Cranes are used to lift and move heavy materials, equipment, and machinery from one location to another, making them crucial in building tall structures, assembling large objects, and transporting goods across long distances. The industry includes various types of cranes, such as tower cranes, mobile cranes, overhead cranes, and gantry cranes, each designed for specific purposes.
