An additional crane is required to erect a tower crane but a self-erecting tower crane can erect itself without the need of a second crane.

Self-erecting cranes can be remote controlled from the ground.

Self-Erecting Cranes

Portal tower cranes are used for permanent applications like a shipyard or a factory.

It is a type of tower crane that is setup to run along a track or rail.

Portal Tower Crane

Flat top tower cranes do not have the “top” that conventional cranes have.

Flat Top Tower

These cranes are ideal for use at sites where there are height restrictions such as airport flight paths.

Luffing jib cranes are ideal for urban use because they require little room for slewing motions and have an outstanding reach.
