A crane[1]
A crane was a type of truck, generally equipped with a lift, wire ropes or chains, and pulley wheels, that could be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally.
It was mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places. It used one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a man. Cranes were commonly employed in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement of materials and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment.
