About Us

OFFSHORE LIFTING SOLUTIONS SINCE 1994

Thunder Cranes was founded in 1994 to service the growing need for offshore rental cranes and expert lifting solutions in the offshore oilfields of Asia. Building on a strong commitment to safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, Thunder Cranes has earned a global reputation as a trusted partner in the oil and gas industry.

Our crane rental division employs a proprietary crane technology that has enabled Thunder Cranes to stay on the leading edge of efficiency and safety in the offshore rental crane business. The key advantages are: fast installation times that continue to exceed our clients’ expectations, and a unique self-lifting system allowing our cranes to be rigged up on platforms without assistance.

Today, the Thunder Cranes system is deployed around the world in support of well intervention services, facilities engineering, plug and abandonment or platform decommissioning.

In addition to our crane rental services, we provide tailored lifting solutions in support of flare changeouts, crane changeouts, helideck skidding and other complex offshore lifting.

Together with the performance of our highly experienced personnel, our complimentary scope of services and unique modular lifting systems allow clients to optimise uptime and minimise operating costs without compromising safety in critical and complex lifting scenarios.
