Fabrication of a Crane

I work as a "Project Management" officer & I would like more about fabrication of cranes, WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) and so on.

Please include the statics involved in the cranes design.

Holding area

This is a characteristic of a crane. what does exactly mean?

Broken formatting

In viewing the section on Tower Cranes, which is a 4th level subsection, the sections below it (Components, Assembly, etc), which are 5th level subsections, are not properly formatted. It appears Wikipedia uses the same heading format for all headings at and below the 4th level (noting that this may depend on the platform you view it on - this is Firefox on Windows). The lack of distinction of the 5th level headings makes the article confusing to read.

Ideally someone will figure out a way to reformat the entire article, such that it can all be structured with no more than 4 levels of subsections (actually, what would be ideal would be for Wikipedia to correctly format all levels of subsections, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:C7C0:4CA8:7E8A:E16C:DD82 (talk) 14:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:589:300:C7C0:4CA8:7E8A:E16C:DD82 I already added a tag concerning this, hopefully future editors might want to edit it. AsianStuff03 (talk) 13:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues and classification

This article needs some attention or possible reassessment. It is listed as B-class but does not pass the criteria #1 and #2. To begin with the article is adorned with a 2011 "needs additional citations" tag. There is also:

August 2016 "Citation needed" tag,
December 2021 "Which" tag,

The "Stability" subsection ("Mechanical principles" section" has one sentence and three unsourced paragraphs.

Two paragraphs in the "Dynamic Lift Factor" subsection is unsourced.

Far too much unsourced material in the "Types" section, specifically the large unsourced third paragraph in the "Truck-mounted" subsection.

Large unsourced "Pick and carry" subsection and unsourced paragraph in the "Carry deck" subsection and below.

There is just far too much unsupported content in sentences, paragraphs, sections, and subsections throughout the article, that is seperate from those tagged. -- Otr500 (talk) 09:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
