A crane is a large, long-legged, and long-necked bird that belongs to the Gruidae family. They are known for their gracefulness, with their long necks and slender bodies. They are found all over the world, except in Antarctica and some oceanic islands. Cranes are generally monogamous birds, with some species mating for life. They are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve dancing, calling, and bowing. Cranes are omnivores, feeding on plants, insects, and small animals.

crane definition and meaning

What is a "crane"?

A crane is a large machine used for lifting and moving heavy loads, typically in construction, shipping, or industrial settings. It consists of a tall, movable arm or boom with a hook or other lifting device at the end, which can be raised, lowered, or extended to pick up and transport materials. Cranes are powered by electricity, diesel, or pressurized fluid and can be stationary or mobile, mounted on trucks, or positioned on construction sites. They are essential for handling heavy equipment, large building materials, or shipping containers, making tasks that would be difficult or impossible by hand much easier and safer.
