          Certainly, many people are familiar with and have heard of the  Tower Crane used in construction work, either to some extent or not. This is because the tower crane is a type of heavy machinery used for lifting and moving objects both vertically and horizontally, or from one location to another easily. Due to this feature, contractors often use it for high-rise building construction sites. Tower cranes for construction sites can be divided into 2 types.

Types of Tower Cranes for High-Rise Construction Projects

        1.Classification by Tower Crane Type – For example, the Hammerhead Crane is a flat boom tower crane, commonly used in construction where the work area is wide, or where there is a need for a crane with a long boom of 60 meters or more. The flat boom type is cheaper to rent compared to the luffing jib crane.

        Next, there is the Luffing Jib Crane, which is also used in construction work. This type is more suitable for sites that require restricted space, where no one else should enter the area, or in construction sites near other sites.

        Both types of tower cranes can be further classified into 3 installation types: Static Crane (installed outside the building), Internal Floor Climbing (climbing through the lift shaft or openings), and Travelling Crane (moving along rails). In addition, there is also a Self-Erection Tower Crane, which can be installed by itself.

 

          2.Classification by Installation Type – For example, there are the tower cranes for internal floor climbing, used for climbing inside the lift shaft (Internal Floor Climbing); tower cranes for external building installation (Static Crane); and tower cranes that move along rails (Travelling Crane).

        No matter how tall the building construction is, the Tower Crane can climb up the height of the building. In addition to using tower cranes outside the building, there are also cranes used inside factories. Depending on the type of work, it is important to choose the right type of tower crane because each type has different features.
