City Cranes
The city crane is a small 2-axle mobile crane that is designed to be used in tight areas where other cranes could not go. The city crane can work in between buildings and could travel through gates. In the 1990s, City cranes were developed as a solution to the increasing urban density within Japan. Numerous cities in Japan began building and cramming more structures near each other and it became necessary to have a crane which could navigate through the small areas of Japanese streets.
Basically, the city crane is a small rough terrain crane. This crane is designed to be road legal and is characterized by a single cab, a short chassis, independent axle steering, and the 2-axle design. Furthermore, these equipments offered a retractable slanted boom. This type of retractable boom takes up a lot less space than a horizontal boom of comparable size would.
Regular Truck Crane
A mobile crane which has a lattice boom is a standard truck crane boom. This unit is lighter compared to the hydraulic truck crane boom. There are multiple boom parts that could be added to allow the crane to reach up and over an obstacle. A regular truck crane needs separate power to be able to move down and up, since it could not raise and lower utilizing hydraulic power.
Kangaroo Crane
A jumping crane is another name for a kangaroo crane. This unit is an articulated-jib slewing crane with an integrated bunker. These cranes started in Australia. They are usually used in high-rise construction projects. Kangaroo cranes are unique in the industry in the way that they could raise themselves while the building they are working on increases in height. These specific cranes are anchored utilizing a long leg. This leg runs down the building's elevator shaft.
