Description

Short description
"Type of crane used in factories and industry to lift and move heavy loads (in this case up to 3 tons), allowing large objects to be moved horizontally and vertically. It consists of a pair of parallel rails located high on the sides of the building with a movable metal bridge (beam) that covers the space between them. The winch, the crane's lifting device, moves along with the bridge on which it is located; the winch in turn is housed on another rail that allows it to move to position itself between the two main rails.
