What is a scrap crane?

A scrap crane is a specialised type of crane that is specifically designed for handling and transporting scrap metal. It is typically used in scrap metal yards and other industrial settings where large quantities of scrap metal need to be moved and sorted. Scrap cranes are equipped with powerful magnets or grapples that allow them to lift and move heavy loads of scrap metal quickly and efficiently. The magnets or grapples are attached to a crane arm that can extend and retract, allowing the crane to reach into tight spaces and lift scrap from various locations. Scrap cranes also have a rotating base, which allows them to move easily and access different areas of a scrapyard. These cranes play a crucial role in the recycling industry, helping to manage and process scrap metal efficiently.
