Common Types Of Crane Rentals Vancouver Island

By Roger Walker


Many needs in the construction industry such as lifting need different solutions. Such works are very dangerous and they need care and precision in their lifting. The machines used must have the height factor and strong too at the same time. Cranes consist of a hoist, ropes or wires and a winding drums if not hydraulics are put into use. Below are some of types of crane rentals Vancouver Island and their uses.

An overhead crane is a smaller sized lifting machine. It is also known as a bridge crane. It is put over a horizontal beam where it moves along. It has a hoist and hooks and is used to lift smaller loads. It finds its uses in industries, where loads can be lifted and moved from a place to another. It is a material handling systems.

The truck crane is a machine that is mounted on wheeled vehicles. The vehicles can be driven from point to thus the mobility. It is made of a boom that is connected to a truck at a join known as a turntable. This offers the additional swivel movement which makes the truck machine the most mobile lifting machine that be used.

The crawler crane is a machine mounted on a carrier that has conveyor or crawlers. The crawlers are used to provide the short need movements during the lifting exercised thus increases the precision. The crawlers can be used on soft ground where the other cranes would sink and loose stability that is the main cause of toppling over. It also does not sink because it has a broad surface area thanks to the broad and long conveyors.

A floating machine is a modification of the normal crane is mounted on a barge or pontoon so it can be able to float on water. This offers the machine the ability to work on water such as in bridge constructions, oil rigs construction and mining in under waters. It can also be used to rescue sunken boats and ships through lifting them up.

An aerial machine also referred to the sky cranes. These are usually airplanes especially helicopters that can lift heavy weights. They are used to carry or lift loads in areas that are hard to access. They are used to lift loads especially in disaster reliefs where heavy lifting is needed.

A tower cranes is lifting equipment used in the construction of tall buildings and skyscrapers. It works on balancing mechanisms where it is fixed on the ground on a concrete slab. Then a horizontal arm is attached with a driving mechanism geared to control the movement. It provides both the lifting load capacity and height.

A telescopic crane is crane consisted of a boom that is powered by hydraulics. The boom is made up of several arms that retracted inside each other. These arms under hydraulic control might be precisely controlled, either to elongate of shorten to the required length. They are mostly used in short term constructions and rescue missions that have a considerable small lifting load. They might be made mobile by mounting them on trucks too.
