Leonardo da Vinci, known for his brilliance in both art and engineering, designed one of the earliest known rotating cranes during the late 15th century. His drawings, found in the Codex Atlanticus, depict a revolutionary concept: a crane mounted on a circular base capable of rotating and lifting heavy materials with greater precision and efficiency than the fixed hoisting systems of his time.
The crane featured a large screw mechanism operated manually, allowing one or two workers to lift substantial weights with minimal effort. Combined with pulleys and counterweights, Leonardo’s design could rotate 360 degrees, making it ideal for large-scale construction, such as lifting stone blocks in cathedrals or fortifications.
Although there’s no record of his crane being built during his lifetime, modern reconstructions based on his sketches prove the design to be mechanically sound and remarkably advanced for the era. These models are now displayed in museums, offering a glimpse into Leonardo’s visionary approach to solving real-world engineering challenges.
His crane design reflects not only mechanical ingenuity but also his deep understanding of physics, motion, and human labor—qualities that continue to inspire engineers and inventors to this day.
