The term "crane" for the construction equipment is believed to have originated from the resemblance of the machine's long arm to the neck of a bird. The word itself comes from the Latin "grus," meaning crane, which is also linked to the Old English "cran," referring to the bird. This connection highlights the similarities in how both the bird and the machine lift and move heavy objects.
