City Cranes
A small 2-axle mobile crane, known as a City crane is designed to be utilized within tight areas where the standard cranes are unable to venture. City cranes are utilized to work inside buildings or to travel through gates. During the 1990s, City cranes were developed as an answer to the growing urban density in the nation of Japan. Many cities in the nation began building and cramming more structures in close proximity and it became necessary to have a crane which was capable of navigating through the tiny areas of Japanese roads.
