Batoum Block Setting Titan 1886
This Block Setting Titan Crane, is another crane, which does not rotate. This time it is the Crab Unit which is designed in an unusual way. The power is transfered to the Crab via a Squared long bar, which rotates, and runs from the centre to the front of the boom; the Crab then provides power to raise/lower the load; traverse the load from rear to front of the boom, and sideways movement. Blocks are conveyed to the crane via the traditional method of carrying them in, under the centre of the supporting structure.
