CRANES USED IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
1. TELESCOPIC CRANE
Description
Telescopic cranes are equipped with a boom (arm) outfitted with a hydraulic cylinder that
allows it to change length, like a telescope. Although it’s considered a fixed crane, many
telescopic cranes are mounted on a truck to transport to and from different worksites.
Applications
Due to the unique nature of their boom being able to collapse and compact itself, telescopic
cranes are highly adaptable for a variety of situations, such as short-term construction jobs as
well as some rescue operations during natural disasters or other emergencies.
Specifications
Telescopic crawler cranes are commonly found on sites where tasks such as foundation work,
power transmission, wind power installations and other utility work is being carried out. They
work alongside, or in place of, lattice boom crawler cranes and rough terrain cranes, especially
in the oil and gas and energy industries.

2. TOWER CRANE
Description
Commonly used in the construction of tall buildings, tower cranes offer amazing lifting
capabilities. Due to their size, tower cranes are equipped with an operating cab that controls
the entire crane. Tower cranes have their jib extending horizontally from the mast (tower part),
which itself rests on a concrete base.
A luffing jib is able to move up and down, while the fixed jib has an operating dolly that moves
materials horizontally. The engine (called a slewing unit) that controls the rotation of the crane
sits on the top of the mast.
Due to their size, tower cranes are built along with the building, growing alongside it; once the
building is complete, the process is reversed. With its height, ability to lift heavy materials, and
various features, tower cranes are an essential tool when constructing a tall building.
Applications: A tower crane is considered to be a modern form of a balance crane. When fixed
to the ground, this type of crane will often give the best of height and lifting capabilities. They
are also used when constructing tall buildings.

3. MOBILE CRANE
Description
This is the most basic type of crane and consists of a steel truss or telescopic boom mounted on
some kind of mobile platform. This platform could be wheeled, a rail or even a cat truck. The
boom is hinged at the bottom and can be raised or lowered by cables or hydraulic cylinders.
Applications
There are several different types of mobile cranes, including:
a) Carry Deck Crane
Carry deck cranes are a relatively new type of crane that evolved from the older pick
and carry model that was first introduced in the 1980s. They’re small, four-wheeled, can
rotate a full 360 degrees, and are more portable than other types of cranes. Carry deck
cranes are simple to set up, and their small size easily allows them to navigate around
confined and open spaces, making them a staple on many job sites.
b) Rough Terrain Crane
As the name implies, these cranes are used for pick and carry operations off-road and
on rough terrains. A rough terrain crane is built similarly to a crawler crane, but instead
of tracks, the undercarriage is outfitted with four large rubber tires that are typically
equipped with four-wheel drive. Rough terrain cranes are also fitted with telescopic
booms and outriggers to improve stability and make mobility much more manageable in
tight and rough areas.
Specifications
Maximum Lifting Capacity 60 Ton
Boom Length 11.5 m
Max Travel Speed 90 and 50 km / h

4. STACKER CRANE
Description
Stacker cranes are automated machines with a forklift-like mechanism and are primarily
designed for warehouse storage. Typically, stacker cranes are used in places with special
working conditions, like extremely cold temperatures, making it unnecessary for a human
worker to endure extreme working conditions.
Application
Stacker crane is the solution to manage and optimize product storage and ensure sequencing.
Automatic, they increase productivity, eliminating errors of manual management and
constantly updating the inventories. The stacker cranes make it possible to create warehouses
of great capacity in an optimized volume. Stacker cranes easily adapt to the needs of each
storage, in terms of load capacity, dimensions, and layout and cycle times. They can handle
loads on pallets or skids and cover a wide range of application.
Specifications
Height of the stacker crane From 3000 to 40000 mm
Width of the aisle From 1500 mm to 3000 mm
Lifting speed From 10 to 60 m/min
Travel speed From 40 to 240 m/min
Handling height in low position 500 mm minimum
Surface treatment Painted
Options Storage racks, automation
5. HAMMERHEAD CRANE
Description
Hammerhead tower crane is a kind of hoisting equipment, which is used for building
construction. This type tower crane is very general in our life, we can see it everywhere. The
pull rod on the hammerhead connects the jib boom with balance arm and form a triangle
support, which ensure the overall balance of the horizontal direction of hammerhead tower
crane for sale. The hammerhead connects the tower body and slewing bearing, which keep
the balance of all the tower body. Therefore, when the machine turns, there will not be
excessive distortion of the mast section
Application
Hammerhead cranes are some of the most commonly used in construction projects. This crane
has a horizontal, swiveling lever resting on a fixed tower. The trolley is held in the forward part
of the arm and is counterbalanced with the part of the arm that extends backward.
Hammerhead cranes also offer a feature known as racking, which allows the trolley to move
forward and back horizontally along the crane arm. These cranes can be extremely heavy and
are assembled on the job site.

6. Loader Crane
Description
This is a hydraulically powered crane that has an articulated arm that is fitted to a trailer. A
loader crane is used to load equipment onto a trailer. The crane can be folded into numerous
sections and will fit into small spaces when not in use. The crane can be easily transported
because of its capabilities to be folded.
Application
Loader cranes help to load and unload trucks and other vehicles. Lorry cranes make an
impression thanks to their operator friendliness and high level of cost efficiency. Various
equipment (rope winch, rotator, gripper, crane fork) expands the loading crane's field of
application. The most important industries include: construction, transport logistics, emergency
services, local authorities, waste management, mining and the
inspection/maintenance/cleaning of structures, buildings and large machines as well as leasing
and rental business.
