Permanent solutions

Marine

Alimak marine elevators are designed for optimal performance and safety in tough maritime conditions. Practical access to equipment is vital on marine vessels where continuous inspections and maintenance operations are required thanks to the corrosive conditions presented by humidity and saltwater.

Manufactured with a durable reinforced design, Alimak marine elevators are built to withstand strong winds, and the roll and pitch of the ocean to transport people and materials to elevated points on a ship efficiently.

Why choose Alimak elevators for harsh marine environments?

Alimak elevators are engineered for demanding marine environments, delivering reliable vertical access in conditions defined by saltwater corrosion, high humidity, strong winds and continuous vessel motion. Robust designs, marine‑grade materials and proven performance in roll and pitch ensure consistent operation at sea. This reliability helps operators maintain safety, uptime and long‑term asset performance across offshore and maritime applications.

How Alimak elevators contribute to enhanced safety in the marine sector

On ships, offshore support vessels and crane ships, Alimak elevators provide efficient transport of personnel, tools and materials to elevated and hard‑to‑reach areas. By replacing ladders and time‑consuming manual handling, they streamline daily operations, inspections and maintenance activities. The result is safer access, faster workflows and improved productivity for crews working at height in complex marine structures.

Why choose Alimak elevators for the marine sector?

Robust and durable design

Alimak industrial elevators are designed to withstand harsh environments, ideal for extreme maritime conditions.

Payloads up to 12,000 kg

Large payload capacity means people and materials – such as heavy tools – can be transported more efficiently to boost productivity.

Shaft-less and machine room-less

Alimak’s industrial elevators can be installed easily and without the need for a shaft or machine room.

Maritime compliant safety features

Alimak industrial elevators are DNV compliant. They are designed with safety features that particular benefit marine environments, such as reinforced landing doors, escape hatches and emergency ladders.

Applications for marine elevators

Typical marine applications that require vertical access include:

Alimak elevators are installed within access towers, which are connected to motion-compensated gangways. This enables reliable transfer of technicians and equipment, even in challenging sea conditions.

Alimak elevators provide vertical access between decks and the upper crane structures. This allows crews to quickly reach operator cabins, machinery rooms, and maintenance points.

Alimak elevators provide a critical vertical access solution that enables the safe, efficient movement of personnel, tools and materials on offshore support vessels.
