At the present time, it is difficult to carry out construction without the help of a slewing tower crane. After all, it is with its help that any material or structural element can be delivered to the desired height and to a specific place. Loading and unloading work at a construction site occurs precisely with its help. This technique in modern construction cannot be underestimated.

Tower crane types

But this technique also has great advantages over massive slewing  tower cranes: they have excellent maneuverability, no need to clear the workspace, and are not too bulky. And these factors contribute to great time savings.

2. Stationary. They differ from the rest in their huge carrying capacity. They are fixed on a fixed base. They have the ability to be mounted directly on the walls of the building under construction. They are used for the construction of skyscrapers and large construction sites.

3. Self-elevating. Cranes of this type can serve the construction of buildings with absolutely any height. Such a crane is full-revolving, having a beam-type boom along with a mobile cargo trolley or with a lifting boom of the usual type. It is used in the construction of more complex structures.
