AMS cranes, A-frames and tender launching systems are designed to simplify and ensure the safety of lifting, launching and handling operations onboard, combining high lifting capacities, compact dimensions and seamless integration with the yacht’s design.
AMS cranes, A-frames and tender launching systems are designed to simplify and ensure the safety of lifting, launching and handling operations onboard, combining high lifting capacities, compact dimensions and seamless integration with the yacht’s design.
AMS develops telescopic and extendable overhead cranes for handling large tenders, jet skis, water toys and mini-submarines directly from the yacht’s garage. Each system is custom-designed to optimise available space, minimising its footprint when not in use while ensuring smooth and precise operation.
The range also includes rotating carbon fibre A-frames and retractable cranes, fully integrated into the yacht’s structure. These solutions can be hydraulically or electrically operated and configured according to specific handling and installation requirements.
AMS also develops the system’s control and automation logic in-house. PLC-based control ensures the correct sequence of automatic operations, while manual mode allows the control logic to be bypassed when necessary. The systems are engineered according to fail-safe principles and can incorporate dedicated emergency handling devices.
Corrosion-resistant materials, smooth and quiet operation, and a high degree of customisation enable the development of launching systems perfectly integrated with each yacht’s architecture and operational requirements.
