Today Thunder Cranes continues to do what we are passionate about, and the results are evident in the exceptional equipment and people we deploy to some of the toughest challenges in the offshore oil and gas industry.

About Us

OFFSHORE LIFTING SOLUTIONS SINCE 1995

Thunder Cranes was founded in 1995 to serve the growing need for portable and modular offshore rental cranes and expert lifting solutions in the offshore oil and gas industry. Building on a strong commitment to safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, Thunder Cranes has established itself as a trusted partner for complex offshore lifting operations.

Our crane rental division uses proprietary crane technology designed to improve efficiency and safety in offshore operations. Key advantages include rapid installation and a unique self-lifting system that allows our cranes to be rigged up on platforms without relying on an existing platform crane.

Today, Thunder Cranes’ systems and lifting solutions are deployed around the world in support of well intervention, facilities engineering, plug and abandonment, platform decommissioning, and other complex offshore operations.

In addition to our crane rental services, we provide tailored lifting solutions for flare tip replacement, crane changeouts, helideck skidding, and other complex offshore lifting operations.

Together, our experienced personnel, complementary range of services, and modular lifting systems help clients optimise uptime and minimise operating costs without compromising safety in critical and complex lifting operations.
