This study aimed to design a revolving crane, to be deployed in the cutting industry and folds into a manufacturer of road equipment. The implementation of the project aims to increase productivity, significantly reducing the existing idle capacity in this sector, due to waiting for the use of the crane, when there is the need for handling heavy parts. For the development of crane design, all significant requests, scaling all the structural part and the elements necessary for the construction machines were used. After sizing of all design elements, it was used Ansys® software, which also allowed a comparison of the results obtained. Recitations of the whole rotating crane components were performed in Solid Edge® design software and the material chosen for crane structure was steel ASTM A36 for its machinability, weldability and mechanical strength, and for being one of the most widely used steel for structures metal.
