Favelle Favco 20/10K

The Favelle Favco 20/10K is a purpose-built offshore pedestal crane designed for heavy-duty lifting operations on offshore oil and gas platforms. With a primary lifting capacity of 20 tonnes and an auxiliary hook rated at 10 tonnes, this crane is tailored for reliable, high-capacity handling in remote marine environments. The crane is powered by a diesel-hydraulic drive system, providing complete autonomy from platform electrical supplies — a vital advantage in offshore operations where power independence enhances reliability and safety.

Favelle Favco’s expertise in high-speed, heavy-lift cranes is evident in the 20/10K’s engineering. The crane features a lightweight yet strong boom structure, designed to reduce overall deck load while maintaining lifting performance. The boom and superstructure are constructed to facilitate ease of installation and minimize transport complexity — key factors for offshore construction and commissioning.

The crane’s pedestal mounting design provides full 360° slewing and a compact footprint, which is critical on congested platform decks. Integrated winches are positioned for minimal space use, while maintaining service accessibility. The main and auxiliary winches are engineered for smooth load handling with marine-grade durability to withstand corrosive sea environments and high wind conditions.

This crane model is well-proven, with recent deployment on BP’s Azeri Central East (ACE) platform in the Caspian Sea, a testament to its reliability in one of the world’s most demanding offshore regions. Built by Favelle Favco, a globally recognized leader in offshore lifting equipment and part of the Kroll Cranes Group, the 20/10K blends heavy-lift capability with efficient form factor, making it a preferred choice for platform supply handling, module lifting, and construction support.

Favelle Favco’s offshore series is known for long-term dependability, ease of maintenance, and compliance with major international standards for offshore lifting equipment. The 20/10K continues this tradition with proven performance and consistent demand across new and existing offshore developments.
