In the previous chapters, we have discussed the crane systems with a fixed base, which are used at construction sites (e.g., tower cranes ), manufacturing/power plants (e.g., overhead cranes ), ship-building factories (e.g., gantry cranes ), and seaports (e.g., container cranes ), for handling heavy loads.
