Tower Crane Systems

Tunnel formwork and large-panel systems work by crane. As the manufacturer of the formwork, we know the crane side of the equation too — and we know the two must be planned together.

Products and services

• Tower crane manufacturing and mast section production
• Base chassis and anchoring systems
• Jib and counter-jib structures
• Replacement structural parts for existing cranes
• Technical support for erection and dismantling

What determines crane selection

Crane selection on a site comes down to three questions: where will you lift the heaviest load, how high will you go, and where will you erect the crane? These must be answered together with formwork selection — otherwise the formwork arrives on site and cannot be handled.

• Tip load capacity — the heaviest piece at the furthest point is decisive
• Hook height — final building height and formwork length are calculated together
• Mast position — excavation, neighbouring plot and power line clearances
• Foundation and anchoring — designed according to the ground investigation

Safety

The tower crane is the most critical piece of equipment on site. Erection, climbing and dismantling must be carried out only by authorised, trained crews in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Periodic inspections and load tests must not be neglected.
