Classification Of Crane Rentals Vancouver Island

By Roger Walker


When it comes to lifting loads when loading and unloading, one needs to have a machine to help. If not, the heavier loads would pose big challenge for it would be a time waste and a life endangering process. However, this was solved by the Greeks in when they build a system that can be used to lift heavy loads with least effort. Employing the physics of the levers, they were able to use develop cranes. Below are the different types of crane rentals Vancouver Island.

An overhead crane is a machine that moves along a horizontal raised rail thus the name overhead. It has mobility along the railings overhead however; it is limited to the length of the rails. It usually is mostly used in industries where small loads that could be heavy for human lifting or touching. It ranges from small capacity to maximum loading needed and what the rails can hold.

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 that is mounted on a carriage with a set of tracks in Nanaimo, BC that provide mobility and also used to stabilize it. The crawler is advised since it can be able to work on soft ground and it can also move when loaded with a lift weight. This is because the conveyors provide a large surface area of contact to the count and enough traction during movement.

A floating machine is a type of lifting machine that floats on water in Nanaimo, BC. It mounted on a barge or pontoon that helps to keep it afloat on water. It is used in the construction of bridges, ship construction, and construction of oil rigs in Deep Ocean and also mining of minerals in waters. It can also be used to salvage sunken ships from the sea bed.

There are cranes fitted in helicopters. They almost work as overhead cranes but they have more degree of movement thus can do a wide variety of lifting. It can be used to access remote and inaccessible areas where other cranes cannot access. It normally is used mostly for rescue purposes and in the army.

A tower crane is a lifting machine that mainly uses the balancing of masses to keep it in the air. It is made up of a vertical column fixed to the ground and anchored on to a building sides. An arm horizontal to the ground is used to balance the masses as it lifts the loads. It is used in the construction of the skyscrapers which are tall. It has both the height and loading capabilities.

A telescopic crane is the lifting machine that has a boom which retracts. It normally is controlled and powered by hydraulics. They can adjust its length by elongating or retracting the boom. It is used in short term constructions or rescue mission that need the long arm length.
