City Cranes
The city crane is a small 2-axle mobile crane that is designed for use in tight areas where other cranes are not able to go. The city crane could work in between buildings and can travel through gates. In the 1990s, City cranes were developed as an answer to the growing city density in Japan. Lots of cities in Japan started cramming and building more structures in close proximity and it became necessary to have a crane that was capable of navigating through the tiny streets in Japan.
City cranes are basically small rough terrain cranes. They are made to be road legal and are characterized by a short chassis, a single cab, independent steering on each axle, and a 2-axle design. Furthermore, these kinds of equipments offered a retractable slanted boom. This kind of retractable boom takes up a lot less space than a horizontal boom of similar size would.
Regular Truck Crane

There are multiple boom sections which are able to be added to enable the crane to reach up and over an obstacle. A standard truck crane needs separate power in order to move up and down, since it is not able to raise and lower utilizing hydraulic power.
