Solutions
Hydraulic Work Over
When platform cranes lack the reach or capacity for well intervention operations, temporary rental cranes provide a cost-effective lifting solution.
Hydraulic Workover (HWO) units offer an economical solution for routine well maintenance across land, inland water, and offshore installations. In Dubai, a client required an offshore rental crane to assist with lifting HWO components and slinging the unit onto the well. Once rigged up, the rental crane continually supported loading and offloading tasks from supply vessels and tool storage areas on the boat.

Timeline & Outcome
Thunder Cranes provided full management, maintenance, and 24-hour crew operations over a total duration of 6 years. Utilizing rental cranes offered a significantly more cost-effective alternative to expensive barge cranes. Beyond HWO support, the crane’s adaptability enabled involvement in coil tubing work and platform crane changeouts. Satisfied with the significant cost savings and service quality, the client extended the initial contract 3 times—ultimately spanning 6 years of continuous service.
