Supporting Precision: How Royal IHC Relies on HEXA LOCK for Crane Assembly

When it comes to building complex dredging and offshore vessels, few companies operate with the precision and scale of Royal IHC. During the recent installation and maintenance of a large ship-mounted crane, IHC turned to a trusted partner for temporary structural support: Starkon Supports.

To safely relieve the crane’s base structure during key assembly phases, IHC used our HEXA LOCK 200 blocks — a certified, interlocking support system engineered for high-load operations.

With a capacity of 200 metric tons per unit, the HEXA LOCK blocks provided a stable and reusable foundation, enabling IHC technicians to work safely around the clock without risk of deformation or instability.

"The modularity and strength of HEXA LOCK gave us full confidence during every step of the crane assembly," said an IHC project engineer on site.

Why HEXA LOCK?

Certified support: CE, TÜV and DNV approved
Fast deployment: no welding or grouting required
Stackable & interlocking: perfect for uneven terrain
Durable: made from S355-grade steel, designed to last

Whether in a shipyard or at sea, reliable support is the foundation of any great build. We’re proud to see HEXA LOCK contribute to projects that define the future of maritime engineering.
