Do you need a crane for an upcoming project and don’t know where to start? Let us help you.
There are numerous factors that must be considered in order to decide what type of crane is most suitable for your job.
Below are different types of cranes and their purpose:
1. Mobile Crane:
These are versatile cranes that can be easily transported to different locations. They are often used for construction projects and can have various configurations such as truck-mounted, rough-terrain, or all-terrain cranes.
2. Tower Crane:
Tower cranes are tall structures commonly used in the construction of tall buildings or large structures. They have a fixed base and provide a high lifting capacity over a significant radius.
3. Crawler Crane:
Crawler cranes are mounted on movable tracks or crawlers, which provide stability and allow them to move across rough terrain. They are often used for heavy lifting in construction and infrastructure projects.
4. Overhead Crane:
Overhead cranes are commonly used in industrial settings such as warehouses or manufacturing facilities. They consist of a bridge that runs along elevated tracks and can lift and move heavy loads within the working area.
5. Floating Crane:
Floating cranes are marine-based cranes used for lifting heavy loads on ports, docks, or offshore locations. They are often mounted on barges or floating platforms.
The specific type and size of crane required for a project should be determined by consulting with a crane company, considering the project's requirements, safety considerations, and any local regulations or restrictions.
