Tower Crane

Topless Tower Crane

As a leading global tower crane manufacturer for over 20 years, IHURMO provides high-quality topless tower cranes ideal for constructing tall buildings and working in congested spaces. Our topless cranes feature excellent lifting capacities and jib lengths to accommodate projects of all scales, with adherence to ISO 9001 standards and CE/EAC certified for safety.

With no tower cab at the top, IHURMO's topless tower cranes offer the advantages of increased lifting height and capacity compared to a hammerhead crane of the same size. This allows you to lift heavier loads higher on high-rise job sites with restricted space. Jib lengths range from 45 to 100 meters, with maximum load capacities from 3 to 100+ tons.

Key benefits of IHURMO topless tower cranes:

  • Heightened lifting height and capacity from no top cab
  • Fast, low-cost installation without assist cranes
  • Durable all-welded steel frame with quality components
  • Precision load control and safety features
  • Integrated climbing system to increase crane height
  • Customization of jib lengths, capacities and more

With responsive customer service and a global network, IHURMO delivers customized topless tower crane solutions on time and on budget. Our specialized engineers work closely with you to recommend the optimal crane for your high-rise or space-restricted project.

Rent, lease or purchase your topless tower crane from the industry leaders. Contact IHURMO today to discuss lifting solutions capable of constructing tall commercial buildings, stadiums, bridges and more. We are committed to maximizing safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness on your job site.

What is the Mast Climbing Work Platform

Mast Climbing Work Platform

Introduction to Mast Climbing Work Platform

Mast climbing work platforms, also known as mast climbing systems, are temporary work platforms that are designed to transport personnel, equipment, and materials vertically alongside structures during construction and maintenance activities.

Key Features

Some of the key features of the mast climbing work platform include:

  • The automated robotic platform that can climb externally on structures
  • Allows vertical transportation with a built-in hoist system
  • Provides a stable work platform with guardrails for safety
  • Has a modular platform that can be expanded as needed
  • Includes an operator’s cab to control the platform

Major Components

The major components of a mast climbing work platform include:

  • Chassis – The base frame that supports the platform
  • Mast – Vertical tower structure fitted with a climbing drive mechanism
  • Working platform – The working area where personnel and materials are transported
  • Control panel – Houses the control system and operator controls
  • Safety devices – Equipment like anchor points, guardrails, gates and toe boards

Mast climbing work platforms are used extensively in commercial and industrial construction projects on structures like high-rise buildings, bridges, transmission towers, chimneys and more. The key advantage of these platforms is to provide safe vertical access for workers to conduct tasks at height during construction.

Safety Considerations for Mast Climbing Work Platform

Proper safety procedures and guidelines must be followed when using mast climbing work platforms to ensure safety of personnel.

Hazard Assessment

Prior to starting work, the work site should be assessed for the following hazards:

  • Overhead obstructions
  • High voltage lines
  • Inadequate base support
  • Drop-offs
  • Debris
Hazard Control Method
Falls Install guardrails, use fall protection equipment
Collapse Proper maintenance, do not overload
Electrocution Maintain safe distance fr om power lines

Equipment Use

  • Operators must be properly trained as per OSHA regulations
  • Do not override or bypass safety devices
  • Ensure the platform is fully planked with adequate-grade wood or metal
  • Do not exceed the platform load capacity limits

Maintenance

  • Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for inspection and maintenance
  • Check the mast tower, drive mechanism, and control panel as per the manual
  • Ensure regular maintenance for smooth operation

Following proper safety guidelines as per OSHA’s scaffolding regulations and manufacturer instructions is critical to prevent injuries or fatalities when using mast climbing work platforms.

Industry Regulations and Standards for Mast Climbing Work Platform

The design, construction, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance of mast climbing work platforms are governed by regulations and industry standards from organizations like OSHA, ANSI, ASME etc.

OSHA Regulations

The key OSHA regulations that apply to mast climbers are:

  • 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L – Scaffolds
    • Sets requirements for capacity, fall protection, training, etc.
  • 29 CFR 1926.453 – Aerial Lifts
    • Covers the safe operation of vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating work platforms
Regulation Applicable Section
29 CFR 1926.451 General requirements
29 CFR 1926.452 Additional requirements for specific types of scaffolds
29 CFR 1926.454 Training requirements

ANSI/ASSE A92.9 Standard

The ANSI/ASSE A92.9 standard covers safety requirements for design, calculations, testing, installation, use, maintenance and inspection of mast climbing work platforms. Key sections include:

  • Design and Construction
  • Installation and Use
  • Testing and Maintenance
  • Training and Operation
