The lifting capacity of a tower crane refers to the weight that its hook can safely lift. This capacity includes the weight of the slings, lifting devices, and containers. The lifting capacity varies with the crane’s working radius. Therefore, each crane is equipped with a unique lifting capacity chart corresponding to its operating radius, commonly […]

When constructing the track foundation for tower cranes, it is sometimes necessary to install curved tracks at one or both ends of a straight track. This allows the crane to smoothly transition and continue its lifting operations across different construction areas. Such a requirement typically arises under two main conditions: Complex Project Design: When the engineering […]

Tower cranes are essential in the construction industry, facilitating the lifting and moving of heavy materials at significant heights. However, like any mechanical equipment, tower cranes are susceptible to wear and failure, which can significantly impact their operational efficiency and safety. The wear on tower crane components can generally be categorized into two primary types: […]
With increasing urban development and the need for high-rise construction, tower cranes have become integral components of construction sites worldwide. However, these cranes are highly susceptible to strong winds, especially during typhoons. Typhoons, known for their high-intensity winds, can have profound effects on the structural integrity, stability, and overall safety of tower cranes. This document […]
