There are many types of cranes, including:
- Mobile cranes: These are cranes that are mounted on a wheeled vehicle and can be easily moved from one location to another.
- Tower cranes: These are tall cranes that are used for construction projects. They are typically fixed to a foundation and can reach great heights.
- Jib cranes: These are cranes that have a horizontal arm (jib) that extends from a vertical mast. They are often used in factories, warehouses, and shipyards.
- Overhead cranes: These are cranes that are mounted on rails and used to move heavy loads in factories and warehouses.
- Gantry cranes: These are cranes that are similar to overhead cranes, but they are mounted on a gantry structure that can move along rails.
- Floating cranes: These are cranes that are mounted on barges or ships and used for construction and heavy lifting in ports and waterways.
- Crawler cranes: These are cranes that move on tracks or crawlers and are often used for heavy lifting in construction and infrastructure projects.
- Telescopic cranes: These are cranes that have a boom that can be extended or retracted, making them versatile for a range of lifting tasks.
- Rough terrain cranes: These are mobile cranes that are designed for off-road use, making them suitable for construction projects in rugged terrain.
