Commenting on the report, an analyst from the Engineering team said: 'The growth of the Global Crane lies behind the increase in technological innovation across the globe. Several manufacturers are developing technologically advanced cranes which have better control systems and are more efficient. For instance, some manufacturers are developing cranes that are equipped with an electrical variable frequency drive (VFD) system. This system has the capability to control the rotational speed of an alternating current motor. Moreover, a VFD crane only requires a low start current and does not require a peak start current, which makes this crane more precise and accurate than any other cranes such as electrohydraulic cranes, making them an attractive option for end-users. Thus, the development of next-generation cranes will lead to the growth of Global Crane market during forecast period.'
