The Crosby Group is a global lifting, rigging, material handling and mooring hardware partner for the renewable energy sector. Its product range covers the entire wind energy supply chain, including plate clamps, pipe hooks and shackles used during monopile fabrication, shackles for topside and subsea lifts, and load cells utilized for inspection of installed equipment.
The Crosby Group provided chain accessories for a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) project. The scope of work included the design, manufacturing and testing of long-term mooring shackles. The Crosby Group's engineering team delivered the chain accessories within a tight time frame, complete with extensive in-house machining and testing.
The Crosby Group recently launched into the wind energy market with the HFL Kenter, a new high fatigue life shackle, under the Crosby|Feubo brand. The shackle showcases design improvements on the Crosby|Feubo NDur Link, an accessory used for temporary and mobile mooring applications such as rigging and anchoring offshore platforms or vessels. The product can connect to a variety of stud link anchor chain or other mooring accessories such as sockets and swivels.
