        abstract = {In this present work, the designed and fabrication of a single acting hydraulic crane was carried out. The hydraulic crane is made up of the following main components; the hydraulic actuator or actuating cylinder, the master cylinder, the fluid reservoir, pumps, seals, valves and conductor. The basic design elements and parameters considered in the design of the actuating cylinder are; the piston (diameter and cross-sectional area), and the barrel or cylinder (thickness, force and pressure developed). The fabricated machine was tested for performance using different loads. The time required for lifting each loads and retraction time were monitored and recorded. The results obtained reveal that the machine is capable of lifting loads up to 5000N at a time of 58.00sec. Also, it was observed that the performance of the machine was satisfactory and reliable since the correlation values were close to 1 for load plot against lifting time and retraction time. However, to improve more on its performance, it was recommended that motorized hydraulic systems should be incorporated into subsequent designs. },
