Tower cranes

A tower crane is type of construction equipment, whose main task is to move cargo in horizontal and vertical planes in the course of construction operations.

Depending on the particular model, tower cranes can be either stationary (established at the construction site), or jack-up (mounted directly onto the framing of the building), as well as movable ones (in particular - crawler-mounted, rail-mounted or wheel-mounted). At the same time, regardless of the presence and of the type of chassis, most modern tower cranes are quickly installed and dismantled, and their structural components are adapted for transportation on cargo platforms. Due to these features, this equipment is highly mobile, and can be, if necessary, transferred to another object in a short time period with the use of serial cargo or special tractor units, railway or water transport. With this regard, one should also separately mention cranes which are mounted on the truck chassis – mobile cranes.

Tower cranes are indispensable in the construction of municipal, industrial and other buildings, where they are widely used for lifting and horizontal movement of construction materials and prefabricated monolithic elements of the buildings. In addition to direct construction tasks, special varieties of such tower cranes are extremely widely applied for a variety of storage, handling and shipbuilding operations.
