City Cranes
A small 2-axle mobile crane, referred to as a City crane is designed to be used within compact spaces where the regular cranes are unable to venture. City cranes are utilized to work in buildings or to travel through gates. During the 1990s, City cranes were developed as a solution to the increasing urban density within the nation of Japan. A lot of cities in the nation began building and cramming more structures in close proximity and it became necessary to have a crane which can navigate through the tiny areas of Japanese roads.
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, the 2-axle design and independent steering on each axle. Moreover, these machines offered a slanted retractable boom. This type of retractable boom takes up much less space than a horizontal boom of the same size would.
Standard Truck Crane
A mobile crane which has a lattice boom is a regular truck crane boom. This model is lighter than the boom on a hydraulic truck crane. There are many boom parts that are able to be added to allow the crane to reach over and up an obstacle. A standard truck crane requires separate power in order to move up and down, as it could not lower and raise utilizing hydraulic power.
Kangaroo Crane
