To help with business activities and continuity, many types of heavy equipment can be used.

CRANE – Heavy equipment that we often see may be very easy to recognize because of its large physical shape and striking yellow color. But besides that, it turns out that cranes also have various types and functions. Cranes for moving material horizontally are not the same as truck cranes that can rotate 360 degrees. Here are the types of cranes that you need to know:

HOIST CRANES

Hoist crane is placed on the ceiling of the warehouse or building. But even so, the hoist crane does not rule out being used outdoors.

Hoist cranes are usually used by factories, warehouse, or warehouses that have fast movement of goods. There are special rails used for the hoist crane to go back and forth.

TOWER CRANES

Tower cranes are one of the easiest cranes for ordinary people to know. The use of this crane is often used for the construction of high-rise buildings that require access to reach the spaces above the building. Bridges are also commonly built with this tower crane, not only that, but tower cranes are also commonly used to transport casting materials for multi-story buildings.

CRANE TRUCK

This type of crane can be said to be a crane that is quite efficient for outdoor use. No truck is needed to be able to transport the crane to the construction site as this truck on the crane can directly take the crane to the construction site. Tow trucks need a foundation in the form of pillars to maintain balance. In addition to the efficiency of a truck crane that can be used immediately, it turns out that the truck crane can also rotate 360 ​​degrees.

HYDRAULIC CRANES

The use of hydraulic (oil) and pneumatic (air) systems is the hallmark of this crane. Unfortunately, this crane rotation is only able to reach 180 degrees and is not for mobile use. Industries that use hydraulic cranes are dominated by the warehousing and workshop sections which have simple building structures.
