About construction crane

• Structure:

  • Typically consists of a vertical mast (a steel frame tower or scaffolding column).

  • A motorized winch is mounted, usually powered by electricity or diesel.

  • A pulley system or gear mechanism moves a platform, cage, or bucket up and down the mast.

• Load Platform:

  • May be a simple metal cage or an open platform, with safety features like guardrails.

• Operation:

  • Operated by construction workers using manual switches or control panels.

  • Loads are placed on the platform and raised or lowered using the winch mechanism.

ðŸ›ï Key Features:

• Lifting Capacity: Ranges from 100 kg to over 500 kg depending on the model.

• Height: Can operate over multiple floors; customizable mast sections allow adjustment of height.

• Mobility: Some models are portable with a base frame on wheels.
