Tips: What is the difference between a crane and a hoist?

A crane and a hoist are both used for lifting and moving heavy objects, but they differ in their design and functionality.

A crane is a large, complex machine that consists of a rotating arm or boom mounted on a mobile or fixed base. Cranes are typically used in construction sites and industrial settings. They are capable of lifting heavy loads vertically and horizontally using ropes, cables, or chains. Cranes provide versatility and can perform various tasks such as lifting, lowering, and swinging loads over a wide area.

On the other hand, a hoist is a simpler device primarily designed for vertical lifting. It typically consists of a drum or a chain wrapped around a motorized pulley system. Hoists are commonly used in warehouses, factories, and smaller-scale applications. They are compact, portable, and offer precise control over lifting and lowering operations. Hoists are often mounted on a beam or trolley, allowing them to move along a fixed path.

While both cranes and hoists are used for lifting heavy objects, cranes are larger, more complex machines with greater flexibility in movement, whereas hoists are simpler devices designed for vertical lifting in a more limited range.
