In order to clarify what the crane may need to lift (to give a scale to the design) I have done some research on what 1000kgs looks like:
A VW Beetle (new) weighs approx 970Kgs.
An old Mini weighs 670Kgs.
1000Kgs of is approximately 416.66Litres of concrete. This is a the volume of a large family fridge freezer, a large oil drum or the boot room of a medium sized car (Kia Forte for example).
From this research I think we need to base our crane design around a 1m x 1m x 1m cube; with a weight of 1000kgs.

Decent effort to quantify the bulk of a 1 tonne bit of debris. Certainly it could take the form of a relatively dense cube - though this is going to be the minimum geometry for the mass. In practice you might also expect beam type components with one dimension much larger than the other two.
