Cranes are commonly used in the construction or civil engineering industry, They all have one main consistency a tower that enables the crane to lift material or objects to heights that a forklift, telehandler or cherry picker couldn’t manage. They can be mobile and usually temporary machines that can be operated by man. They can be built on a vehicle or stand from the ground as a static crane.
