Common 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.

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.

A truck mounted machine is a hoist mounted on a moving truck. This truck is able to provide mobility to the lifting machine. The hoist is referred to as the boom and the truck is known as the carrier. They are joined together at a place called a turntable which adds the swivel movements to boom. This offers more mobility and they can be used in almost any position and place since they can be driven to the location.

The crawler machine is the type of lifting machine is mounted on a base which has conveyor belts for wheels. This type of the lifting machine has a turntable too that adds additional swiveling. It usually is however preferred on soft ground that the normal wheel crane would sink. It does not sink because it has a broad wheel base. It also helps in small turning and movement improving the accuracy by the machine.

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.

An aerial machine also referred to the sky cranes. These are usually airplanes especially helicopters that can lift heavy weights. They are used to carry or lift loads in areas that are hard to access. They are used to lift loads especially in disaster reliefs where heavy lifting is needed.

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.
