Hydraulic truck cranes are a specialized type of mobile crane. These cranes use hydraulics and can lift thousands of pounds. Hydraulics uses forces being transmitted through oil pushing in opposite directions on the boom's pistons in order to lift thousands of pounds. Hydraulic truck cranes are vital in building major projects like for example bridges, airports, buildings and roadways. A crane can complete in minutes jobs which would normally take a lot of hours and hundreds of men to complete.



The great machinery are normally utilized in the construction of cities, homes, whole nations and individual buildings throughout the ages. Even the Great Pyramids within Egypt were probably built utilizing basic cranes to allow the heaviest materials in one of the most remarkable construction projects ever.



The first cranes were established during 3000 B.C. Egypt in King Ramses' reign. This lifting mechanism was initially used to collect water. The first official "cranes" appeared during Ancient Greece. These devices were utilized to create an entire country in the 5th century B.C.



Originally, cranes were first made out of wood. It wasn't until the designers constructing dockyards decided they needed something stronger and larger did these machines evolve. Hick & Rothwell designed the very first cast iron cranes during the year 1834, within Bolton, England. This machine could lift as much as 2 tons. That very 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 stronger and more durable. This addition allowed cranes to have a bigger capacity to lift heavy weights.



Eventually, the wire ropes were weaved together to be able to form an even more powerful strength. This wire formation also brought the added benefit of flexibility. Germany started to build cast iron cranes 4 years later. The very first cast iron crane built by Germany was built in Neuburg.
