A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped with a hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can
be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. In the present, crane are powered by fossil fuel
which emits black smoke and is not very good for the environment. It is based on hydro & pneumatic medium. We
wanted to design a futuristic Crane that would be operated when fossil fuels run out. Renewable bio fuels are
important because soon enough we won't have any gas to power cars and homes. Compressed air may be used alone
in a fluid power application, or it may be used in combination with hydraulic components to maximize the advantages
of both forms of fluid power. This project is fully working on Hydro-Pneumatic technology and works very efficiently,
speedily and powerfully because it uses both the interfaces: Hydro power & Pneumatic power. Pressure is provided
with the help of Air-water tank. Thus this technology is known as hydro-pneumatic
