Function of Cargo crane
As mentioned earlier, in general, cargo cranes function is to lower, lift, and move heavy materials. For more details, here are the functions of cargo cranes in activities in various sectors.

• Lifting Highly Loaded Materials
  Basically, the function of cargo cranes is similar to other types of heavy crane equipment, which is to lift high-loaded materials. Materials with large loads cannot be lifted directly by humans. That’s why cargo cranes are needed, with a maximum weight limit of the load lifted, which is 15 tons.
• Moving Heavy Materials from One Point to Another
  A cargo crane is equipped with a truck as a carrier. Unlike tower cranes that must be installed before they can operate and can only be used in one place, cargo cranes can move heavy materials from one point to another with a longer moving distance compared to tower cranes.
• Transporting Cargo with Long Distance
  What makes cargo cranes the most widely used heavy equipment in loading and unloading activities is their function of not only lifting heavy goods, but also moving them long distances.
  Equipped with a truck, cargo cranes allow you to take heavy materials anywhere by simply placing them on the cargo deck. This is why cargo cranes can be a very helpful construction machine for lifting building materials. The travel distance is not limited. So, you don’t need to use other heavy equipment if you want to move heavy materials over a relatively long distance.

Examples of Cargo crane Usage in Each Sector
Based on their use in each sector, crane types are also divided into several parts. An example is hoist crane. Hoist crane is a type of crane that is commonly found in workshops or warehouses, because this crane must be mounted on the ceiling. This type of crane functions is to raise goods from the bottom to the top or vice versa. Its limited movement makes hoist crane can only be used in sectors that move indoors.
