Vastly different machines, but really both are use designed for specific types of needs. Most cranes need more flexibility in their use in areas of reach and lift, with the driven platform adequate to support the lifts with maximum mobility they can design.

Marine lifts are much less flexible and designed for a very specific task, but also incredible machines. They can quickly do tasks that would require a lot of rigging on a conventional crane, and place the lifted vessels in very close proximity to each other once on the ground.
