In material handling, the cranes play a vital role in modern manufacturing industries. In our project we aim to fabricate a hydraulic operated crane for handling various kinds of materials. The hydraulic crane consists of truck, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic tank, hydraulic hoses, DCV, beam and hooks. The beam one end is fixed to the truck and another end is attached to the hooks. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to the horizontal arm. The hydraulic tank is pumping to the hose in upward direction. At the same time material is lifted with the help of hook and hydraulic cylinder released to the pressure valve so the material is unloaded. The material from one place goes to the other place with the help of hydraulic floor crane. The crane reduces the worker’s fatigue and increases the overall efficiency of production processes with good safety. The crane is fabricated with complete clear front, small compact frame, good reach, high lift and with low centre of gravity. Thus the crane would serve as a safe and versatile model for material handling operations.
