Even the Great Pyramids within Egypt were probably constructed utilizing basic cranes to allow the heaviest materials in one of the most amazing construction projects ever.



The first representation of a crane was showcased during the reign of King Ramses within Egypt in 3000 B.C. This was a portrayal of a lifting mechanism that was utilized to collect water. The first official "cranes" appeared in Ancient Greece. These devices were utilized to create an entire country during the 5th century B.C.



Initially, cranes were first made out of wood. It wasn't until the designers constructing dockyards decided they needed something stronger and bigger did these machines develop. Hick & Rothwell designed the very first cast iron cranes in 1834, within Bolton, England. This machinery can lift up to 2 tons. That same year, the addition of wire rope was added to the crane by Herr Albert Sr. who was an Official of the German Superior Board. The wire rope made the crane more durable and stronger. This addition enabled cranes to have a larger capacity to lift heavy weights.



The wire ropes were weaved together forming a more powerful rope with even more strength. The newly formed wire also added more flexibility. 4 years later, Germany started to build cast iron cranes. The very first cast iron crane made by Germany was made in Neuburg.
