What materials are used for crane?

If we are talking of an industrial lifting crane, the likely materials are steel for the structural elements, copper steel and plastics for an electric motor to drive it, and bronze or aluminium in some of the thrust bearings. The whole thing might be coated with an oil-based paint, or perhaps a coating based on an epoxy resin.
