6 Difference Between Crane And Hoist

1. A hoist is a device used for lifting and lowering loads while a crane is a device used for moving loads in different directions.
2. Cranes can move loads in horizontal direction too, in addition to moving them vertically.
3. A hoist is a simple device while a crane is a more complex device.
4. Hoists can only move loads in a vertical line. Horizontal movement of loads is not possible with hoists.
5. A crane incorporates the uses of other simple machines including the hoist to develop a more effective mechanical device that will make the moving of loads and objects easier and faster.
6. A crane can be used for demolishing by attaching a wrecking ball to it.
A hoist is used to just lower and raise loads vertically. It has no other use.
