Description

Industrial cranes were first invented by the Ancient Greeks in 500 BC, and have since become ever more sophisticated and powerful. This vintage style model is handmade from iron and handpainted yellow by master craftsmen. Its true-to-life features include a heavy metal boom, chain and hook, turnable wheels, headlights, running boards, spare tire, a muddy looking front guard, and more. Display in your home or office for a heavy-lifting statement piece.

Before 1870, cranes were fixed to a position, except for some mounted on flatcars, which provided some restricted movement. Appleby Brothers demonstrated steam-powered cranes in Paris in 1867 and Vienna in 1873. In 1922, Henry Coles, manager of Appleby Corp., began producing truck-mounted cranes under the name Petrol Electric Lorry Crane.
