Lifting Cranes
LiftingCranes are
powerful mechanical devices designed to hoist, lower, and move heavy loads
across short to long distances in a controlled manner. They are essential tools
in industries such as construction, manufacturing, shipping, mining, and
logistics. These cranes come in various types — including tower cranes,
mobile cranes, gantry cranes, and overhead cranes — each suited to
different operational environments. Equipped with advanced hydraulic,
electric, or mechanical systems, lifting cranes ensure safe, efficient,and precise handling of heavy materials or equipment. Their structural
strength, lifting capacity, and operational reach make them indispensable for
vertical and horizontal load handling.
Top 10 FAQs of Lifting Cranes
- What is a lifting crane used
for?
It is used to lift, lower, and transport heavy materials, equipment, or construction elements. - What are the main types of
lifting cranes?
Common types include mobile cranes, tower cranes, truck-mounted cranes, overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and crawler cranes. - What is the lifting capacity
of a typical crane?
Capacities vary widely — from 500 kg for small shop cranes to several hundred tons for heavy-duty tower or crawler cranes. - How is a crane operated?
Cranes are operated either manually (from the cab or remotely) or automatically with programmable controls. - What safety systems are
built into cranes?
Most cranes include load moment indicators, anti-two block systems, emergency stop buttons, overload protection, and outrigger stabilizers. - Can lifting cranes be used
indoors?
Yes, overhead and jib cranes are commonly used in indoor facilities like factories and warehouses. - What kind of maintenance do
cranes require?
