About Us

North Pacific Crane Company designs, manufactures, and services marine and offshore cranes. The cranes are marketed under the Alaska Marine Crane ® trade name. NPCC was formed by former sales/engineering/production employees of North American Crane & Equipment with their high level of technical and operational expertise, in order to continue production of premier products and to ensure superior service to all of our customers. NPCC continues to support the 1,725 cranes which were sold by the previous and present managment. Typical applications include:

• Vessel, or dock-mounted cranes for loading and unloading product and materials on or offshore.
• Cranes and davits for rescue-boat and lifeboat applications.
• Barge-mounted cranes for handling hoses in the transfer and storage of petroleum products.
• Workboat and custom applications, such as ship-mounted cranes to launch and recover remote operated vehicles (ROV's), or towing sidescan sonar arrays.
• Cranes used in municipal, solid-waste sorting and compacting at Transfer Stations.

These cranes function in the harsh marine environment. Our company uses specialized parts, fittings and finishes. This, together with good workmanship and documented manufacturing and testing procedures, has established an excellent reputation for our products. A significant percentage of our business is generated from satisfied customers as well as referrals from them.

Our Management, Sales and Engineering personnel have in-depth expertise in the design, manufacture and applications of hydraulic cranes. We are fortunate to have a solid group of Production employees with lengthy experience in the manufacturing and servicing of cranes.

Our reputation for well-desgined cranes, and prompt service brings us our "repeat" business as well as many new contracts for customized cranes.

We also design and build marine cranes that are certified by The American Bureau of Shipping (A.B.S.), Det Norske Veritas, Lloyds, and other regulatory bodies. Our cranes are well designed and engineered and we enjoy a solid reputation for providing a quality product at competitive prices.
