Cranes and Hoists

Lists sites for businesses that primarily manufacture cranes or hoists, or provide associated parts and service. Cranes and hoists are equipment used for lifting or lowering a freely suspended load.

Typical equipment includes jib cranes, gantry cranes, hoists, lifting beams, and overhead cranes. This category does not list Elevators installed in buildings. Many fully automated lifting devices, such as vertical reciprocating lifts, are listed within Conveyors.
