Derrick
デリック is the name Derrick in Japanese.

Construction Crane
起重機 refers to the huge machine that lifts materials high into the air as crews construct huge buildings.
A customer requested this specifically after some confusion over the bird by the same name.
In an odd twist, while they don't know this name in English sounds like a bird; the building crane is jokingly called “The real national bird of China” because of the accelerated level of construction in Beijing and elsewhere ever since preparations began for the 2008 Olympics. As of 2018, construction has barely slowed.
If you want the type of construction crane that drives down the road, please note that the word is totally different for that kind of “vehicle crane.”
