1 000 ton Sheerleg Upgrade
In 2018 HEBO decided to upgrade the vessel HEBO lift 2 into a state of the art sheerleg. The vessel would be outfitted with a complete new A-frame capable of performing complex lifting operations. This upgrade would strengthen the position of the HEBO fleet in the North-West European market. Being capable of lifting 1 000ton objects, combined with the possibility to add more height and outreach with a future jib upgrade, HEBO was confident to have a commercial interesting proposition for their market.
For the design of the lifting appliances and the modification of the vessel, HEBO selected Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam as their partner. With designs like the Matador 3 and Gulliver, Vuyk has an extensive experience in designing sheerlegs and A-frames. This experience was one of the reasons to start this cooperation, as the track record combined with the extensive experience of the people made Vuyk a solid partner for HEBO.
