Palfinger has secured a contract to supply PF 200 fully electric offshore cranes for the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
As part of the contract for Synera Renewables Taiwan (SRE), Palfinger will supply 35 units of PF 200 fully electric offshore cranes, each with a 7-meter outreach. They will be installed on jacket foundations equipped with 14 MW Siemens Energy turbines.
”A modular design, high corrosion resistance and easy maintenance provide turnkey value for SRE by minimizing vessel time, reducing operational risk and accelerating project schedules,” said Alexander Lee , Regional Sales Director APAC at Palfinger.
This marks the company’s eleventh project in Taiwan and the ninth wind farm to be equipped with its service platform cranes.
Deliveries will take place between the second and third quarters of 2026, with installation and commissioning scheduled in Taiwan within the same year. Once delivered, this will bring the installed base in Taiwan to 271 offshore wind cranes.
Iavor M. Markov , Global Key Account & Segment Manager Offshore Wind at Palfinger, said: ”The constantly increasing footprint of our reliable fully electric lifting solutions for offshore wind is a great sign of the trust of our customers in our lifting solutions and their qualities. Our global experience and cooperative approach as a reliable equipment and service partner brings benefits to the local Taiwanese market.”
