ANACONDA
THE ROBOTIZED CRANE BY PIN-CRAFT
Anaconda was presented at last year's Seatec as Pin-Craft's
latest novelty in the small crane sector. The technological
innovations it carries, such as the possibility to programme its
function order, make it a very interesting and space saving
item. Anaconda, made out of stainless steel with steel grey
finish, was developed by the Tuscany based Company for the very
purpose of dealing with greater loads, a sensible decision when
taking into account the ever increasing sizes of super yachts
and consequently, those of their tenders. The small crane was
purposely built for use inside the stern holds to allow the
tenders to be moved therein as on to the stern platforms. The
Pin-Craft small crane adopts an extendible system managed by
sophisticated electronics. This means that when at rest, with
the crane retracted and folded back into itself, the space taken
up by the whole equipment is truly minimal, whereas when in use,
the extension of its arm allows for an easy movement of a
tender, even over gangways of generous proportions. To complete
the characteristics of this "robotized" crane, we have a
software that programs the optimum course to be taken during
launching and beaching operations; this solution greatly limits
the need for manual intervention by the crew thus remaining in
line with the evolution of on board push button integrated
systems. In addition to technical and functional aspects, Pin-
Craft has also taken aesthetical appeal into high consideration
by giving Anaconda a quality finish and a paintwork to last in time.
