The High-Altitude Power of a Tower Crane

No modern building or structure can be constructed without specialized construction equipment. There are countless mechanisms and devices, and against this backdrop the tower crane stands out in particular.

Today, construction uses such heavy, high-tonnage materials that without auxiliary equipment it is simply impossible to lift them to the required heights. It follows that without a tower crane one should not even think about large-scale construction of residential high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, and business and sports complexes. Demand for tower cranes has only been increasing lately. Tower cranes are sold by numerous companies, both large and small. However, this does not mean that the buyer is relieved of the need for preliminary calculations to determine the correct choice of a specific tower crane model. Despite their broad functionality, tower cranes differ in lifting capacity, speed of assembly and disassembly, maximum height, jib outreach, and many other parameters. The specifics of the construction project can dictate special requirements; this is why there are tower cranes with luffing and horizontal jib designs, and with slewing and non-slewing towers.

Thus, for projects with heights not exceeding 54 meters, it is reasonable and economically justified to use КБ-403 tower cranes. If, however, the task is to construct a building with more than thirty floors, then there arises the need to use a КБ 408 tower crane. Among the many manufacturers, Liebherr tower cranes stand out in particular. Here you can find not only a wide variety of models for any construction site, but also discover, thanks to automatic control systems, a truly new level of safe work. Exceptional reliability, the ability to operate at great heights, handling of heavy loads, speed and ease of assembly and disassembly, automated safety, transportability, and many other advantages make the tower crane today a unique, indispensable, and unrivaled piece of equipment.
