Cranes were invented in the time of the Greeks, by 500 B.C.E. Of course, mechanical leverage had been used long before. But this was when crane, as a formal device, came to be born.

At first, the crane was a stationary block and tackle. By the time of the Renaissance, cranes had transformed the world of man. Churches and cathedrals, monuments, and castles would be impossible without the crane.

Today, it's much the same. Cranes give life to our cities and countries.
