Mining cranes are designed to withstand the harsh environments and demanding conditions found in mining operations. Unlike standard cranes, they are built with reinforced components, including stronger booms and heavier-duty motors, to handle the extreme loads and difficult terrain typical of mines. Mining cranes are often equipped with advanced safety features and have the capacity to lift much heavier loads than cranes used in other industries. Their durability and adaptability make them suitable for tough mining applications.

The lifting capacity of a mining crane depends on the specific type and model. Some mining cranes can lift loads ranging from 50 tonnes to over 500 tonnes, depending on the size and configuration. Larger cranes, such as crawler or gantry cranes, are typically used for the heaviest lifting tasks in mining. The crane's load chart provides detailed information about its maximum lifting capacity at various boom lengths and angles, ensuring safe and efficient lifting operations.

Mining cranes, especially large models like crawler cranes, are often disassembled for transport to job sites. They are loaded onto flatbed trucks or trailers and reassembled once they arrive. Smaller mobile cranes may be driven to the site if the distance allows. The transport process requires careful planning, including securing permits, ensuring proper load distribution and adhering to local road regulations. Transport companies experienced in moving heavy equipment handle the logistics to ensure cranes arrive safely at the mining site.
