Iqembu leCrane Drum liyingxenye esemqoka yendlela yokuphakamisa yemishini yokuphakamisa. Isetshenziselwa ikakhulukazi ukuphefumula kanye nokuqondiswa kwentambo yocingo ukuze uqaphele ukuphakamisa nokungenisa okuhlinzayo kwe-hook. Njengengxenye ebalulekile yohlelo lokuthwala umthwalo, iqembu lesigubhu lihlobene ngqo nokuphepha nokwethenjwa kokusebenza kokuphakamisa. Ngokusho kwefomu lesakhiwo, lingahlukaniswa ngezinhlobo ezimbili: umoya ongqimba olungalisandli kanye no-winding ohlukahlukene. Isetshenziswa kabanzi emishini ehlukene ephakamisayo efana nemigwaqo yebhuloho, ama-gantry cranes, ama-cranes tower, njll.
Iqembu lesigubhu ikakhulukazi lakhiwa ngomzimba wesigubhu, i-space exhuma, ukusekela ukuhambisa, ithuluzi lokuvikela nezinye izinto. Isigubhu sivame ukwenziwa ngensimbi esezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu noma isakhiwo sensimbi esinezinwele, kanti ingaphezulu licutshungulwa ngama-grooves e-Spiral Rope ukuqinisekisa ukuhleleka kwentambo yocingo. Lapho usebenza, i-Drum iqhutshwa ukujikeleza nge-reducer ukuze iphinde iphinde idedele intambo yocingo ngokuya ngezidingo zokwakhiwa. Amaqembu wesigubhu wanamuhla asebenzisa amapharamitha we-computer alungiselelwe kanye nezinqubo zokwelashwa komhlaba ukuze zinciphise ngempumelelo intambo yokugqoka ye-wire futhi unwebe impilo yensiza. Amanye ama-cranes asindayo nawo ahlome ngamadivayisi okuhlela izintambo ukuqinisekisa ukuhlelwa okuhlanzekile ngesikhathi sokulandela amathonya amaningi.
