What is a crane?

Cranes are one of the most widely used construction machinery. They provide efficiency and modern day solutions to the lifting of heavy materials among many other jobs. A crane is in its truest sense a pulley system that is used to transport heavy raw materials  and loads both vertically and horizontally. A crane is operated by a crane operator and is one of the only construction equipment that has the capability of moving material up and down which is essential in the building of modern day high rise skyscrapers. Over the years the demand for and the subsequent supply for different types of cranes has increased manifold

How to know which crane is suitable for a project?

 There may not be any one relevant answer to this question as each crane type and the project that requires it can be different. It is also quite important to mention here that it may not be necessary that the most expensive crane from a top manufacturer might be the right fit for your project, but the one that meets the exact demands of the work. Lifting capacity of a train is of utmost importance while selecting a crane. We often find ourselves asking this imminent question: how much can a crane lift? But in fact each crane type is suited for a different job and hence their lifting capacity. Most cranes have a lifting capacity of 10 tons to 50 tons. 

 Another factor to keep in consideration is the crane’s height. The overall length of a crane is critical in determining its suitability for the project as its boom will determine how far up the material needs to be handled. Moreover, it is also mandatory to know which type of terrain the crane will be operated on. All cranes need a terrain on which they can support, so for instance if the terrain is rough then rough terrain crane option would be suitable and likewise with others 

How much does a crane cost?

It depends upon various other variables like whether one is going to lease/rent crane equipment or they want to buy new or used cranes. If the project is a one-off then it is recommended to go for leasing option but if the projects are recurring in nature then it may be feasible to buy cranes. However, buying cranes is a capital intensive decision therefore, at Krank’s crane marketplace, buyers and sellers can not only find a wide range of cranes but also can connect with the heavy equipment community to build their network and thus be able to make business decisions that are effective and profitable.
