Summary
| Description | A special form of jib crane, designed to meet a particular purpose, is the "Titan" largely used in the construction of piers and breakwaters. It contains all the essential elements of the hammer-headed crane, of which it may be considered to be the parent; in fact, the only essential difference is that the Titan is portable and the hammer-head crane fixed. |
