Material Lifting Cranes

A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It is mainly used for lifting heavy objects and transporting them to other places.Cranes provide a versatile solution to material handling problems faced by many industries. Not only do they facilitate lifting of large, heavy products, they also utilise overhead space in the work environment, removing common space constraints seen on the factory floor.There are two main categories of cranes: static cranes and mobile cranes. A static crane is a permanent/semi-permanent structure fixed to the ground or building that lifts and moves loads along a fixed path. A mobile crane is mounted on treads or wheels and can be moved from job site to job site.
