Potain Self Erect Cranes Phoenix

Tower cranes are being used often for large building construction projects. They are required for the heavy lifting and positioning of supplies and machinery. Tower cranes provide a unique configuration which provides numerous advantages over more traditional cranes. These advantages include: higher vertical lift, quiet electrical operation, reduced space requirements and increased capacities.



Hammerhead Crane

The hammerhead crane is frequently associated with a tower crane. The long horizontal jib is attached to a vertical tower, in this situation. One end of the jib acts as a counterweight and the other end of the jib extends horizontally over the worksite. On the hammerhead crane, there is a trolley. This trolley holds the lifting cable and travels along the length of the jib. The tower crane can operate anywhere within the jib's radius.



Self-Erecting Tower Cranes

A self-erecting crane is capable of completely assembling itself at the jobsite without any assistance from another crane. This greatly saves time in equipment costs and provides a huge advantage in setup time too. Self-erecting cranes are often remote-controlled from the ground, even though there are some models which have an operator cab built onto the jib.



The self-erecting crane is normally freestanding to allow them the opportunity to be moved around. There are some models that have a telescoping tower that enables the crane to work at multiple heights without the need to reconfigure the tower.



Luffing Jib Tower Crane

Normally, within urban work environments, there is not enough space or clearance for the jib to rotate freely without being blocked by existing buildings. A luffing jib tower crane is great for such confined spaces. Most tower cranes have a fixed horizontal jib. The driver can lower or raise a luffing jib in order to enable the crane to swing in a reduced radius.
