Crane

 

Generally, crane is type of machine can be used to lift, lower, move, and transport heavy materials and loads.

 

Several simple machines are needed to build crane. By creating crane and providing mechanical advantages, moving loads beyond the capacity of human will be possible. Cranes are utilized for lifting service across a wide spectrum of operating conditions. They may be exposed to infrequent duty, as in power plant turbine house service where passive work—maintenance and testing—is the usual use and productive working lifts are occasional, or they may be punished by intense use such as in steel mill service where round-the-clock operations induce millions of loading cycles. 

 

Cranes vary in terms of forms. Every task in order to complete will need a specific crane. Sometimes crane sizes range from the smallest jib cranes, used inside workshops, to the tallest tower cranes, used for constructing high buildings.

 

This webpage attempts to review the History of crane and mobile crane. Then Mobile Crane, different types and attachments of mobile crane will be discussed thoroughly.  After that, some manufacturers of crane will be introduced and in the end, general information regarding crane chart will be presented.
