What is the 'Duty Cycle' difference between a lift crane and a duty-cycle crawler?
Lift cranes handle occasional picks at rated capacity, while duty-cycle crawlers perform continuous repetitive lifting at reduced capacities.
Lift cranes are designed for intermittent service, typically performing occasional lifts at or near their rated capacity with substantial rest periods between operations. These cranes excel at construction tasks like setting structural steel, placing precast concrete, or handling materials where precise positioning matters more than continuous operation.
Remember: "Lift = Light & Leisurely, Duty = Dense & Daily" (occasional vs continuous operation)
