  1. No a crane cannot lift its self up.A crane is used to pick heavy loads up,by using winchs or hoists.Hydraulic fluid is ran through hose that connect to the winchs.There's a lever to operate each winch,you have a main winch which is used to pick loads up over 10,000 pounds.There's an auxillary winch that picks up load under 9,000 pounds and the boom winch is used to operate the angle of the load and boom.The boom is the extension of an arm like feature.Also depending on the load capacity of the crane.A 20 ton crane and pick up 40,000 pounds and a 10 ton crane can pick up 10,000 pounds.
