Other Types of Crawler-Mounted Cranes

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



Crawler tractors came into widespread use during the 1930s. Immediately after, numerous manufacturers began manufacturing attachments for them, like various lifting machine devices.



For instance, side-mounted booms were mainly utilized for pipe-laying where it gained its nickname the "pipelayer." These machines are currently often used for attending to cleaning up railroad derailments. Because of their mobility, size and compact design, in addition to outstanding lifting capacity, these kinds of machinery are great for this application. In addition, swing booms which mounted on top of the engine compartment became available also.



Crawler cranes are like the crawler tractor in that it travels along crawler tracks. These machinery can not move fast thanks to their intense weights. Normally, the crane could be controlled by 2 or more cable operated drums and is powered by one engine. The crawler cranes are available with a telescopic arm or a lattice boom that is easy to extend by using hydraulics. The lattice boom has to be assembled by hand by adding many sections.



Tower Cranes

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