Initially, cranes were first made out of wood. It wasn't until the designers constructing dockyards decided they needed something stronger and larger did these equipments develop. Hick & Rothwell designed the very first cast iron cranes within Bolton, England, in the year 1834. This machine was capable of lifting as much as 2 tons. That very same year, the addition of wire rope was added to the crane by an Official of the German Superior Board, Herr Albert Sr. The wire rope made the crane more durable and stronger. This addition enabled cranes to have a larger capacity for lifting heavy weights.



The wire ropes were weaved together forming a more powerful rope with even more strength. The newly formed wire also added more flexibility. 4 years later, Germany began to make cast iron cranes. The first cast iron crane made by Germany was built within Neuburg.
