A derrick is a mechanical lifting device that is distinct from a crane, as it uses separate power sources for hoisting loads. It comprises a power source driven by an engine or motor, a boom typically made of steel pipes, and a wire rope. The boom can be either fixed or movable.
The operation of a derrick involves the power source winding or unwinding the wire rope to lift or lower loads, coordinated with the movement of the wire rope.
Derricks are commonly used on construction sites, at ports, in warehouses, and for installing construction machinery. They are known for their power-driven lifting capability, long booms, and versatility. When operating a derrick, it is crucial to consider the load's condition, conduct safety checks, ensure skilled operation, and maintain safety in the surrounding area.
