Tower Crane Parts

Several of the most remarkable structures around the world are built with cranes. The newer cranes are utilized in order to reach higher heights. Tower cranes offer the means to transport and lift tools, building parts and supplies all over a construction site. There are various parts which assemble a tower crane once they are put together. Putting a tower crane together uses different pieces of construction machines.



Base

The tower crane base is normally made from a steel unit. The units' base connects to a custom pad made of concrete. This set-up gives the structure stability. Generally, the construction should be engineered and constructed well in order to operate at optimum safety.



Mast

The tower cranes mast provides height to the equipment. The mast is made of connected steel parts. The amount of sections determines the crane's height. Typically, a tower crane has a design that enables the mast to grow during construction by adding more parts as the building process continues. This way the height of the crane could be specified, making sure that it has sufficient height to safely and efficiently perform the needed work.



Slewing Unit/Top Climber

Over the mast is the slewing unit. It houses the motor and machinery that enables the crane to rotate. A top climber is the piece of equipment which enables the mast to grow. The top climber sits just below the slewing unit. Hydraulic rams in the top climber allow the slewing unit to be detached from the mast by raising it higher.



Boom

"Boom" is a term which specifically refers to the working arm of a tower crane. The boom is made of steel parts attached together, that extend out from the top of the slewing unit, parallel to the ground. There is a trolley attached to the underside that can run the length of the boom. This trolley holds the hoisting mechanism.
