Overview
The Tower Crane, a core lifting equipment in construction engineering, is designed for vertical and horizontal material transportation. Renowned for its high efficiency, extensive coverage, and stability, it is widely used in high-rise buildings, bridge construction, power plant projects, port logistics, and more. Modern tower cranes integrate intelligent control technologies, offering precise hoisting, enhanced safety, and user-friendly operation, making them indispensable in modern construction.
Types and Structural Features
Tower cranes are categorized by structural design:
Flat-Top Tower Crane
1. Features: No traditional tower head; modular design for easy assembly and transport.
2. Advantages: Ideal for dense urban construction with reduced component interference.
Hammerhead Tower Crane
1. Features: Classic tower head structure with high stability.
2. Advantages: High load capacity, suitable for heavy-duty scenarios like industrial plants and bridges.
Luffing Jib Tower Crane
1. Features: Adjustable jib angle for flexible operation in confined spaces.
2. Advantages: Adapts to complex terrains, such as mountainous or narrow sites.
Key Components
Tower Mast: Modular sections allow height adjustment via climbing systems.
Jib: Horizontal or luffing arm with a radius of up to 80+ meters.
Counter Jib: Equipped with counterweights to balance loads.
Operator Cab: Ergonomically designed with integrated smart controls.
Slewing Mechanism: 360° rotation for precise positioning.
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Max. Load Capacity | 10-50 tons (model-dependent) |
| Working Radius | 30-80 meters |
| Max. Lifting Height | 200-400 meters (anchored) |
| Hoisting Speed | 0-120 m/min (variable frequency drive) |
| Slewing Speed | 0-0.6 rpm |
| Motor Power | 30-150 kW (load-dependent) |
Applications
Skyscrapers: Synchronized height adjustment via climbing systems.
Bridges: Hoisting prefabricated beams and steel girders.
Industrial Plants: Installing heavy machinery (e.g., generators, reactors).
Wind Power: Custom models for turbine blade installation.
After-Sales Service & Maintenance
Installation Support: Site assessment, foundation setup, and assembly by certified teams.
Scheduled Maintenance: Lubrication, bolt tightening, and electrical checks every 500 operating hours.
24/7 Support: 4-hour emergency response for critical issues.
