Cranes are machines used to lift and move heavy loads and come in several types including mobile, gantry, tower, and mechanical. There are two types of lifting - manual and mechanical using cranes or chain blocks. Different types of lifts include light, heavy, critical, and tandem lifts using two or more cranes. Crane operation can result in deaths from issues like power line contact, rigging failures, structure failures, tipping over, and swing radius crushing. Safety protocols include inspection checklists for rigging and removing damaged slings/ropes from service to prevent failures when lifting loads.

2. A "crane" is a machine for lifting and lowering a load and moving it
horizontally, with the hoisting mechanism an integral part of the machine.
Cranes whether fixed or mobile are driven manually or by power.

3.  Mobile Crane
 Gantry Crane
 Tower Crane
 Mechanical Crane

4. There are two type of Lifting.
1. Manual Lifting
2. Mechanical Lifting
(Crane, Chain Block)

5. There are four type of it.
1. Light Lifting
2. Heavy Lifting
3. Critical Lifting
4. Tandem Lifting
(Lifting the Load two crane or more)
