A HYDRAULIC CRANE IS A TYPE OF HEAVY-DUTY EQUIPMENT USED FOR LIFTING AND HOISTING. UNLIKE SMALLER CRANES, WHICH RELY ON ELECTRIC OR DIESEL-POWERED MOTORS, HYDRAULIC CRANES INCLUDE AN INTERNAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS THE CRANE TO LIFT HEAVIER LOADS. THIS FLUID-FILLED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ENABLES THE CRANE TO TRANSPORT OBJECTS SUCH AS HEAVY SHIPPING CONTAINERS AND TRACTOR TRAILERS, WHICH ARE WELL BEYOND THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF ANY OTHER LIFTING DEVICE.
