Top half of Crane - Design sketches

An initial design of the top half of the crane.

A hydraulic piston is used to adjust the height of the crane. Maybe one is not needed and the height of the crane could be fixed.

The boom is made of two components where the thinner one can slot back into the larger component, this allows portability.

A hand winch is used to control the cable.



Simple design of the top half of the crane.

A support for the beam adds extra stability and strength to the boom.
