|
Yard Crane Self mobile cranes with either cantilever or strut booms designed for lifting moving and stacking goods both inside and outside industrial works and storage sites. There loading capacity is lower than the industrial cane but this rating can be raised for static lifting if outriggers are fitted stabilising their base. Movement and lifting are operations are both carried out from operating cab mounted in the slewing deck. They are more moveable than the Industrial Unit |

|
Carrier Mounted Fully road legal hydraulic telescopic boom and lattice strut boom cranes. Ideal for rapid movement and setup for city and industrial lifting tasks. Formed sites with road quality surfaces are necessary. |
|||||
)
|
All Terrain crane Fully road legal hydraulic telescopic boom cranes with large tires and tough suspension. Ideal for rapid movement between jobs working on road or construction sites with difficult terrain.Suitable for city and industrial lifting tasks. Multi axle steer allows good maneuverability. |
|||||
)
|
Rough Terrain crane Short wheel base four wheel drive cranes for off road conditions and construction sites. Generally fitted with hydraulic telescoping booms. Have some capacity to lift "on rubber" without stabilisers down and to "pick and carry". |
|||||
)
|
Crawler crane Track mounted cranes designed for construction sites. Generally fitted with a lattice boom of high lift capacity. Ideal for repeated lifting and slewing from a medium to long term set-up position. Not suitable for road travel and therefore require transportation to site. |
|||||
)
|
Tower crane Designed for construction sites particularly those for high rise buildings. Ideal for repeated lifting and slewing from a long term set-up position. |
|||||
)
|
Lorry Mounted Tower crane Designed for rapid deployment on construction sites particularly those for high rise buildings. Used when the crane position is required for a limited time in any one position. Modern units can be self contained and self erecting. To see a short video of one of these cranes erecting itself.

|
Pile driver crane Track mounted cranes designed for construction sites. Fitted with vertical mast boom and screw or hammer action pile driving equipment. |
|||||
)
|
Derrick Crane Ground fixed mast or spar supported at the top by stays and pivoted at the base. The back stays provide the anchor removing the need for counterweights.Used for raising and lowering heavy weights and while holding them suspended transporting them through a limited lateral distance. Used on ships docks and stockyards. |
|||||
)
|
Heavy Lift Crane Crawler mounted crane for very heavy lifting on land. They combine the features of derrick and lattice boom mobiles. They use very large extended counter-weights, masts and often roller rings that move the booms fulcrum and the cranes tipping axis further away from the crnter of gravity. These cranes lift several hundreds of tons but are difficult to transport and setup. |

)
|
Floating crane Barge mounted crane designed for heavy lifting in or near a marine environment. Some of these cranes are very big lifting hundreds of tons. |
|||||
)
|
Container crane Specialist design crane for container freight handling on wharves. Usually under belly lifting and can be the height of several containers to allow for stacking. |
|||||
)
|
Gantry crane A traveling cable winch attached to a wide beam stretching between rails supported at high level. The supports can be static with the crane beam traveling along them overhead in a factory building or the support can be in the form of legs that move on ground rails, a type often used in shipyards. |
|||||
)
|
Knuckle boom crane Truck mounted hydraulic cranes designed for rapid deployment to pick and place loads. Used predominately to load and unload the truck. Generally not fitted with wire rope and winch. |
|||||
)
|
Truck loader crane Truck mounted hydraulic cranes designed for rapid deployment to pick and place loads. Used predominately to load and unload the truck. Fitted with a wire rope and winch. |
|||||
)
|
Rail Mounted crane. Self powered or shunting cranes mounted on rail bogies. Almost all early mobile cranes were rail mounted often on temporary track for specific jobs. Usually of ridged fixed length jib and designed to be within the railway size gauge. |
