The Bendini Crane relies on a centralized hydraulic system driven by an internal combustion engine to perform four core mechanical functions:

• Uses a double-acting hydraulic jack to raise or lower the boom angle
• Continuously extends or retracts its multi-stage rectangular boom sections via an internal hydraulic cylinder and chain-driven system
• Provides 360° continuous horizontal rotation using a hydraulic motor, planetary gearbox, and a heavy-duty slewing ring
• Lifts and lowers the hook block utilizing a high-tensile wire rope controlled by a fixed-displacement hydraulic piston motor with an automatic negative brake
