Cranes are usually used for construction and heavy equipment manufacturing. There are many types of cranes. In order to meet the needs of hoisting in any part of the world, we will divide the crane into many types  from a wide variety of brands, sizes, weights, and lifting capabilities. Many kinds of cranes make it difficult for customers to choose the cranes they need.

 Overhead Crane

 This crane works very similar to the Longmen crane and is also known as the crane. When it works, only the hoist / trolley assembly moves along one or two fixed beams in one direction, rather than the entire crane movement. Install them on side walls or elevated columns of factory assembly areas. Some of these cranes can even lift very heavy loads.
 Gantry Crane
 These are the most suitable locations for installing cranes on fixed or single track or double beams. The Longmen system supports the entire crane frame, and the beams and wheels usually run on the Longmen track perpendicular to the moving direction of the car. There are different types of cranes. In shipyards or industrial installations, heavy loads are usually needed. Some cranes can be used very frequently. The container crane is a special version of the crane, also known as the "Paulter" crane, which is designed to load and unload shipping containers at the port.
 Jib Crane
 A cantilever crane is a movable crane supported by one of the horizontal members (cantilevers), usually mounted on a wall or on a floor support. The most used in industrial and military vehicles. It uses a circular arc swing arm to fix the machine or provide additional lateral movement. These cranes are also called cranes. They are usually installed on the top floor of warehouse buildings in order to upgrade their goods to all floors.
 Mobile Crane 
 One of the most powerful equipment in the construction industry is the mobile crane. In the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, buildings, pipes and towers, mobile cranes have played a great role. The maximum height can reach 400 feet, and weightlifting can reach hundreds of thousands of pounds.
 Tower Crane
 As a modern form of balancing cranes, we need to talk about tower cranes. In order to get the best combination of height and lifting capacity, tower cranes need to be fixed on the ground, and tower cranes will also be used for  high-rise buildings.
 Under normal circumstances, a wider range of telescopic cranes can assemble tower cranes, similar to the following self frame cranes. When a very tall skyscraper is built, smaller cranes or derricks will be carried directly to the roof to work. After the tower crane was demolished, most of the tower cranes in the world claimed to be used in Dubai. The exact percentage is still an open question.
 Telescopic Crane
 A hanger consisting of multiple pipes is provided by this type of crane.  It extends or retracts the power of the pipe through the structure of the hydraulic press to increase or reduce the length of the hanger. They are very suitable for many mobile stickings because of the relative compactness of telescopic arms. It should be noted that many of the telescopic cranes are automatic mobile cranes. It is usually loaded by a truck.
 Rough Terrain Crane
 Single engine machines are usually designed for off-road applications. They are mounted on landing gear with four rubber tires. If you need to upgrade things, just extend the outrigger to a horizontal length and stabilize the crane. Because it provides power for cranes, the same engine is used to provide power for landing gear. The engine of this crane is usually installed on the landing gear, and the upper part is not installed.

Crawler cranes, floating crane and railway crane are all kind of crane. As long as you need it, our company can provide various types of cranes, such as bridge cranes, Longmen cranes, and cantilever cranes. At the same time, 5T-500  tons of outdoor Longmen cranes, cantilever cranes and container cranes are designed for complex crane projects. The 0.5T - 500T indoor hoisting system in all kinds of industries can be equipped in our company.

 In the production stage of the crane, the manufacturer must strictly control the quality according to the crane drawings. Painting paint can become  adhesive, that is because shot peening and blast hardening steel have been pretreated. What impressed the customers is that even after a few months, the paint can keep perfect on the crane. In addition, the workers carefully polish the machine in order to make the crane's quality and appearance more attractive. It is not until the burr and other quality defects occur between the weld and the weld that success is achieved.

Type selection of crane: Types & Model
 Longmen cranes, tower cranes, bridge cranes, gantry cranes, container cranes, crawler cranes, cable cranes, cantilever cranes, and building elevators all belong to one of the types of crane types. So how does the crane buy it? It can be analyzed through the choice of crane type, the choice of crane type and  the number of cranes.

 The following points should be taken into consideration in the selection of cranes.
 Height, structural span, lifting capacity and component weight;
 Conditions for the construction site;
 The status of hoisting equipment in enterprises and regions;
 Time needs a continuous length;
 The cost of construction.

The principle of choosing a crane has the following points
 Lifting capacity, lifting height and span must meet the requirements of structural lifting, which are the three operational parameters of selecting cranes. The horizontal arm swing device is the most important device used by the crane at present. We can easily determine the required crane model, as long as it is based on the above three operating parameters and the lifting performance of various cranes.
