No, they are complex- the old steam cranes were multi-engined set-ups in effect every lever in the cab ( or most) was either a throttle or a shift ( Johnson Bar) and worked Both Ways! compare with three-control layout of a PATH car ( Throttle, Brake, reverser key) there are also boom hoists, drums, clutches, counterweights, heavy duty stuff.
A crane is a compound machine that combines multiple simple machines, such as pulleys and levers, to lift and move heavy objects. It typically relies on the principles of mechanical advantage to make it easier to lift loads.
A simple machine.
The force applied to a simple machine is called effort/input force.
both but i rather call it claw machine people call it more that
A knife is classified as a simple machine because it has only one function or movement, which is to cut or slice through objects. It utilizes a straight blade for this purpose, making it an example of a simple machine known as a wedge.

A crane utilizes a combination of simple machines, but the primary one involved in lifting a load is the pulley. The pulley system allows the crane to lift heavy loads with relatively less effort by applying force over a distance.
a small crane made of pulleies and rope
If it goes up just some, it could be considered a ramp, or inclined plane. Otherwise it is not any sort of simple machine. Good question though:)
A crane is a hoisting machine.
Yes, certainly. Look at the multiplicity of drive mechanisms, gears, drums, steering clutches, even specialized axles and differentials in some cases. Four arms might be ideal to conn a big Hammerhead!
well it is a Crane :)
claw machine, or crane machine
An airplane is not a simple machine. A lever is a simple machine. A wheel is a simple machine. Any machine that can be described by a mathematical formula is a simple machine.
In 1846, Sir William Armstrong introduced the hydraulic crane.
Because it look a bit like the bird, which is tall and slender.
A pulley isn't a kind of simple machine, it is a simple machine
