What is a Tower Crane

An Overview of Tower Crane

The tower crane is an essential piece of construction equipment used extensively on building sites to hoist and transport heavy, oversized loads. Tower cranes are fixed to the ground on a concrete slab or side of a building under construction.

The major components are as follows:

  • Tower mast – vertical tower structure
  • Operating cabin – the place for crane operator
  • Jib arm – horizontal structure for lifting
  • Trolley – the mechanism to move along the jib
  • Hoist/Winch – wire ropes and sheaves
An Overview of Tower Crane

There are several types of tower cranes used based on design and function:

Type Key Feature
Hammerhead crane Fixed to ground, 360-degree rotation
Luffing jib crane Adjustable jib arm angle
Flat-top tower crane Features a flat roof structure for optimal suitability, fixed installation

Tower cranes need to be properly installed and require structural support from concrete foundations and bracings. Key metrics like lifting capacity, lifting height, slewing angle, and trolleying distance determine the application. With the ability to lift hundreds of tons and work on the tallest skyscrapers, tower cranes drive productivity on complex sites.
