What Are Cranes?
Crane is a machine used to lift and move heavy loads, machines, materials, and goods for various purposes. They are used in all different industrial sectors, from construction to manufacturing to shipbuilding and material loading. Cranes are commonly found along the horizon because they are needed to build the skyscrapers we often see in our cities today.
Basically, all cranes work the same way: they use a combination of simple machines that provide a mechanical advantage to lift and move heavy loads.

Safe Crane Operation
The safety of crane operation is unique to other equipment in that the machine itself does not move. With tractors, dozers and backhoes, the machine moves, drives around people and carries equipment with the driver responsible for checking all blind spots and using the right signals. With a crane, the operator is in a fixed position and the material itself is in motion. Safe operation of and around the crane is as much dependent on the operator as it is on those on the ground. While operators need to use best practices for lifting and moving material, contractors must maintain a safe distance from loads, heed warnings about moving material, and communicate properties with operators. This is especially true for tower cranes where the operator can be at such a high altitude that there is no way for him to see what is happening on the ground.
