Various construction cranes, like tower cranes, are used in large construction projects.
Many other types of cranes are used daily in multiple industries.
Crane buildings and overhead cranes are a necessity at many job sites.
If you work in an industry that needs to consistently lift and move heavy loads, having a crane building increases floor space, safety, and efficiency.
Bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, tower cranes, and various other cranes used in crane buildings are critical to many industries and the economy as a whole.
In the article below, we will learn what a crane building is and the industries that need them.

What's A Crane Building?
Crane buildings are necessary for industries that need to lift and move heavy loads.
Customized crane buildings increase floor space, safety, and efficiency of the entire construction process.
Popular types of cranes, like bridge cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes, tower cranes, and various other cranes used in crane buildings, are critical to many industries and our economy as a whole.
Crane buildings can reduce and even eliminate the need for independent crane columns.
Reducing the need for redundant crane structures saves building owners significant money.
Construction Cranes
Crane buildings have a crane inside the building and are not to be confused with construction cranes.
Construction cranes are used to build skyscrapers and other massive buildings and structures.
These cranes have high weight capacities and can easily move heavy objects into place.
Tower cranes perform hundreds of lifts throughout a construction project.
They move heavy materials like steel and concrete into place.
Each lift involves:
- Lowering the rope and the crane lifting hooks to attach the load.
- Securely attaching the load to the hook using the basic principles of physics.
- The crane operator performs hoists, rotations, and trolley travel.
A crane operator can move a load within an extensive area with these crane maneuvers.
Because of their enormous power, construction cranes can move massive amounts of weight with the simplicity of a joystick.
Industries That Use Crane Buildings
Concrete Manufacturing
Several industries use crane buildings, and we'll start with concrete manufacturing.
There's nothing small or light about the concrete industry.
You'll need gantry cranes in the yard and bridge cranes in your building to assist with handling bagged premix or finished precast.
You'll also need the power of an overhead crane for pouring architectural spans or a concrete foundation.
Power Plants
Power plants are full of working equipment that has to function.
Downtime in a power plant will lead to a blackout.
When a turbine or generator in an active plant needs service, it has to be removed and replaced with care as soon as possible.
This is done only with a precise bridge crane system in your crane building.
Transportation
The seaport is the gateway to international commerce, and these busy sites have massive products coming and going constantly.
With heavy-duty cranes, offloading a ship is much more efficient.
Auto Industry
Auto assembly lines move products from station to station until it's completed.
Bridge cranes are perfect for moving factory equipment.
Smaller gantry cranes are great for an auto repair shop to pull engines and lift car bodies.
