Different Types 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.

The overhead crane is the type of the machine is mounted on rails that are overhead. It runs on these rails as it lifts and moves loads from one point to another. It is made of a beam that crosses between the two rails and it uses a hook line. It mostly found in industries where they have small loads that other forms of lifting cannot be able to perform.

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 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.

Sky cranes are also referred to as aerial lifting machines. These are mainly helicopters that are equipped with a hook or hoist to be able to carry loads from a point to another. They are moistly used in the remote and inaccessible areas where other cranes cannot access.

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 gets its name from its telescopic nature of retracting arm. The cranes length can be adjusted by use of hydraulic controls to the required length. It is used to lift considerably low loads. It is used for short term constructions and rescue missions at high places.
