Royal Caribbean has employed the use of a Palfinger marine crane to do the gardening on board Allure of the Seas
The 5,400 passenger mega ship uses a Palfinger PK 150002 marine crane for transporting and planting trees in its Central Park area.
Central Park on board Allure is one of the many themed areas on board and features a botanical garden where more than 12,000 beautiful tropical plants flourish. There are also over 50 trees and countless palms and bamboo bushes.
The crane was installed to help look after the trees and plants. It also assists with the exact positioning of palms in the pool landscapes.
Sister Ship Oasis of the Seas was equipped with an identical crane in 2009. The PK 150002 has an outreach of 27m and a cable winch with a length of over 120m. To ensure that the daily gardening work proceeds smoothly the crew responsible for the Central Park received extensive training in crane operation in November 2010.
