type of craneType of Cranes Cranes can be classified into four kinds namely a overhead traveling crane; b jib crane; c bridge or gantry crane; and d cantilever crane Overhead traveling crane Consists

construction sites and factories are usually of this type. Bridge or gantry crane Consists of one or more girders supported on two or more legs running on fixed rails or other runway. The girders are usually elevated to allow movement of the load over obstacles or obstructions on the ground. This type of crane is used for lifting and moving heavy loads in shipyards, factories, and construction sites. Cantilever crane Consists of a horizontal member, or boom, supported at one end by a vertical mast or frame, with the other end projecting horizontally over the area to be served. The load is suspended from a trolley or other mechanism that moves along the length of the boom. This type of crane is used for lifting and moving loads over a wide area, such as in shipbuilding or large construction projects
