About Us


Welcome to What Is Mechanical Handling.

We are a team of engineering professionals with extensive experience in mechanical handling systems for offshore and onshore oil and gas upstream projects. Our expertise covers the planning, design, and integration of mechanical handling equipment, as well as the development of facility layouts that enable safe, efficient, and maintainable operations throughout the asset lifecycle.

Mechanical handling is a critical discipline that connects engineering design, operations, maintenance, and safety. Through this platform, we share practical knowledge, engineering insights, industry lessons learned, and best practices gained from real-world projects.

Our areas of focus include:

  • Mechanical Handling Philosophy and Design
  • Cranes, Hoists, Davits, Monorails, and Lifting Equipment
  • Facility Layout and Maintainability
  • Engineering Interfaces and Design Integration
  • Operations and Maintenance Considerations
  • Industry Standards and Recommended Practices
  • Lessons Learned from Major Projects

While our foundation is built on offshore and onshore oil and gas developments, we are continuously expanding our expertise and network of contributors to support the evolving needs of the energy industry.

As part of this journey, we are actively growing our knowledge and capabilities in:

  • Nuclear Energy Facilities
  • Renewable Energy Projects
  • Offshore Wind Farms
  • Industrial Maintenance and Asset Management
  • General Mechanical Handling Applications Across Industries

Our mission is to create a trusted knowledge hub where engineers, designers, operators, students, and project teams can access practical guidance and learn from industry experience.

We believe that effective mechanical handling design improves safety, enhances maintainability, reduces operational risks, and contributes to the long-term success of any facility.
