Diesel engines are also used as the motive power for cranes and transporters.

These engines power the generators and oil pumps. The generators
drive the electric motors and the oil pumps serve the oil-driven
motors or hydraulic cylinders for the different mechanisms.
Straddle carriers, which lift containers and transport them at high
speeds, are grouped with lifting equipment, along with container lifters
which are mounted on trucks and barges. Reach stackers, draglines,
and many others also belong to this family.
