The crane is one of the most important machines used in construction and industrial operations. It is a lifting machine that is capable of moving heavy loads vertically and horizontally. It consists of a boom, mast, jib, and hook that are attached to a rotating base. The crane is controlled by a trained operator who uses a remote control or operates it from the cab.
