Different Types of Crawler-Mounted Cranes

In order to be able to power a large range of machines, industrial wheel tractors were modified during the 1920s, by McCormick-Deering and Fordson. Like for instance, half-swing cranes and shovels were manufactured by some companies around the engine and power train of the tractor and the wheels became replaced by crawlers.



Throughout the 1930s, crawler tractors came into widespread use. Soon after, many manufacturers started manufacturing attachments for them, including a variety of lifting machine devices.



Side-mounted booms for instance, were used primarily for pipe-laying at first and the machine got the nickname "pipelayer." These machines are now normally utilized for attending to cleaning up railroad derailments. Because of their size, compact design and mobility, as well as excellent lifting capacity, these machines are ideal for this use. Moreover, swing booms that mounted on top of the engine compartment also became available.



Crawler cranes are like the crawler tractor in that it travels along crawler tracks. These equipments could not move fast due to their intense weights. Typically, the crane may be controlled by 2 or more cable operated drums and is powered by one engine. The crawler cranes come outfitted with a telescopic arm or a lattice boom that can be extended easily utilizing hydraulics. The lattice boom should be manually assembled by adding many sections.



Tower Cranes

Tower cranes are those found in big construction projects. These types of cranes are necessary to be built and broken down on location. They should be transported by truck each time they are relocated. These tower cranes are exceptionally tall. They allow construction crews to transport heavy steel or concrete building components to the tops of tall buildings. Tower cranes use a hydraulic system to be able to push every new crane part up into position and thus, are self-erecting.
