A tower crane is a tall, fixed crane used on construction sites to lift and move heavy materials like steel, concrete, machinery, and large building parts. It can reach great heights and carry very heavy loads, making it essential for building skyscrapers and large structures.

What It Is:
A tower crane has a tall mast (vertical part), a long horizontal arm (called a jib), and a counterweight to balance the load. The crane can rotate 360 degrees and move heavy materials from one place to another on the site with ease.

  • Lifting steel, concrete, and large materials
  • Placing heavy items at high points on buildings
  • Moving construction tools and equipment across large sites

Where It is Used:

  • High-rise building construction
  • Bridge and flyover projects
  • Large industrial plants
  • Power plants and shipyards

Key Features:

  • Can lift very heavy loads
  • Covers a large working area
  • Height and load capacity can be adjusted
  • Operated by trained professionals for safety

Benefits:

  • Saves time and manual effort
  • Increases construction speed
  • Stable and safe for lifting large materials
  • Works efficiently at great heights
