a cable to a floating counterweight barge. As the trolley travels horizontally on the gantry, the counterweight barge maintains equilibrium of the crane through the transfer of weight through the cable.
