Cables in the Cable and Harness tools refers to electrical wiring. I think you want a twisted wire rope cable for your crane, but not sure. While you could use the routed system tools I think it would probably be far easier to simply Sweep a circle for your cable.
Can you zip and attach what you have so far?
