Hydraulic truck cranes are a particular type of mobile crane. These cranes make use of hydraulics and can lift thousands of pounds. Hydraulics uses forces being transmitted through oil pushing on the boom's pistons in opposite directions so as to lift thousands of pounds. Hydraulic truck cranes are essential in constructing major projects like airports, bridges, roads and buildings. A crane can complete in minutes tasks that will normally take lots of hours and hundreds of men to accomplish.



These impressive machinery have played a vital part in constructing cities, houses, entire nations and individual buildings throughout the ages. Even Egypt's Great Pyramids were probably constructed with the help of basic cranes to allow the heaviest supplies in one of the most remarkable construction projects ever.



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



These cranes were initially made out of wood. The designs of cranes began to change when dockyards began to require stronger and bigger machines. Hick & Rothwell designed the first cast iron cranes in Bolton, England, in the year 1834. This machinery was capable of lifting 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 more durable and stronger. This addition enabled cranes to have a larger capacity to lift heavy weights.



The wire ropes were weaved together forming a more powerful rope with even more strength. The newly formed wire also added more flexibility. Germany started to make cast iron cranes 4 years later. The first cast iron crane built by Germany was built in Neuburg.
